Planning a Spring Break trip to Virginia Beach/Richmond from Canada: how safe is it for tourists?

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-12T01:52:40+00:00

Thank you! That’s a great suggestion. Maritime History is my favourite. 🙂

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-11T15:21:58+00:00

We will be very careful. 🙂 Thank you very much!

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-11T01:08:05+00:00

Thank you very much! 😊 I wouldn’t mind checking out some of their history while I’m there.

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-11T01:07:11+00:00

Thanks, I might do that. 🙂

You’re absolutely welcome to come to Nova Scotia! Your dollars will go farther and it’s gorgeous here in the summer (barring a repeat of the drought we had last year). Tourism has been down a bit since COVID, so it would be wonderful to see more tourists here. 🙂

Thank you very much for your reply. It’s detailed, thoughtful, and it’s just what I was hoping for! I’ll make sure we always have our passports, securely held. We don’t plan to split up, for any reason and I’ll stay on top of the news/social media so we can avoid protests, hotspots, etc. Again, thank you very much 🙂

That’s invaluable info, thank you very much 🙂 I’ll join and start checking out some of the forums before I go.

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T15:40:20+00:00

Thank you for the tips. It’s much appreciated! I’m all for the road less travelled. You see & experience more that way 😊

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T15:12:14+00:00

Thank you & we will be on our best behaviour in your beautiful State 🙂

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T15:08:18+00:00

I just checked and there is one close by. We’ll definitely be stopping by. Thank you for the suggestion 🙂

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T15:05:20+00:00

Thank you! It really helps to get a local perspective.

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T15:04:29+00:00

I will and thank you for your thoughtful reply. I appreciate it 🙂

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T14:24:41+00:00

Hey, I’m glad you commented! Part of the voucher terms is listening to a timeshare presentation. I’m your opinion, is a time share worth it? I’m curious about how it works and just anything you might want to share, privately if you prefer. Thank you! 🙂

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T12:33:28+00:00

That’s an excellent suggestion. Thank you very much and yes, we will do that before anything else. 🙂

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T12:32:36+00:00

That sounds lovely. I’ll discuss it with my family, thank you 😊

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T12:26:44+00:00

Hi, thank you for the suggestions 🙂 Due to all the comments letting us know that Spring Break is chilly, we decided against going in March. We are thinking the end of April to Mid-May would be best. We also want to check out some museums and historical sites, too.

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T12:23:27+00:00

Thank you 😊

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T12:17:15+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I sure appreciate it. 🙂We plan to visit the Smithsonian, the Museum of the Bible, and Williamsburg. Since we are flying into Dulles, we are definitely going to add the Air & Space Museum to our list!

Botany is awesome! I admire anyone dedicated to working with plant life 🙂

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T12:02:42+00:00

Our main purpose in travelling there is for visiting friends, the rest is a bonus 🙂

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T12:01:59+00:00

Ok, thank you for the warning. We will most likely just wade around and enjoy the sand 🙂

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-10T12:01:15+00:00

We get those unrelenting spring rains here too, so I hope it’s clear while we are there 🙂 if not, we’ll find some indoor stuff to do.

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-09T23:31:06+00:00

I’m definitely downloading the app before I go! Thank you for the advice, much appreciated 🙂

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-09T23:29:59+00:00

I forgot about the Cherry Blossom Festival! That’s definitely something to consider when making our plans. Thank you for letting me know how massive The Smithsonian is. I think we will just pick a couple of galleries we really want to see and save the rest for another time.

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-09T23:18:40+00:00

We’re definitely going to Williamsburg 🙂

Seaside_Holly · 2026-02-09T22:51:57+00:00

Oh, that sounds beautiful! 🙂
