where's the biggest bang for your buck? The Canadian dollar is still 65¢ to $1 US. Awesome road and mountain biking too.

And contrary to popular beleif, the PNW is not "rainy". The coastal PNW is, as are the Cascades at time, but the PNW is more than a strip of rainforest going up the coast.

I'd vote for a USA/PNW road trip. Road bike, mountain bike, see the national parks, go camping....(St Helens, N Cascades, Rainier, Glacier, Yellowstone...)
