Hi All,

My husband and myself are now empty nesters and are finally about to fulfill our dream of opening a camping/Motel/B&B.
We want to be surrounded by beauty and from what I have been told Manitoulin Island is one of the top 10 in Canada.
Here is my question we are looking to purchase an existing business and we have been in touch with the owner of HEMBRUFF’S MOTEL in Manitowaning: can anyone tell me about this part of Manitoulin and anything about what this Motel is like.
Thank You so much in advance for all your help.

Hi,

We will be travelling to Vancouver in Jan and would like to find out how I can get to YWCA hotel from the airport and return as well. Last time when I was there, I took the Charter Bus Lines airport transfer but seems like this is no longer in service.

I'll be 6 month pregnant at that time with my 2 years old girl, hence, I hope to find some similar airport transfer. Please kindly advise. Thanks in advance!

Is there a website for Polar Parkas in Yellowknife. Do they accept mail orders? I can't find anything with a Google search but they have been recommended to me by an Inuit friend. Thanks.

the reason I ask is bc when we get it, it will be 3:30AM and when we leave it is 5AM, so want to make sure it is still bright enough to drive
I remember when I was at Banff in late may it was pretty much daylight 24 hrs :)

Driving tips Seattle to Glacier N P to Banff to Vancouver

Hello,

I'm currently in Montreal and I was told that there is a bike path by the Lachine Canal. I'm looking for a scenic route with lots of trees (in order to see the change of colors...). Is there a way to get the the Lachine Canal by public transportation? Where should I start from? Are there other areas that you would suggest?

Thanks so much!

Greetings,
I'm trying to plan a trip to Niagara Falls without needing to rent a car. I have already decided to stay on the Canadian side but I'm flying into the Niagara Falls International Airport on the US side.

Is anyone familiar with a hotel that would pick me up in the US? Any other suggestions to solve my problem would be most appreciated!

Hello! I am planning to go to Vancouver for 2 weeks. It will be my first time visiting this city and I decided to hire a car to see as much as possible. Could you, please recommend me some RELIABLE and cheap car hire companies in Vancouver?

I will travel with my small son, that is why I will highly appreciate if recommended car hire companies will be really reliable.

My husband and I are visiting Quebec City from Dec 23th to 28th 2009.
Some basic questions:
1) Is there a website that shows what restuarants will be open on Dec 24th and/or 25th? (I assume many in the city will be closed). Any suggestions where we can go for a nice meal on either of those nights?
2) Where are the best bars/pubs?
3) Is eating at the Chateau Frontenac worthwhile?
4) Can you get to Montmorency Falls via public transport and is it open over the Christmas period?
All suggestions/thoughts welcomed
Thanks S

Hello, I'm visiting Vancouver for the next three weeks to study urban agriculture on my own and visit the local farms and community agriculture. Any ideas for best sites to visit?

Also, any recommendations on hostels on a budget? Anyone visiting the city or a resident of the city who would like to give a day tour of the waterfront/cool places in Vancouver?

Thank you so much for your help!

Dear All,

We are planning to take a coach from Niagara Fall, Toronto to Buffalo Airport, NY. Both Megabus and Coach Canada operates a daily transport but we were wondering...are both toronto bus and coach terminal the same place? If not, which is nearer to Niagara falls,we'll probably live near there somewhere. And how do we get there? If they are not the same location, would anyone know which transport is more reliable? There are 6 adults in our group. thanks.

Does anyone know of a tour or some public transportation that takes one between Quebec City and the Jacques Cartier National Parc?

is the pumpkin patch open on Sunday since some people celebrate Thanksgiving that day?

Hi everyone! I will be visiting Toronto very soon and would like to know how the Vietnamese food in Toronto is. Does anyone have recommendations for visitors? Places to go, dishes to try?

Thanks in advance!

Wr're planning to visit toronto from Nov 17-21, driving from New York. Anyone with good suggestions for a family of 4 adults and 2 teens? Heard that most of the sightseeing, e.g. Niagara falls are closed, flying thousands of miles and cannot see it! hahhahaha. So....please give some great tips! thanks

Hi

What place at Niagra on the lake or even Niagara Falls would have a nice view of sunrise?

Thank you in advance.

Interesting question for you all. It's a yearly thing for me and my friends to get together once a year for a boys weekend party. We are meeting from across Canada, some of us in B.C., some of us in Ontario.

Anybody have an idea for a good city to party for a weekend somewhere between the two provinces in Canada?

Hey everyone,

I have a quite intricate problem: I need to reenter the country for a working permit to become effective.
The plan was to rent a car and drive for a few days to Montana and then back into Canada. When I tried to rent the car today, however, I found out that most rental companys require the renter to have a drivers license and a credit card. I have a driver license, but I don't have a credit card. My girlfriend (who is coming along) has a credit card, but no drivers license. It seems to be not possible to rent a car with this setup, I have tried Enterprise, Hertz, Avis, Budget and some smaller ones. Does anyone know a car rental where one can have different names for driver and credit card holder?

If this is not possible, I was looking at ways to get to Montana without a car. Greyhound only seems to offer routes to Hotsprings going over Vancouver and Seattle, which of course does not make any sense. Are there other coach companys that offer rides directly from Calgary to Montana? Do you have any other idea how I could do this?

Regards
Ole
