Oh, Canada!
Guides to our neighbors to the north, those lovable Canucks north of the 49th parallel, Canada
Take the United States and make the wilderness vaster, the cities cleaner, and the people more polite. Now add a daub of French culture and 33% to the value of your cash, and you've got Canada. Whether skiing Whistler, hiking the Rockies, dining on fine French cuisine in Quebec, or driving the dramatic Atlantic coastline, you'll always find our northerly neighbor a fantastic bargain.
This time, the exchange rate works in our favor: Canadian prices are the same than they are at home, yet a single U.S. greenback buys you $1.33 Canadian. Cosmopolitan Toronto is a particularly good value. Plus, there's Calgary-based no-frills airline WestJet (www.westjet.com), which flies to three dozen U.S. destinations.
Stay & Dine: $118 per person for Toronto hotel packages that include a sightseeing pass, tickets to a hit musicals, and dinner in a fine restaurant (www.seetorontonow.com). Quebec Province—including Quebec City and Montreal—offers similar deals at www.bonjourquebec.com.
Package: $1,109 for air, rental car, and seven nights of Country Inns, which you can pick as you go driving around Nova Scotia (800-567-6666, www.maxximvacations.com).
