Hit The Road!

Take a Road Trip...Find some fun ideas in this article.

(NC)—Hitting the open road with friends or family is a fun and inexpensive way for Canadians to get in some much needed vacation time.

Here are some ideas for a variety of road trips that suit any budget:

Girls Just Want to Have Fun!

Reconnect with your past by calling some old friends and arranging to take an actual trip down memory lane to your old town or neighbourhood. Great music is a must-have, and satellite radio is the perfect solution to fighting over the CD or MP3 player. It provides a constant signal no matter how far you may roam and offers a wide selection of commercial-free music stations. Sirius Satellite Radio helps keep the party going with everything from Cosmo Radio (fun, fearless female!) to 80s hits.

Keep it Cool – Without the Kids!

Many people may think “family” when it comes to road trips, but taking a drive with your significant other can be a very romantic adventure, too! Instead of filling your back seat with little ones, pack up your camping gear and a cooler full of your favourite goodies and visit some of Canada's beautiful provincial parks for some well deserved couple time. Or plan a simple bed and breakfast tour across the country and stay in some of Canada's most interesting and beautiful homes. For the perfect soundtrack for a long romantic drive, couples can listen to the smooth tunes of Sirius Love or the relaxing spa-like sounds of Chill.

Boys Will Be Boys

Pack up the sports gear and hit the park –or the football field! What better way to enjoy some guy time than through an all-sports road trip to the hometowns of your favourite teams. Imagine tailgating at a stadium with other fans who share your sports obsession, while bonding with your buddies at the same time. Bring along a Sirius radio with a “Game Alert” feature to ensure everyone can listen to live play-by-play and keep track of the scores on the road.
