			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Planning a trip to Canada is usually quick and trouble-free even though it requires more than patience as you wait at the border. However, many travelers these days are unsure of what is involved in crossing the border. Planning your trip to Canada requires careful preparation of what you will need. So here are some helpful tips and essential things you should bring when crossing the border.</p>
<p>The Right and Important Documents</p>
<p>Making a checklist of the important documents you will need to assure that you forget nothing before leaving home will keep your entire travel hassle-free. Place all the required documents into a single envelope so that they&#8217;ll be ready to be handed to the border patrol officer the moment you&#8217;re asked to present the supporting documents.</p>
<p>Unless you&#8217;re entering by air, you don&#8217;t yet need a passport to cross the border. However, starting July 1, 2009 you will require a passport to enter Canada when traveling on sea or land as well. For the meantime, you are expected to provide a government issued photo ID such as a driver&#8217;s license or an official proof of citizenship. For the latter, a birth certificate or a certificate of naturalization will do but not Social Security and Voter Registration cards. For children under 18 years old, any one of the following will suffice: birth certificate, citizenship card, permanent resident card, passport if he or she has one, or Certificate of Indian Status.</p>
<p>A parent who is traveling alone with his or her children should present a letter that shows the other parent&#8217;s permission to take the children out of the country as well as his or her signature and contact information. But if the parent presents legal papers stating that he or she has sole custody of the children or when the parent&#8217;s name is affirmed on the children&#8217;s birth certificate, the letter of permission can be missed out.</p>
<p>Also make sure that your vehicle&#8217;s insurance documents are with you. You might not need them at the border but you&#8217;ll certainly need them if in case your car gets pulled over for any reason.</p>
<p>Moreover, it is a wise decision to bring with you health cards for everyone joining the trip even though they are not required for crossing the border. You may also want to purchase travel insurance for just the period of time you&#8217;re out of the country. Of course, you wouldn&#8217;t like to be caught unprepared if in case an emergency happens.</p>
<p>Electronic Gadgets, Book and Food</p>
<p>Bring along an iPod or laptop wherein you can listen to music and watch a video or a book to read in order to make the traveling time pass more quickly as well as to entertain everyone especially the children and teenagers. As you get to the border, you may have to wait an hour or more before you actually enter.</p>
<p>Make sure you bring packed food or lunch just in case you would have to wait longer. Prepare some sandwiches or snacks and bring plenty of water and juices to keep you hydrated along the journey.</p>
<p>Pack Your Patience</p>
<p>Expect to be interrogated as you hand over the documents to the border patrol officer. You might be asked about your purpose in entering the country or where you came from, and so forth. Give honest and clear answers without being impolite and arrogant. Your children may also be asked a few questions like if you are his or her Mom or Dad. Don&#8217;t take offense if your car is chosen to be part of a random inspection. Be patient and even thankful that the border patrol officers are doing their job and trying to make sure that everybody&#8217;s safe.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget all these essential things and tips so that you&#8217;ll definitely have a worry-free border-crossing trip.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Indeed, Niagara Falls is one of the greatest wonders of the world attracting over 20 million visitors from all over the globe every year and having the most magnificent sights of the falls which surge strong forces of water from the Lake Erie down the Niagara River and into Lake Ontario.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not still aware, the Niagara Falls has much more to offer than the falls itself. With its entire magnificent splendor, the sight you&#8217;ll be able to see as you cross the border is packed with splendid attractions that you surely wouldn&#8217;t want to miss.</p>
<p>Getting There</p>
<p>Planning and preparing ahead makes crossing the border a lot easier so as to avoid traffic jams at the crossings. Make sure that you have with you all the important documents that are required from US visitors entering into Canada. Also be prepared to be questioned by the border officials and answer them politely and without any banter.</p>
<p>Three bridges can be accessed to cross the border. The main one is right in the Niagara Falls which is called the Rainbow Bridge. You can also enter through the Peace Bridge at Buffalo, NY or at the Lewiston Bridge to the north. There are also several available bus tours coming from all the northeastern states and arriving at Niagara Falls and Canada where most visitors usually stay for several days.</p>
<p>Opt for the best season when planning to visit the falls which is in the late April to early June in order for you to avoid the busiest part of the year. You can also go during the early fall in September to the early October or in the winter season since they are less busy and also a very romantic time for travelers.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the Difference?</p>
<p>Though they are both magnificent in nature, there are actually considerable differences between the Canadian and US side of the Niagara Falls. Both have room accommodations and restaurants but Canada offers the nicer ones. There are very good casinos on both sides as well as the opportunity to access the Maid-of-the-Mist sightseeing boats. Moreover, both have numerous shops and activities but the ones in Canada are more various and pleasant especially those that kids like the most.</p>
<p>With their People-Mover Buses system, you can travel on the Canadian side of the falls the whole day as it operates from spring to fall along a 19-mile loop with all the Niagara Parks attractions on view. Indeed, it is evident that Canadians have forced much more money, efforts, and good preparation into their side of the falls. Try to visit both sides and you&#8217;ll see that the views, tourist attractions, flower gardens, and shops are much more pleasurable in Canada.</p>
<p>Main Tourist Spots and Attractions</p>
<p>The Niagara Falls on the side of Canada offers a wide variety of tourist attractions such as gaming, restaurants, bars and clubs, and duty-free shopping. Other famous attractions here include the Maid of the Mist, Goat Island, Cave of the Winds, Marineland, Niagara Falls Winter Garden, and Fort Erie. Offering a half-hour ride, the Maid of the Mist boat tours get you into the churning waters of the falls so be ready to get wet though they&#8217;ll offer you hooded raincoats in case you forget your own.</p>
<p>Canada hosts the Niagara Winter Festival which is a prominent event for travelers who long to witness the frozen splendor of the Niagara Falls. You may also want to go to the Festival of Lights, or watch Disney&#8217;s Beauty and the Beast performance on Niagara Center for the Arts, or keep yourself amused in the Niagara Casino Hotel or Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort.</p>
<p>Definitely a destination for travelers of all ages and interests, Niagara Falls provides not only a magnificent view of the splendid waterfalls but also the amenities and attractions that every tourist will surely enjoy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vancouver is definitely a city with so much to offer for every visitor who wishes to experience the beauty of the outdoors. The entire place itself is extremely spectacular. With so many nice hotels and restaurants to choose from, the city can be explored by either merely walking or biking. Or if you want, you can take a ride to the ferry which makes your journey much easier and faster.</p>
<p>The city offers a wide range of great things to take pleasure in. Whether you wish to get active, laze around, discover new restaurants, go shopping, or enjoy the nightlife; there would always be lots of activities you can treat yourself into.</p>
<p>Enjoy the Outdoors</p>
<p>For people who love to be walk around and enjoy the site as well, Stanley Park is a great place to spend your whole day at. A 1000 acre park located in the core of downtown, the park provides a six mile boardwalk which you can explore while walking, biking, jogging, or using rollerblades.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll simply never get bored as you travel along the path and spectacular gardens because of the magnificent sights around you. Imagine the surrounding water and beaches with the mountains in the backdrop as you sit on the vivid green grass for a picnic, or while you&#8217;re playing some Frisbee or soccer. Moreover, kids will surely enjoy and play around the water park, miniature train, outdoor swimming pool, and the farmyard. Stanley Park has absolutely enough things to keep the whole family happy and busy.</p>
<p>If someone is already hungry, there are plenty of food stands easily available everywhere. One thing you shouldn&#8217;t miss as you get there are the Totem Poles which is the most recognizable landmark in the park. A trip to Vancouver will never be complete without having your pictures taken with them.</p>
<p>Eat and Shop</p>
<p>When you arrive at the end of Stanley Park&#8217;s six mile path, you will see the Lions Gate Bridge that connects Vancouver to Granville Island which can be reached through a five-minute ferry boat ride. Come there hungry and enjoy strolling around the big public market which offers fresh fish, fruits and vegetables, rows of flowers, unique mini shops, and artists&#8217; workshops for you to explore.</p>
<p>You can also visit the museums, dine at the wide selections of restaurants, watch theater productions, and just have a fun and enjoyable day. Shop around the stores and you&#8217;ll find lots of unique gifts and souvenirs. There is a &#8220;Kids Only Market&#8221; wherein the children can find almost everything they love such as toys, video games, and stuffed animals. Furthermore, Granville Island not only offers an affordable way but also an enjoyable time for you to spend some shopping in the city.</p>
<p>Adventure with Nature</p>
<p>This one you wouldn&#8217;t really want to miss. Though Capilano Suspension Bridge requires an admission fee from visitors except children under the age of 6, this is definitely one of the most beautiful and breathtaking place you will ever witness. Only minutes from downtown Vancouver, the park is located in a rainforest wherein you will hike by walking over suspension bridges that lead from one tree to the next.</p>
<p>Being this close to the nature is simply spectacular and will surely be enjoyed by the adults. While the kids will definitely love the fun and adventure that comes with exploring the forest. This kind of adventure is very much worth trying and experiencing to the point that you&#8217;ll forget about your fear of heights or the hated thought of walking over bridges suspended high in the air.</p>
<p>Indeed, a travel to Vancouver is bound to become one of your most memorable vacation experiences. The attractive outdoor scenery and the plethora of free and reasonably priced activities are what make this itinerary a much exciting one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With a population of approximately 5 million residents, Toronto is the largest city in Canada and the fifth largest in North America. The moment you enter the expansive metropolitan city with its network of connecting highways, you&#8217;ll immediately discover how big and vast this city is.</p>
<p>An exciting, lively, and very diverse city, Toronto offers its visitors a wide range of attractions that are located closely to each other and are just along the express transit lines; hence, it won&#8217;t be difficult for the people to reach them.</p>
<p>How to Get There?</p>
<p>Getting there is actually not that difficult. US residents from Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo can enter Toronto in just a few hours by car. Or you may want to reach the city through the Pearson International Airport which is considerably the busiest airport in Canada. From there, ride on an airport bus which will bring you to the Kipling subway station and then get into the eastbound train which will lead you to the center of the city.</p>
<p>If possible, try to avoid the peak and busy months of June, July, and August since accommodations in Toronto are usually hard to obtain even those of the less popular places and in the lowest price category. So don&#8217;t forget to make a reservation before you come.</p>
<p>Toronto&#8217;s Most Prominent Landmark</p>
<p>Such a marvel to behold and to consider is the CN Tower which is recognized as one of the world&#8217;s tallest freestanding structure and the most prominent and distinguishing landmark in the city of Toronto. This is definitely a must-see attraction and should be included to your itinerary especially to those who are really adventurous or just want to conquer their fear of heights.</p>
<p>Standing on the glass floor 113 stories above the ground is truly an exciting and memorable experience for everyone. And if you want, you can dine at the sky pod&#8217;s revolving restaurant or view the entire city from the two observation decks while feeling the cool breeze on your hair.</p>
<p>A Destination for Sports Enthusiasts</p>
<p>Toronto represents many sports and it would be so absurd to tell someone that you hate sports, especially hockey which is all the rage in Canada. You can easily find in the city the SkyDome which is also known as Roger&#8217;s Centre and is home to Canada&#8217;s football and baseball team.</p>
<p>Another building that caters to sports such as basketball and hockey is the Toronto Maple Leafs which is just a few walks from the tower. Local hockey fans should not fail to see the Hockey Hall of Fame wherein lots of hockey memorabilia signed by some of the most remarkable Canadian hockey players in history are on exhibit.</p>
<p>Entertainment for the Whole Family</p>
<p>Accommodating the needs of every visitor, this wonderful and enthusiastic city offers a lot of attractions such as amusement parks, water parks, zoos, and many more. Children and adults alike will be amazed with over 200 attractions, amusement rides, as well as dining and shopping that Canada&#8217;s Wonderland can provide.</p>
<p>Another great spot to go to is the Toronto Zoo which is located in a suburb of Toronto. Tourist can easily get there by car or through the public transit system. Considered as one of the largest zoo in the world, Toronto Zoo attracts more than one million visitors each year because of its interactive education and conservation activities. Furthermore, your family will definitely enjoy watching over 5,000 animals like the Polar Bears and Orcas.</p>
<p>Other popular destinations in the city include museums, art galleries, live shows, science center, beaches, and little cities such as Chinatown and Little Italy. Indeed, you&#8217;ll need more than just one trip to explore all the beauty that Toronto can give.</p>

<p><strong>Ottawa&#8217;s Major Attractions</strong></p>
<p>Being the home of Canada&#8217;s federal government, the Parliament Buildings with the superb gothic architectural design are undoubtedly the main attraction for travelers. But the Rideau Canal remains the center of interest for boaters in the summer and skaters in the winter alike.</p>
<p>Museums worth mentioning are the National Gallery of Canada and the Canadian War Museum. The former is an abode of some of the most renowned works of Canadian arts as well as the paintings created by the Group of 7. The Group of 7 is consists of famous artists who portrayed Canadian landscapes in various mediums and whose works are collected to display Canadian art.</p>
<p>The Byward Market is a popular and perfect gathering spot for those who love to shop and stroll around the cobbled streets as it offers several picturesque and cozy shops, boutiques, and cafes.</p>
<p>Sports and Recreational Opportunities</p>
<p>The National Hockey League&#8217;s Ottawa Senators and the Canadian Football League&#8217;s Ottawa Roughriders are the two professional sports team of Ottawa. But much more than sporting events, the city also offers plenty of recreational and outdoor activities such as cycling, inline skating, and hiking.</p>
<p>Moreover, the Ottawa River is presents an excellent spot for whitewater rafting, canoeing, and kayaking for the adventurous travelers. This one is definitely one notch higher; Ottawa is the home of the highest bungee freefall in Canada. It is located just outside the Gatineau Park which also offers loads of adventure to all outdoor lovers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Perhaps many people wouldn&#8217;t choose Ottawa for their next vacation trip or getaway because they think of it as a not interesting place to travel to. As a matter of fact, the city offers the tourists as well its local population plenty of great things to see and do.</p>
<p>Rich in architecture, history, museums and attractions, Ottawa comes alive with Canadian culture and houses many sporting events and activities. You will definitely love to include this place to your vacation list and experience especially if you&#8217;re through with just strolling around on the beach.</p>
<p>Ottawa is the capital city of Canada and is the fourth largest one in the country. It is part of the overall National Capital Region and is located in the province of Ontario. It is where the federal government of Canada can be found. With almost 1 million residents, Ottawa&#8217;s population is officially bilingual and all public services are available in English and French. Every year, the city welcomes over 6 million visitors who discover how Canada came into existence and how it was inhabited by British and French explorers.</p>
<p>The Ottawa Parliament Buildings</p>
<p>Ottawa has probably the biggest collection of Canadian cultural and historical sites which include national museums, government buildings, monuments, heritage structures, and official residences. All the sites and museums are very informative and interesting to every traveler who wishes to learn something new. You can visit The National Gallery of Canada, The Canadian War Museum, The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, The Royal Canadian Mint, and The Canada Aviation Museum to name a few.</p>
<p>But the most noteworthy and popular spot to visit is the Ottawa Parliament Buildings which serve as the home of the Canadian government since 1866. The Parliament Hill, or &#8220;The Hill&#8221; as local people term it, is a picturesque site lying on the banks of Ottawa River. The buildings are significantly historic and built in the Gothic Revival style. Seniors will surely appreciate the suite of buildings with its impressive layout and design rich in architectural details. Tours are very much available.</p>
<p>One of the greatest occasions to have a visit to the Parliament Buildings would be on July 1st which is the Canada Day. Lots of activities take place during this event, such as street parties, athletic shows, aerial maneuvers, live music, the RCMP Musical Ride, Changing of the Guard Ceremony, main fireworks event, and many more grand events that are really worth attending.</p>
<p>The Rideau Canal</p>
<p>Both the boaters during summer and skaters during winter will certainly take pleasure in the beauty of the Rideau Canal. Recognized as North America&#8217;s oldest and constantly operated canal system, Rideau Canal was labeled as a World Heritage site and extends 125 miles reaching the lakes and rivers of Kingston and Ontario. Interested tourists can visit the Bytown Museum which is devoted to the canal&#8217;s history and construction.</p>
<p>Being one of the most well-known recreational areas in Ottawa, the Rideau Canal offers the travelers to either enjoy a boat tour or a peaceful drive alongside. There are also pathways for those who want to walk, jog, or ride a bicycle. But the most famous aspect of the canal comes into view during winter months when it turns into the biggest outdoor ice-skating rink in the world.</p>
<p>Skates can be rented here so you don&#8217;t have to bring your own. Perhaps the grandest time to visit the Rideau Canal is during the Winterlude Festival which takes place every weekends of February. This is considered as the greatest winter celebration in North America and offers definitely fun and exciting activities for the whole family.</p>
<p>Indeed, a vacation in Ottawa will give you a constant supply of knowledge about the culture and history of Canada as well as an entertaining experience you surely wouldn&#8217;t want to miss.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When people travel out of the country, the incidence of violence, danger, and offenses usually happen. As a matter of fact, offenses against the law happen everywhere especially if the person traveling abroad is not aware of the important things to consider and the rules of that specific destination.</p>
<p>This is why it is indispensable to take into consideration some of the factors such as the necessary documents and abiding by the regulations so as to obtain a hassle-free border-crossing travel. For those who may wish to take a trip to Canada, here are some guidelines that should always be taken into account.</p>
<p>Proof of Citizenship or Identification</p>
<p>At the present, you&#8217;ll be required to have a driver&#8217;s license or any government issued photo ID and an official proof of citizenship such as a birth certificate. You&#8217;ll need these in case you don&#8217;t have a passport. However, they will be obliging everyone crossing the borders to present a valid Canadian passport starting on July 1, 2009. But for the meantime, the previous alternatives will suffice.</p>
<p>Children who are 15 years old or younger and are not traveling with both parents should present a signed letter of consent from the non-traveling parent plus a copy of documents showing legal custody. The letter should state that the child is permitted by the other parent to go out of the country and must include the contact information of the non-traveling parent. You may also want to bring a certified copy of your child&#8217;s birth certificate.</p>
<p>Be Patient and Polite</p>
<p>When you reach the border, expect a bunch of questions and interrogations from the border guards as you hand over the necessary documents. Give specific and clear answers in an audible but polite manner. Border guards are extremely professional and are just doing their job so cooperate and do not inquire as to why something should be asked or done.</p>
<p>Prohibited Items</p>
<p>Canada is not in favor of bringing endangered species or items made from endangered species as you cross over the border. Moreover, everyone coming into and out Canada is obliged to delay any fruits, vegetables, meats, or any agricultural and animal products they transport into the country. This should be firmly executed to protect the country&#8217;s agriculture, livestock, and the Canadian people from foreign diseases and pests.</p>
<p>There are actually specific items that are not permitted to enter Canada. You may want to research first on what specific products are not allowed. There are very definite rules as well as requirements to follow. For example, you are not allowed to transport a banana across the border except if it has a label on it or is still wrapped in its original packaging.</p>
<p>Likewise, carrying items such as tobacco and alcohol has a specific limit. Canada, as well as USA, is very strict with regards to rules about smuggling these products. As long as you bring a maximum of 200 cigarettes and 2 liters of alcohol, you would not need to pay any additional duties. Basically, the rule allows you to carry these items only for personal consumption and never for resale.</p>
<p>Restrictions on Guns and Firearms</p>
<p>Canada&#8217;s laws on firearms are considerably different from those in the United States. So make sure that you know the applicable laws if you are thinking of bringing your firearm into the country. Surprisingly, Canada allows adults over the age of 18 to bring firearms into the country given that they present the appropriate permits and documents. The firearms that are allowed but still subjected to strict regulations on safe transportation and storage are those guns associated to sports and hunting.</p>
<p>Indeed, planning and having a great vacation in Canada is not that daunting and difficult. As long as you know how to abide by their rules and regulations, there would not be any hassle at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The city of Winnipeg, considered as the gateway to Western Canada, lies in the junction of the Assiniboine and Red Rivers in Manitoba. Being the main meeting point for tourists and explorers through the Western Great Lakes region, Winnipeg has always been attracting many Americans to go hunting and fishing in the camps of Northern Manitoba.</p>
<p>At present, Winnipeg is gaining reputation and prominence as many travelers take pleasure from visiting this Canadian city. Not only known for being one of the most family-friendly cities in Canada because it offers plenty of things to do that gratify the whole family, Winnipeg also holds some of the most popular tourist attractions in the country.</p>
<p>The Manitoba Museum and Planetarium</p>
<p>Located at 190 Rupert Avenue, the Manitoba Museum is placed on your right as you head north on Main Street. What is great about this museum is that it provides loads of mental stimulus and motivation to virtually any age bracket. As a natural history museum and an observatory or planetarium as well, it offers an exclusive journey through the entire province of Manitoba, the globe, and the universe.</p>
<p>Moreover, it is Manitoba&#8217;s biggest heritage center which showcases both human and natural heritage subjects. The Urban Gallery represents the life of people in Winnipeg during the 1920&#8217;s and is only one among the several other exhibits and displays inside the museum. Visitors as well as the local population can enjoy the multi-purpose audio-visual quality of the Planetarium Theater that provides excellent and entertaining programs on astronomy. Get the chance to explore the night sky as observed from any place on Earth, or take a journey into space by visiting the stars, planets, and anything beyond.</p>
<p>The Manitoba Legislative Building</p>
<p>Practically anyone can visit and explore the Manitoba Legislative Building with tour guides available each hour from July 1 to the first weekend of September. This government building is thought to be designed after the temple of King Solomon in Jerusalem. In fact, a book called the Hermetic Code, which attempts to discover the hidden secrets behind the mysterious design of the edifice, has been recently published.</p>
<p>The moment you enter don&#8217;t forget to take a glance at the Pool of the Black Star and the Grand Staircase which is lined with two huge Bison sculptures. The outside contains landscaped sceneries and numerous classical elements so keep in mind to explore it as well. The Golden Boy standing proudly on top of the building&#8217;s colossal domed roof is a very unique mark that you wouldn&#8217;t want to miss. Similar to the Greek or Roman figure of Hermes, the Golden Boy holds in his arms one of the major prairie crops in Manitoba which is wheat.</p>
<p>Assiniboine Park and Zoo</p>
<p>A beautiful green spot at the center of Winnipeg, the Assiniboine Park attracts a crowd of visitors especially on a bright sunny day. You can find a playground and eatery on the area and a gift shop as well which is positioned at the entrance or exit of the zoo. The Zoo offers you a horde of animals such as polar bears, bison, lions, snow leopards and many more.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested, you can take a ride on a mini train which travels around the park. Or if you want some physical action, bring out your roller blades, Frisbee, or soccer ball and have fun in the vast green playing field. A picnic with the family and the abundant vibrant flowers around you is also a wonderful idea. Visit the English Garden and the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden if you still have time.</p>
<p>Already tired of the usual vacation and travel destinations? Try the clean and refreshing environment of Winnipeg and expand your learning while having fun as you explore the various tourist attractions in the city.</p>
