Road trip!

In the summer of 2009, my brothers and I went on a trip to USA and around Canada. To maximize our trip and minimize our costs, we took the family car instead of flying. 

We went on a road trip to the east coast of USA. We stopped at many places for sightseeing and visitation purposes such as New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Virginia, Boston, Washington, and Pennsylvania. On our way back to Halifax, we stopped by Niagra Falls, Toronto, Ontario, and Montreal. My dad wanted us to tour around Canada, get to know the country and the culture in different provinces. It was an adventure!

When we were deciding what places we wanted to visit we naturally picked what peaked our interests, as well as those where we had friends and relatives. Having a free stay was very important to us because we were spending our own money and of course as students, we had a tight budget. (Note, we of course wanted to see all of them and the free stay was just a bonus to us). Another reason why we wanted to travel was to shop. Things were much cheaper, had more variety, and had no tax in some states!

In comparison to our last visit prior this, they had even bigger shopping places filled with new stores and designer labels, which made us very much pleased. 

I cannot wait to go back!
