Wheres the best place to go in Canada?

Q. I am from southern california, and next winter when im 18 and graduated i plan to travel to Canada with my girlfriend who will be 16 at the time (yeah its gnna be hard passing this by her parents LOL) So wheres the best/closest place to go in Canada from the west coast? How much money do you think id be looking at for staying a week up there?
wow thats a bummer sue f, theres no way around that?

A. Well, I would suggest checking out the Shuswap Valley, Kamloops, Kelowna, Revelstoke, Even Banff and Jasper would be great. Our dollar currency is the same right now and doesn't look like it will change anytime soon. If you planning on Hotels, it will range any where from 99$ - $159/night. If you use Motels and stay in smaller towns, maybe 79$ - 99$/night. If you brought a lot of your own food and just used a cooler, you would save some money. Gas is pretty exspensive here $1.10- $1.29/litre(4.62 - 5.49/ galon).

Really if you want beauty, go to Banff and Jasper in the Mountains - extremely beautiful, but exspensive. 16$/day for park pass, and then hotel rooms are about 200$ or more a night.

You could aslo Check out Vancouver and Victoria, but I think you two would be kind of young for there. It would be like going to New york, or Toronto.

Canadians, what do you like best about your beautiful country?
Q. I'm English and I really want to visit Canada. As a prospective tourist I would like a Canadians opinion on the best bits of Canada so I know what I have to see/experience when I go in terms of Cities, towns, highways, landscapes, food, architecture, history, people, national parks, travel.
To give you sense of what I mean, to most young people in England Canada is bears, mountains, forests, snow and Avril Lavigne lol... but what else is there?

Any answers would be great :)

Thanks.

A. Montreal is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in Canada. I suggest going there closer to Christmas. It's so beautiful with all the lights and the shopping is really great.

Ottawa is beautiful, and full of pretty gardens and old buildings. It's great around both winter and spring.

A trip throughout the maritimes is a good one as well. There's Nova Scotia, News Brunswick, Newfoundland, and PEI. Whether you go to a major city or a little town there, they all feel like charming little boating villages. I especially love Halifax, it's right on the water, and so nice.

Winnipeg, though not everyone thinks so, is a great city (perhaps not so much in winter though!). It's also very old because of the Hudsons Bay Company. There are great museums there, I would especially recommend Lower Fort Gary or the Museum of Man and Nature. And there are so many beach communities an hours drive from the city. Renting a cottage out there is a great way to spend a week, and the drive out along the River Road is really spectacular.

Calgary is alright, but it`s best in July when the Stampede is here. But Banff is a super cute little winter village and the Banff Springs Hotel is just magnificent! And Bannf National Park is a beautiful place for hiking. It's just a few hours from Calgary. Or from Edmonton, if you would like to visit there, which has West Edmonton Mall, the greatest mall of life!

BC is also fabulous. Victoria is so beautiful and great for shopping. Vancouver has so much do, it's a city full of life. Kelowna is very relaxing and little coastal towns are great to visit.

What is the closest hotel to the Greyhound bus station in Kelowna, BC?
Q.

A. The Best Western is directly beside the bus station.
