After next weekend camping trip in upstate NY with dear friends from PA, DH doesn't want us to spend our vacation dollars in the USA until at least November 2020. I don't agree 100% but I respect his strong beliefs about that issue so that means I need to find alternatives to our Holiday trip to WDW, next summer FL beach trip and the DCL cruise we promised the kids for Spring break 2020. For the DCL cruise, I won't break my promise so I'm looking at a European cruise from Dover, UK summer 2020. Based on 2019 prices, those cruises are more expensive than a caribbean cruise so I need to save elsewhere. I will have to cancel our Holiday vacation and for next summer, we're thinking of doing a road trip across Canada to Alberta. We will have a total of 3 weeks and we will either do it with our new car (Ford Explorer) or rent a small RV. We are used to long days of driving as we usually drive to WDW straight-thru (no overnight stop) but for our ultimate Canadian road trip, I don't want to do that and ideally I want to enjoy at least one or two things per province. That's why I need your help figuring what we could do in Western Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta on our way to Banff and Jasper. The obvious stops are provincial and national parks but which ones? Any fun (less known) stops we should do? For example, any place we could do some river tubing or zip lining? Any super cool museum we have to visit? My girls will be 7 and almost 10 by then and we are willing to make 1-2h detours from the trans-canadian highway. I am also interested in nice places to stop for the night and good restaurants. Extra points if they are local and feature local specialties.
MERCI!
P.S. I know I am early in my planning but I really enjoy planning our future vacations and I need something to plan asap! lol.
