Canada holiday plans - advice please
On Sat, 03 Dec 2005 13:37:09 GMT, LJE wrote:
Hello everyone Next year we are planning to take our two children (aged 15 and 10) to Canada for 2 weeks in either late July or early to mid August. We particularly want to visit Niagara Falls, would like a scenic train trip and my husband and kids would love to go somewhere wild and lonely (though I confess this last one scares me a bit!). We live in the UK and the extent of our foreign travel so far is just France and Spain, so we are looking for any advice we can get to help us plan our trip. We are not that well off financially and have saved hard to fund this holiday. A few things I can think of that I could use advice on are as follows:- 1) What is the weather likely to offer and what are the normal temperatures day and night in July and August? Depending on location, weather can be anything from snow in July in Alberta, to tropical storms in Ontario!! 2) Are there any bugs to worry about (mosquitoes, gnats things that bite or sting)? Canada is flooded every summer by hordes of foul mosquitoes, and in some parts of Ontario and Alberta, huge black flies that can chew large chunks of skin out of your body! 3) Is tap water safe to drink? Definitely not in many places, such as Walkerville Ontario, and Edmonton Alberta, to name two places that have made the news. 4) We plan to move around a bit to see as much as possible, is there any particular type of accommodation, motels, hotels, or self-catering places that you could reccommend to either stay in or stay away from? With the sky-high costs for hotels/motels in Canada, plus double sales taxes - GST PLUS PST, do you really want to waste so much money here? Eastern Europe is much better, and cheaper. 5) What is the usual cost of hotel rooms, do Canadian hotels offer family rooms that sleep 4 people, and what facilities are regarded as usual in rooms? $100 to $400 per person,per room, taxes extra!! 6) What is parking like in Ontario, are the roads very busy? Roads are atrocious, and some highways even are toll roads charging for every kilometer, without any better condition! I'm sure I'll think of lots more questions the minute I hit the 'send' button, but thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer - it will be greatly appreciated! Lynda If you enjoy being swindled daily, then you may enjoy travel in Canada. On the other hand, why not consider Dominican Republic? They have fantastic all-inclusive package tours - airfare,hotels,meals. _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 140,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |
