| 3 Day trip recommendations?
It's been awhile since I last went on a trip with my girlfriend.
We've been to Seattle, Vegas, and Victoria so far..
I can't think of anymore places to go with 3 day limitation, hope you guys can help me out.
I dont mind driving, or flying as long as its worth it within the time frame.
Thanks guys.  |

you should drive to Cannon Beach in Portland, I took the g/f a couple years ago and the drive was great and the beach down there is awesome. It's a neat little village and they have some real neat resturants there.
They filmed part of the movie Point Break there and it's famous for there Haystack rock they have there.

Depends on what is worth it to you, I have done all kinds of 3-5 day trips.
Driving distance from Vancouver:
Portland
- Gorgeous city
Okanagan wine country
- Wine, need I say more?
Sunshine coast
- rent a cabin!
Flying:
San Fran
- 2.5hr flight
- 3 days is enough, yet you'll want to go back
Hawaii
- you can fly there as cheap as Vegas if you find the right deal
- yet its a 6hr flight
- Big Island is a great 3 day trip
Calgary
- Stampede is coming up
Ottawa
- 4 hr flight
- Canada day in the capital cannot be beat!
Montreal
- 4hr flight
- Jazz festival is fun, too bad the F1 race is not there anymore

Jay, it's a nice drive up to Kelowna about 3 hours depending on how fast you want to go. Ask your bro, he went up in my mustang back in the day. Check out the wineries, rent a seadoo. I have stayed at the days inn a couple of times and it was nice.

Worse case, there is the Okanagan grand hotel which is more money. The days inn is right by the park where the Kelowna grass Triples and R2's grass vball tourney is held on Canada day.
You might want to check out this site to get a free travel guide for B.C. Has stuff for the Okanagan as well. http://view.dm.tourismbc.com/?j=fe67...7d6500747d1679
