1001 Girlfriend Getaways Around the World: my dad

beyond the border

Barcelona, Spain: walk the las ramblas, eat paella, search out shops tucked away on the winding, narrow streets, tour churches, take a cruise from it's coast, drive the surrounding countryside
Alberta, Canada: Stay at the Post Hotel, visit their spa, raft the Kananaskis, horseback ride around Lake Louise
British Virgin Islands: Swim at the Baths on Virgin Gorda, search for sea glass along the beach, charter a yacht, go to Pussers for a rum speciality, visit with the locals, and stay away from full moon parties
Biarritz, France: shop the cool boutiques, buy espradrills, drink the wine, eat dark chocolate, chill on the beach, and if willing and able, surf the icy Atlantic's Bay of Biscay
