Columbus Day Weekend

Columbus Day in the U.S. falls on the second Monday in October, and gives families their first long weekend break after the start of the school-year in September; many people are more than ready for a getaway by that time. Meanwhile, across the border, Canadians are having a long weekend too, for Thanksgiving.

Check out suggestions in New England, London England, Whistler-Blackcomb BC, and more Columbus Day Weekend getaway ideas.
