So I wanted to go to a place where you can usually find good deals. Help me decide, pick a place and vote for it please. BTW Niagara Falls is where my parents live and Edmonton is where my favourite boy is. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

But it would be awesome to wrap up and go for a walk there, then go somewhere afterwards with a log fire and some hot chocolate/mulled wine depending on your preference! -------------------- In Search Of ...........

Navigator Group: Local Expert Posts: 1367 Joined: 21-August 06 From: Southern California Member No.: 13816	I suppose Cuba might be cheaper to get to than Mexico though since you're on the East Coast. I hadn't thought of that before. That would be a cool place to visit. -------------------- ~Kit California Local Expert Visit my travel blogs: http://www.travelpod.com/members/kitkatgo
