The favorable exchange rate for the American dollar not only extends to Europe. If you haven’t looked lately, $1 US will now fetch $1.33 in Canada. I haven’t seen an exchange rate like that since I was at an Expos game. If the exorbitant flights to Europe limit your options to the continent, especially if you want to travel as a family, head north. I’m already planning to go to New Brunswick in mid-June for more adventures on the Bay and Fundy and possibly a trip to Churchill, Manitoba in winter to spot polar bears. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
I’m also heading to the Canada Media Marketplace<\/a> next week in New York, something I’ve done every other year for at least the past 15 years. I’ll be with old friends in the travel world hearing new and noteworthy story angles about the country as they celebrate their 150th anniversary of the Confederation in 2017. I’ve had the good fortune to travel extensively around Canada, biking around the wine country at Niagara-on-the-Lake<\/a>, sea kayaking inn-to-inn around Prince Edward Island, hiking with moose in Cape Breton and atop fjords in the striking Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland<\/a>, savoring the charming town of St. Andrews in New Brunswick<\/a> and the farming community of Salt Spring Island<\/a> in BC, going on such memorable adventures as whitewater rafting down the Klinaklini River in BC, a multi-sport vacation with the family in the Canadian Rockies<\/a>, or canoeing through Ontario’s remote Wabakimi Wilderness<\/a>, and loving my time in the cities while vintage shopping in Toronto<\/a> and eating my way though Vancouver<\/a>. If you need me to point you in the right direction, I’m happy to help! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’ll be back on Monday, April 10th, with my 5 favorite travel ideas in Canada from the conference. Have a great week and stay active! <\/div>\n
