Canadian Vacations Discounted
Attempts to lure Americans across into Canada this summer are resulting in good deals even for Canadians. Several offers are listed at the above link, and U.S.-based travel agents might also know of other offers. Here are a couple of good ones:

$485 -- The 3 nt Marvellous Montreal package from Boston-based Yankee Holidays includes hotel, two dinners, tours, all taxes and meal gratuities.

2-for-1 -- United Vacations is offering 2-for-1 flights to various Canadian destinations when a vacation of 3 nights or more is booked at a Fairmont hotel. (This can even be combined with Fairmont's aforementioned free-night offer.) Of course, this means flying out of the U.S., but the $500 in savings may make it worthwhile.

$182 -- The "Re-energize Yourself in the Outaouais" package includes a $25 gas credit, two, three or four nights at a choice of local hotels, and free admission to a wide array of local attractions, including the Omega wildlife park in Montebello and the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa.
