Destination Canada

Spring continues its’ slow arrival across much of Canada.  Like most of us, we are in need of that warm weather.  I, for-one, wake up, check the long-range forecast and hope the temperatures are suppose to continue rising.  Some of you, known as snowbirds, are already ready to go back to somewhere warmer than here.

Well, if Mother-Nature gets back onto her normalized routine, most of Canada show be finally seeing some heat and t-shirt weather.  Are you looking to take a spring-getaway, but want to stay home because of that low-balling Canadian dollar?

I have linked the top 10 Best Canada Spring locations take a little vacation, feel the spring warmth and enjoy the fresh May smells, sounds and colours.  Thanks to Tripadvisor for the list.  Feel free taking your time reading the reviews and admiring the beauty right in our backyard.  Check out those perfect Canadian destinations here.
