Long Weekend Trip Suggestions?
 
So my holiday entitlement runs from October-September, and as such I have one long weekends worth of days left to take off, which i've tentatively booked for the last weekend in September :)

Looking for some suggestions as to places to do a bit of sightseeing that won't totally break the bank!

I'm going to Toronto next June to meet up with my parents, so that's that one crossed off the list

Considered going to Vancouver, is there much to do around this time? Would probably be without a car too, so walking distance attractions would be preferable! Although I wouldn't be adverse to driving over to Vancouver and doing some stops along the way if it's worth it :)

Anywhere in the states worth going to for just the weekend that would be cheap for accommodation/flights?

Define cheap and for how many people/days? Driving to Vancouver cheaper than flying.

probably myself, and ideally less than $1000

Vegas! totally slipped my mind, doubt it'd be cheap though :lol:

Accommodation and food are usually very good value once you get down there. Good Autumn weather, swimming, it can be nice. And put a few hundred on black and you'll definitely end up making money on the trip!
