    I'm going camping..

    I don't like doing "hotel" trips on long weekends, as the rates are always jacked up and traveling the borders/major highways is a bitch.

    Fernie and Waterton are good alternatives to Banff/Canmore.

    San Francisco is good for a longer weekend, and YYC-SFO flights are usually some of the cheapest around. Much better city than Seattle or LA.

    I just got back from Chicago and it's another good one for a longer weekend, with not too long of a flight.

    If you ever wanna try something different, give Portland a shot. Awesome city with fun, unique nightlife!

    I would say about 13hrs, going 10-20 over the limit lol. If you make it to downtown Portland checkout Ground Kontrol!

    Just had a weekend in kalispel, good roads and cheap beer. About 5 hours to get there. The road to the sun is closed unfortunately but I didn't have the rs4 so it's ok.

    Side note I brought back 3 12 packs and a 18 pack of beer and they didn't charge duty why?
