Where I can fly

Posted by Tyler Kinch on 26th December 2006

Thanks Berlynn for your suggestion on where I should travel on my possible cross country trip. I’m still deciding on whether or not I will be doing this. The positives are that it will probably be a long time before I have the chance to do something like this again, and I will learn more about Canada. The negatives are the costs other than the flights (I’m getting the flights for dirt cheap). I’d really have to budget for it, and try and stay at other people’s houses when I could or find really great hostels. School is another concern… but I don’t have classes on Mondays, so I could still do this with only missing a class or two every once in a while, which I am sure I could catch up on. I’ll let you all know when I decide.

Anyways I’ve had a couple of emails from people asking me where I can fly to. Below is a list, so if you are suggesting somewhere that’s outside of these urban centers, let me know of a good way to get there. I don’t drive, so renting a car will not be possible, but I am willing to bus to a few areas if they are worth visiting.

Need suggestions for places to go and see in Canada!

Posted by Tyler Kinch on 26th December 2006

Ok, I may be able to fly anywhere in Canada on the weekends in January and February. I’ve never really visited anywhere in Canada before more west then Vancouver… and more east then Calgary as I don’t have the money to travel.

I’m already planning on going to Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec and the Maritimes on one of the longer periods of time… but I would like some suggestions on where else I can go… and also what to do when I am there.

The flights will be covered, so that will not be a problem but I will be on a really tight budget for Accommodations, so any tips on good hotels, hostels, food, and what not would also be appreciated.

I hope I can do this, and blog about it while I’m traveling. Thanks in advance for all your tips. Maybe I will even be able to visit some other bloggers/readers on my journies.
