Recce Trip
 
Hi, This is my first post to this site. My hubby and I are considering moving to Canada within the next 5 years and are at the moment planning a recce to Canada later this year starting in Vancouver and travelling across to the East Coast. Does anybody have any suggestions/advice as to which are the best places to visit across the country to give a bit of a general feel to each territory so as to be able to plan a more in depth visit later on. We visited Vancouver and Vancouver Island in 2006 and I fell in love with Canada then. Any travel tips and advice greatly appreciated. Also if anybody has any tips on cheap flights that would be fantastic. Thanks in advance.

Are you driving across from Vancouver or spending time in Van and then hopping on a plane to the East Coast?

How many weeks will you be traveling? From coast to coast, with stops/viewing along the way, you should plan at least four weeks, if driving. Most people underestimate how large the country is.
