5 Days in DC ... on the Cheap!

A view of Congress from the Canadian Embassy rooftop
I love this city; its monuments, history and air of mystery... There are more spies per captia here than anywhere in the world and the entire town exudes the gravitas befitting a capitol. You feel the importance, the power, everywhere you go. It is also a vibrant place, full of culture and local colour. There's great, fresh seafood, interesting theatre, world-class museums and excellent live music venues. It's walkable, too.

But there is one thing I really
don't like about DC - It is EXPENSIVE.

Even my corporate rate for hotels falls somewhere above $200 per night, and you don't want to be caught in this town without funds. Luckily, I am an expert at finding good deals. Even luckier, I'm going to share my secret gems on this blog.


So, here's how to do a week in Washington, DC on the cheap.

Tofino & Ucluelet, British Columbia: May 22 - 28, 2011


Where we gorged on the stunning beauty of BC's coast, encountered marine life in its natural playground, tasted the best fresh seafood Canada has to offer, dipped our toes into ancient hot springs while icy waves lapped our ankles, found sanctuary (and affordable luxury) at Pacific Sands Resort and hiked through thousand-year old forests.
