trip to canada

My husband and I will be travelling to canada in December (is December the worst time to visit?) with our 2 year old son. My questions are:

1. What part of the canada should we stay?
2. What recommenations do you have on accommodations?

We're looking for a quiet small place. Also, we like a bungalow or some kind of interesting small place to stay. Not a large hotel or noisy. But, also we will have a 2 year old with us. Modest price range.would like to pay $100 per night or under.

What exactly are thinking to do? Do you want to ski, or other snow sports, or go to the theatre, or just hang out in front of a fire and read a book?

Canada is REALLY big, with different weather from one end to the other, with all sorts of different things to do in December.

She could walk the Trans-Canada trail, coast to coast . . . that shouldn't take too long.


Kidding Mary.

Hello friends,
I just want to hang out with my husband and wants to explore some parts of canada like Toronto, Thunder Bay, Vancouver.

Well, Toronto and Thunder Bay are at least in the same province, but still, about 970 miles apart. According to mapquest, it would would be about 17 hours + to drive from Toronto to Thunder Bay! I think its about a 2 hour flight. Thunder Bay will be covered with snow and probably really really cold (Its above Lake Superior). Toronto will be cold, but probably no snow. Vancouver.hard to say. Most likely cold and rainy.

Vancouver is on the opposite side of the country, and about a 4+ hour flight from Toronto. About a week to drive.

You may want to just pick an area and stay there, unless you want to spend your entire vacation in airports jetting from one city to another. That's not much fun though really.

We're not kidding when we say Canada's really big. It has I think 5 time zones, (maybe 6.I forget).

Check the map at Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada

5 and a half time zones (10:30 in Newfoundland as CBC used to say). At any rate you'd be much better off to go to one location and stay in that area unless you want to drive all of the time. Also cold is rather dependant on where you come from. If you are in Northern Europe or even the Northern US its not much different. If you are from Australia it will be much different.
