Looking for suggestions on where to travel for 7 days. Parameters:
-Somewhat direct flight (don't want to spend two days getting there!)
-More than just a city...want to visit somewhere big enough that we can check out multiple spots, but not too big where we feel like we've missed most of it
-Somewhat budget friendly… See more

Spain

Raelene wonder who put you up to that idea

Honolulu

lots to see, take a day trip to another island, rent a car or take the bus to the north shore, no hassle, no fuss

Billie we were actually just in Hawaii. Love it!

me too, would go again and again and again - well have, more than a few hundred times

7 days in Paris....perfect!

How about Yukon? It’s beautiful in June... daylight all day!! It’s the poor man’s Iceland

Winnie Absolutely beautiful in June. Daylight all night long. We are going up in June/July. If you are flying, try Air North. Weather in June is often warmer than Vancouver.

Fly to Cabo and head north into the Baja peninsula....

Not really YVR but, have you considered taking the Amtrak Cascades train to Portland? It's a beautiful journey and you start your stress-free travel the minute you step aboard. If you really enjoy train travel then book the overnighter to San Francisco. We've done it twice and it's just the most relaxing, enjoyable, retro experience.

I second this suggestion! Portland is such a neat city to visit. Great restaurants and lots to do. Amtrak is only $50 each way, Bolt Bus is even cheaper, but takes longer. Return flights can be a cheap as $200, if booked on a seat sale.
