In myĀ Ģż²¹²ś“dzܳŁĢżĀ I shared with you the type of traveler that I am: the āAdven-touristā. Iām one of four types that the Scotiabank Gold American Express card is designed for, and weāre encouraging you to determineĀ yourĀ type. By doing so, youāre automatically entered to win $20,000 to spend on whatever sort of dream vacation you wish to embark on.
In myĀ Ā I shared the absolute best trip Iāve ever been on (it was a doozy), and in this third and final post Iām sharing the trip that I havenāt yet been on - the trip of my dreams. One thatād allow me to spend time taking in a great many of our provinceās towns and cities, exploring almost all of our āSuper Neighboursā in an epic āSuper, Neighboursā series which Iād share with you here on the blog.
If I were to win $20,000 to spend on travel, Iād drive my wife and son all around British Columbia for an entire month in the summer. Weād stay for a couple of nights in the best hotels and resorts in almost every major city in the province, doing a big loop. Starting in Āé¶¹“«Ć½Ó³»weād head up to Harrison Hot Springs, then back to the Number 1 and on to Hope. Weād head up the Coquihalla and spend some time in the Okanagan region; Kelowna, then Vernon, then Kamloops, then make our way North. Weād make a point of exploring 100 Mile House, near where my mother was born, then maybe stop at Williams Lake and see if there are any fish in there.
Weād then jump up to my favourite historical town in BC: Barkerville! The home of Billy Barker and many stories of the gold rush. After staking our claim weād get back onto Highway 97 and visit Prince George, before hanging a sharp left and heading back towards the coast. Burns Lake, Vanderhood and Smithers would all be visited before reaching the coastal town of Prince Rupert. From there weād hop onto a BC Ferries vessel which would take us on an overnight trip down to Āé¶¹“«Ć½Ó³»Island where weād explore the West side before making our way back to the East. Back East, weād board another ferry to Bodega Ridge Resort on Galiano Island, where weād spend a week decompressing from all the driving weād done.
THAT would be the way Iād spend a $20,000 prize as an Adven-Tourist. And, if there was any money left over in the budget, Iād open a new savings account in my 5-year-old sonās name labelled āTRAVEL FUND.ā I would encourage him to put a little of his own money into it each year, until he reached the age of 18 and used it to take his own trip of a lifetime, wherever heād see fit. While I have no doubt heād love the trip Iāve outlined here, Iād love to be able to provide him with a trip in the future that he planned on his own. Who knows, maybe heād even take me with him?
So, this is my trip, my crazy $20K adventure. Whatās yours? Time to go find out. VisitĀ Ā to learn more, to determine your travel personality, and to enter to win $20,000 to spend on the vacation of a lifetime.
