With bcdukes and kryptonite being in Toronto, I'm sure they can relate -- there are literally tons of travel destinations that is within a 6-hours driving limit. Here, we have Victoria, Whistler, Kelowna / Okanaga, and Seattle.  |
Since moving here, my wife and I have gone on a number of road trips to explore the US Midwest and the friendlier parts of "the US South." The destinations we've explored are not typically on your average Vancouver person's "to go" list. You can get to a number of US cities in a reasonable amount of time with proper planning/timing and Apple Carplay.
The accessibility of major Canadian highways and US freeways makes it a lot easier to get around and you can go on a nice road trip with a reasonable budget. Yes, you can fly to your destination, but it may cost a lot more and limit yourself to one or two destinations (unless you are Hehe baller.) We have Nexus, so cross border travel has not been an issue for us (yet.)
