Where in the world: 8-day Nova Scotia & Prince Edward Island Adventure
Book by: April 15
Departure Dates: May – September 2016
Cost: $1,099pp
Why I Like It: This is a lovely part of Canada with so much to see and do and you won’t find a better price. For about a thousand bucks, you get round-trip airfare from Chicago to Halifax (other departure cities available), all airline taxes, fees, and fuel surcharges, seven nights lodging with all taxes, fees and service charges, transfers, most meals, tour guide and sighseeing including admission fees. Highlights: Anne of Green Gables Museum, Cape Breton Island, Peggy’s Cove, Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, Cabot Trail, and more. Optional sunset sail on Bras d’Or Lakes. This is a savings of $500-$600 per couple.

On my bucket list is a trip through the Canadian Rockies. Are there any reasonable trips out there? The Rocky Mountaineer appears to be nice but it seems to be expensive so I am looking at alternatives.
Coincidentally, this week’s TRIP PICK is a Canadian Adventure. It is a nice 8-day package that includes air, lodging, sightseeing, etc. for about $1,000. Great price, huh?! For details visit http://terrancetalkstravel.com/canadian-adventure/. Another good option is Trafalgar’s Canadian Rockies Tour, which is a 7-day itinerary for $2,025 and includes lodging, some meals, and sightseeing with wildlife expert/guide. You will visit Jasper National Park, Banff, Yoho National Park, Lake Louise, Calgary, and more. Highlights include a gondola ride, Glacier Skywalk, Canadian Mountie storytelling, cruise aboard an Ice Explorer, scenic drive along Icefields Parkway, Valley of the Ten Peaks, Takakkaw Falls, Spiral Tunnels, Kicking Horse Pass, hayride and barbeque, and more! If you have your heart set on a rail trip then you will pay more, especially if you go on the Rocky Mountaineer. Here are some rail options you may want to explore, http://www.vacationsbyrail.com/canada/?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Canada%20Rail%20Tours%20General&utm_term=Canada%20Train%20Trips&utm_content=Train%20Trip%20Canada. Hope this helps and that you do get to check this destination off your bucket list. Keep me posted!
