Now that your vehicle is all ready for a
road trip, you can start planning out where you want to travel. Because so many
Canadian communities are close to the US border, the US is a popular tourist
destination for its convenience, luxurious accommodations, and the interesting
products that you may not readily find in Canada. When you are traveling, you
should always check the currency exchange rates of the Canadian dollar to plan a realistic budget of how much you'd like to spend each day.
Vacationing in the USA can be very expensive because the property taxes are
high on hotels and other places of accommodation. For better currency exchange rates, you may want to consider a trip to Europe, Latin America,
or Asia.

Vermont
Many Canadians like to travel to Vermont in the springtime because
it is nearby to Quebec, Montreal, and Ontario. The water park at Jay Peak is a
popular destination for families to have fun when it is hot out. People also
like to go to the spring-fed lake called Lake Willoughby. It offers exceptional
hiking trails, a nudist beach, and calm crystal-clear waters that you can peer
through right to the bottom. It is located in the Northeast Kingdom and worth
the stop when it is hot out.
Burlington,
Vermont, is also a popular tourist destination for many Canadians. The
Church Street Marketplace and cozy waterfront attracts thousands of tourists a
month. You can shop in quaint little cafes or visit the City Market to buy the

problematic because parking is impossible in some areas. It is best to park
your car and take a train if you are lucky enough to find a free spot. Pay
