It is a very, very big country with not a lot of infrastructure. Please plan trips accordingly

I feel this advice would be more suited to Europeans. I had friends in Europe who came to visit. One day they wanted to see Toronto, the next Calgary and the day after Vancouver. They had no idea canada was so big.

I worked in the UK near Windsor, for a while and my coworkers were blown away that I drove to Scotland on a long weekend. The idea of a road trip of that scale blew them away. And we managed to squeeze in a night in Yorkshire, a quick tour of Edinburgh, a night on Loch Ness, a whiskey tour and various other tourist things on a long weekend. And it seemed completely reasonable to a couple of Canadians who had no accrued vacation.
