The Eastern Canada road trip we still talk about

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

If you are looking for a great summer road trip, this Toronto to Quebec City route, exploring Eastern Canada, is one of the most memorable trips we’ve taken.

You can find our complete trip itinerary in the link above, but here are some of my favorite highlights.

At Niagara Falls, taking a cruise right to the base of the falls and seeing the water crashing down from that close really was an amazing experience. We also stayed in a hotel room overlooking the falls, and loved watching them light up at night.

The views from Toronto's CN Tower were cool, and the Parliament building in Ottawa was beautiful.

In the Thousand Islands region, we took a scenic boat cruise through hundreds of tiny islands. Some of them were so small that they had just one house on them, which was fascinating to see.

Montreal was another highlight. The city has a strong French influence and a lively atmosphere, and we loved wandering through the historic streets of Old Montreal and along the Old Port.

But the place that completely stole my heart was Quebec City. The Fairmont Le Château Frontenac looks straight out of a fairy tale, and Old Quebec has some of the prettiest streets in the world.

Our stay at this small boutique hotel, Hotel Du Vieux Quebec, in Old Quebec made the visit even more special, with the warmest service and a perfect location for exploring the cobblestone streets of Old Quebec. I have never remembered a hotel stay more fondly than this one! I honestly can’t wait to go back again to Quebec City.

The Bean in Chicago

Hi Reader! Chicago had been on my travel wish list for years, and I finally got the chance to visit this spring on a weekend getaway with friends. ➡️ My first trip to Chicago: 2 day itinerary After spending two full days exploring the city, one thing stood out to me: Chicago got the downtown right.

Hi Reader! Have you been to Hawaii before? One thing I didn't expect before visiting Hawaii was how different each island would feel. People often talk about "going to Hawaii" as if it's a single destination, but after visiting Oahu, Big Island, and Maui, I can tell you they each have their own personality, landscapes, and attractions. If you're trying to decide where to go, here's how I think about the three islands we've visited. Oahu ➡️ Oahu Itinerary for 5 to 7 Days Hanauma Bay - popular...
