This plan trip will cost from around US $4628- $6108. I will have $30,000 for this vacation. I will stop at each place for a month and a half, which is 6 weeks each. All together would be exactly a year. The places listed below will be in the order I travel in.

Canada- Ottawa, Ontario

Points of interest I will see- The Rideau Canal, Canada Science and Technology Museum (Adults-$6.00), Canada Dance Festival (Adults- $16)

The Rideau Canal is 126 miles long. It links Lake Ontario at Kingston and the Ottawa River. It was a significant place because it used to be a secure supply line between Upper and Lower Canada in case Americans cut trade along the St. Lawrence River. Now, it is a playground for kids to skate in the winter and for boaters in the summer.

The Canada Science and Technology Museum is Canada's largest science and technology museum. This museum is suitable for all ages and I get to discover some of the most important scientific objects in Canada.

The Canada Dance Festival includes exciting dance performances by break dance acrobatics and hip hop dancers. It is a chance to see some of Canada's best DJs and MCs on the stage.
