Spring break 2010 is all about try my new snowboarding skills in Jasper, and taking the train there of course!
When the doc’s away, the receptionist will play! My boss is going to Florida for March Break and while she’s gone, I’d love for my hubby and I to be able to take off to Quebec City by train. In our ten years together, we haven’t gone anywhere but camping in Algonquin—not even on a honeymoon!
My husband and I are getting the kids their passports and are ready to jump on any last minute seat sales/vacation deals that come available!
Sunny Colorado is where I’ll be!
Spring break will about heading to Kingston for a lovely, quiet, possibly even romantic time. Skating, eating, wine etc.I cannot wait!
My plan in July is to take the Via from Montreal to Vancouver!! It will be my first time to beautiful B.C., where I will be food blogging all the wonderful and delicious gluten free options the West Coast can offer. I’ll also head down to Chilliwack to stay in the converted Buddist temple my great uncle has turned into a home, and ride along to Kelowna to hike Big White!!!
I plan to spend time in my hometown of Victoria- doing tourist things- such as visiting Butchart Gardens.
I would love to go to Tofino of Uclulet and explore Pacific Rim National Park.
I am taking the Via Rail Canadian Train across Canada with a friend!
We are stopping for two nights in Jasper, and then two more nights in Vancouver! We will see the Olympics, and then head back home, on the train again :]
I am hoping to go to Montreal – lots of friends, food and good beer.
ONE THING ON MY BUCKET LIST IS TO GO BY TRAIN OUT WEST TO SEE THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS WITH MY HUSBAND
We are going to take the train to Toronto and see the sites! I’m really excited to go to Kensington Market and we are finally going to travel up the CN Tower!
Living in Victoria on a pension,
I too seldom have extra money to
ride the train to Nanaimo to catch a ferry to visit my son, his wife and my grandchildren.
$200 worth of train time would be a great blessing.
My daughter and I are on a very tight budget. Her older brother and his mother live in Montreal, which is a very comfortable train ride from where we live in the Ottawa area. She would love to visit him and have him show her the sights of the big city.
This “spring break” we are taking our 19 month old son who loves the train, from Toronto to brockville and Kingston and back to Toronto for a visit with all of his Grandparents.
My husband has been a Montreal Canadiens fan since he was a kid. I would love to take him to Montreal on the train to see his favourite team.
March break will be surprising my fiance in Windnsor with a visit!
Staying a few days in my university house in Ottawa, try and get some work done. Then heading home for a few days of R&R with family and friends just north of Toronto with a dinner planned, and a day of skiing @ Blue Mtn.
On my list of things to do and places to go would be to visit my friend @ Dalhousie in Halifax. $200 in travel credits would be amazing!
My daughter and I are taking the train from Ottawa to Montreal during the Spring break. We will be staying at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel and enjoying shopping and dining at the many stores and restaurants. I love how the hotel is located right at the train station. It makes it so convenient and it’s so great to be able to stay indoors to shop in the huge underground malls. We’ll also do some sight seeing and basically pampering ourselves at the hotel. I really look forward to spending time with her.
MTL is where I’ll be!
We have such a beautiful country , I would love to see it not drive it , and share the beauty with my family , maybe Quebec city maybe Toronto . this would help us afford a little trip for march break 2010 !
Taking the train from Toronto to Montreal, then on to Quebec City for a few days.
After Katimavik last year, I now have friends scattered across the country. I’d love to visit, but the challenge, beyond cost, is deciding between going to Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, or Vancouver!!
I don’t actually have a spring break this year…. but with a Via credit I could make one of my own… hmm… the possibilities
I plan to go to from Ottawa to Toronto on the train for a 3 day visit.
I’ll be taking a train to Kingston, Ontario for a few days. I like getting away from Toronto if only for a few days, to go to place were the pace is slower and more relaxed.
I would love to take the train up to ottawa, with Audrey and the kids, hopefully to have some beaver tails on the Rideau canal, and then go to see one of the Imax shows at the museum, just like old times…..
My girlfriend and I will be taking the train from the beautiful land of Nova Scotia, to the bustling suburbs of Southern Ontario, to spend the spring break with my family. While there, I’ll be showing her many of the sights and sounds of the places where I spent my earliest days. Then, to top it all off, we’ll be making a lengthy road trip with my brother to Toronto, to meet up with old friends from high school and take in a huge concert at the Air Canada Centre. After what will surely be a hectic week, we’ll make our way back to the East coast, and ease back into every day life, filled with new and sure to be long-lasting memories.
Hopefully while many others head south looking for warmth, we will be heading east to Quebec for some great downhill skiing and snowboarding. Taking the train is fanastic and works for our family. Can’t wait!
I’d love to go to Quebec City to explore the historical sites, shops and restaurants of the old downtown area. A little holiday in Quebec would be a real Canadian adventure.
We are off to Horsehoe Valley for a mini ski / snowboard vacation . They offer a ski by the light of the moon lantern lit trail.Should be fun !
I want to go to Great Wolf Lodge , Niagara Falls , with my 10 month old daughter.Would be nice to spend some time swimming in the warm indoor waterpark.
I’d like to take my wife to the Briars on Lake Simcoe . It’s a beautiful property and the food is fantastic.
Get me on a train to Ottawa. I want to see the National Gallery and The Museum Of Civilisation !
My March Break plans are to spend some time with my teenage daughter. Probably just find free things to do around here but if we won it would be a day or so in Toronto
