Day 3 Thunder Bay – Kenora – Winnipeg
Depart in the morning to Dryden for a pit stop, then to Kenora for Husky the Muskie. Got a tour of the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg. Visited popular sites in Winnipeg and stayed over night there.
Day 5 Regina – Calgary
Depart from Regina to Calgary. Arrived in Calgary in the afternoon. Checked out the downtown core and climbed McHugh Bluff stairs. Got some smoked Alberta BBQ beef brisket for dinner at a local restaurant. Stayed overnight at a Calgary hotel.
Day 6a Calgary – Banff – Lake Louise
Departed Calgary in the morning and headed to Banff National Park to stop at “The Jewel of Rockies” – Lake Louise. Amazing views of the lake as you walked along it. Later we took the lake cruise Minnewanka and got a treat in seeing a family of bears near the water.
Day 6b Calgary – Banff – Lake Louise
After we took Banff Gondola ride up to the Sulphur Mountain and enjoy the panoramic view of Banff and Lake Minnewanka. Then visit the picturesque bow falls- venue of the famous movie “River of No Return”. Had dinner in Town of Banff and headed to Canmore for overnight stay at a hotel. Day 6 was definitely the best day for attractions.
Day 7 Jasper – Columbia Ice field – Glacier Skywalk – Salmon Arm
In the morning visited Jasper National Park. Made a quick stop at Bow Lake. Then headed to Columbia Ice Field, the largest ice mass in the Rocky Mountains. Transferred by the big-wheeled “Snow Coach” for a closer look at more than 300 meters deep Athabasca Glacier. After that we headed to the The Glacier Skywalk which is a small glass walk path above a valley. After lunch, stopped by Peyto Lake and then traveled through the Rocky Mountains and Yoho National Park. Final stop was at Salmon Arm where our hotel was at and then headed downtown for dinner at an Indian restaurant.
Day 9 Stawamus Chief – All three peaks
Had great memories hiking around Vancouver a long time ago and was super excited to do one during my recent short stay in Vancouver. Found a meetup group that organized a hike to Stawamus Chief. Listed for intermediate hikers, this hike was more difficult than I originally thought. It required you to hike up and down very steep slopes, walk on jagged slippery rocks and climb up and down big boulders using metal chains and rusty ladders. Though it was dangerous and tiring; it was very rewarding in the end with great views of the area and great memories.
Day 8-12 Vancouver
Headed to our final destination which was Vancouver. Decided to stay a few more days to enjoy the city a little bit longer. Visited many popular locations such as Stanley Park, Gastown steam clock, McArthurGlen Designer Outlet, Lonsdale Quay, downtown Chinatown, Queen Elizabeth Park, Granville Island, Vancouver Waterfront, and Sunset Beach Park. As well as tried out some of Vancouver’s delicious food at Japadog, Ryuu Japanese Kitchen, Lonsdale Quay Market, Ba Le Sandwich, Tako, Wak Wak burger, and Miku. There are many great places I didn’t have time to visit and lots of food on my must eat list I haven’t tried. Will be back again in a few years to cross those off.

If you've been using a travel guide book, it is going to have hotel recommendations included. Most have reviews, include pricing, or at least pricing categories, for each one. Many will be able to be booked online.
However, some of the smaller, independently owned hotels still do the booking themselves. Most you can correspond with via email, but some are a little more old fashioned, and only take reservations over the phone. If that is the case, do not let the thought of calling internationally and speaking to someone that English may not be their first tongue, intimidate you. These are business people that make a living providing rooms to tourists that, guess what, probably do not speak their native language. They all speak enough English to take a reservation!
Take a look at your itinerary, and start booking these hotels for each location. You generally want to book at least 2-3 months prior, just to ensure you are able to get exactly the hotel you want. If you're traveling during the peak season, you might want to start a little earlier. Most hotels do require a credit card to book the room, but most will allow you to pay in cash upon arrival.
Once these hotels are booked, write down the contact information (hotel name, address, phone number) and save for your records. There is also an awesome website called Tripit, that has an itinerary maker tool that allows you to either enter this information in manually, or it even has a feature that you can forward them any confirmation emails (for hotels, and even airline info) , and it will actually do it for you.
For my hotel choices, I go middle of the road here. I can not afford to stay in five star hotels, but I do not want to be inconvenienced by uncomfortable circumstances like an over crowded Youth Hostel. I prefer to have the best of both worlds: experiencing the country, people, and culture that I've immersed myself in, while not staying in "sketchy" accommodations. I lean toward small, independently owned hotels, near the city central, but sheltered from the areas that are choked with tourists.
Plus, most of these independently owned small hotels are run by the owners themselves, who are always MORE than happy to help out their guests. They are one of the best travel advisers you will run into while you're there. They can tell you where the best local places are to eat, the easiest ways to navigate the city, to even helping you book museum reservations and tours.

I recommend to use headphones 😉

All I can really say about this is that she proved she is a star on the rise. Also, I haven’t mentioned it yet, but her backup dancers were incredible as well! It was also nice that she threw a little kiss my way to basically end the show! 😉
I hope she stays down to earth, personable, full of life and positive energy. It will be interesting to see her perform again in a little over a month opening for Taylor Swift. It will be a very different atmosphere considering it will be going from a 2700 seat venue to a 50,000+ seat stadium!
This is Camila Cabello performing her song ‘Havana’ live at The Orpheum, Vancouver, BC on April 9th, 2018, the opening show of her first solo tour, the Never Be The Same Tour.

Eureka Springs, Arkansas, is an extraordinary travel destination in the USA. Visited by thousands of visitors around the globe, this beautiful place is best known for its rich history, magnificent Victorian homes, and the trolley tour that take visitors around the city. One of the most popular tourist attractions in the area is the elegant, 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa. Situated downtown in the historical city, this wonderful hotel is popular for the vibrant history that surrounds it and makes it worth a visit. As you enter the soaring hotel building, you can experience the old charm of the Victorian era.
The best way to tour this historic city is to take a horse drawn carriage ride. In case you are not interested in the traditional carriage ride, you can choose the trolley ride to tour the city. The trolley services are extremely inexpensive and are best suited for those who are traveling on a strict budget. One trolley ride pass costs just $ 2, a full day pass costs $ 4, and a 2-day pass merely $ 6. However, if you buy the 2-day pass, you are required to use it on 2 consecutive days. If you are traveling with kids, traveling become cheaper, with the trolley passes for kids charging just $ 1 per ride.
Special tram tours are also available but are a bit pricey. These trams function on a daily basis from March 4 to October 30. In November, the service is made available Thursday through Monday, while in December, it operates on a limited schedule. You can also opt for the special narrated tram tours. The detailed information regarding the trolley and tram tours can be obtained either at the visitor information center or in travel guides available online.
Another major point of tourist interest in Eureka Springs is the Opera in the Ozarks. The productions are stupendous and exceptionally talented artists travel to the area just to take part in this grand opera festival. During every season, three foremost operas are performed here-two in English and the third one in the proportional regional language. Eureka Springs has a lot more to offer and is certainly an ideal holiday destination in the USA.

Paris is known as one of the most romantic cities in the world and with good reason. It is bursting with beautiful architecture, gorgeous restaurants and intimate boutique hotels. All of these combined make Paris the perfect place for a romantic getaway.
The most popular tourist attraction in Paris is the Eiffel Tower, it costs around 8 Euros per person and the lifts run until around midnight, giving people a chance to see the lights of Paris. The Eiffel Tower is also one of the most popular romantic attractions as numerous amounts of people propose to their partners while taking in the breath taking views or eating at one of the two restaurants located in the Eiffel Tower. The first floor restaurant, 58 Tour Eiffel, is very family friendly in the day, but come evening and it is transformed into a brassiere restaurant, whereas Le Jules Verne on the second floor offers elegant French cuisine.
Another must visit attraction is the Louvre, if only for the stunning piece of architecture that is the Louvre Pyramid. However, the Louvre does have much more to offer, including the most famous masterpieces from Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa to Veronese’s Wedding feast at Cana. There are plenty of tours available which give you background information on all the artwork, although if you’re looking for something different then why not try the Louvre’s Da Vinci code tour? This is great for people that have read the book and want to see the artwork up close to find the hidden meanings for themselves.
One of the best things to do in the evening is to go and see Le Moulin Rouge, this is one of the most famous shows in the world and provides some great entertainment! If you’d prefer to have a more relaxed evening then why not try a night cruise down the Seine River, this is one of the most romantic tours that Paris offers giving you the opportunity to see some of the greatest sights at night, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre-Dame cathedral.
