Vacationing in Bowmanville

I was looking at hotels online and decided to look into a vacation in Bowmanville, Ontario. Unfortunately, there's only one hotel advertised on expedia.ca, and it seems a little pricey.

$73.33 for a 1-and-a-half star hotel?

I'm looking at 3-stars in Beijing for half that price. What's the deal?

On the other hand, who wants to see the Great Wall or Tiananemen Square when you can see...

NEARBY POINTS OF INTEREST:

Downtown Bowmanville - 1 km (0.5 mi)
Lake Ontario - 1.5 km (1 mi)
Bowmanville Zoological Park - 5 km (3 mi)
Jungle Cat World - 16 km (10 mi)
Mosport International Raceway - 20 km (12.5 mi)
Cullen Gardens - 29 km (18 mi)

You can even fly through the following airports...

Toronto Buttonville Airport (YKZ): Approximate driving time to the Howard Johnson Bowmanville is 46 minutes and distance is 69 km (43 mi).

Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ): Approximate driving time is one hour, 11 minutes and distance is 85 km (53 mi).

  • That is a little ridiculous, especially considering how much the Cdn dollar's worth these days. I'd say the hojo people would be ripping you off. Negotiate a deal. We're apparently allowed to do that now. Ever negotiated a price in a mall store in the GTA? It's just as fun as it sounds. But only when there's a line of 20 people waiting behind you.

  • Oh, it's Grace. How dissapointing.

    I was hoping for a celebrity or something.

    And also.... This is the HOJO price for January 1st, the day I'll be in Beijing... it might not be this expensive all year round.

  • Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
