We live in beautiful Kearney Lake, 15 minutes from downtown Halifax. My husband and I love to be tourists in our own city. One of our favourite outings is eating outside at one of the many restaurants with outside seating. After that we head to Neptune for an always superb show. We then head to the waterfront walk to the casino where we will stay for awhile then head through the catwalk and spend the night at the Delta. Perfect day/evening in the wonderful city of Halifax. -Janice MacKay, Halifax

My husband and I just moved to New Brunswick from Alberta, and this would be JUST perfect. Wine tours, hiking, beaches, history, gardens, to explore the city, dining, festivals, museums, theatre, culture, music, art, shopping, sights and sounds of Halifax would be a DREAM to win this and I can't wait to win!! WHAT A SURPRISE FOR MY HUSBAND!! and this lonely Alberta girl!! -Laurel Myles, Salisbury

Romance and adventure rolled into one. Stop into one of our fantastic food to go spots in Halifax - Jane's on the Common, Pete's Frotique, Farmer's Market to name just few. Grab a wine for two from Bishop's Cellar. Pack it into a picnic friendly package and head to Portugese Cove. A walk along the water's edge to a private ocean view spot where whales play and container ships pass by. Unpack the picnic,toast our beautiful province and let the adventure begin! -Cindy James, Halifax

A perfect staycation for me would involve a stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites at Dartmouth Crossing, a gift certificate for Sushi Nami for two people, then a walk through the Public Gardens followed by a walk on the Halifax Waterfront for dessert at Sugah ice cream and back to Dartmouth Crossing for a movie at Empire Theatres afterwards stopping for a beer or two at Moxie's Grill. -Carmen Baker, Dartmouth
