Most popular cities for celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving
Monday, known in the United States as the Columbus Day holiday, holds another name in Canada - Canadian Thanksgiving, which means that this is a three-day weekend throughout much of North America.Thus, Hotwire has compiled the most popular cities for celebrating, based on both room nights booked and total price.
"While Thanksgiving means family time to many, others see this three day weekend as an opportunity to pack a few overnighters and take a short leisure trip to a big city," said Clem Bason, President of the Hotwire Group. "With popular Canadian cities seeing a dip in business travel over the holiday and the Canadian dollar nearly on par with the US dollar, there are deals abound in both Canada and the US. Travelers should take advantage of the Thanksgiving weekend discounts, and it looks like many of them already are."

Sadly, these trends don't extend to airfare - flying this weekend appears to be expensive!
