Of course, your theory is sound and I cannot disagree in any way. But I literally booked flight/hotel/car last night and did not observe appreciable differences in cost for exactly the same trips in September and November 2014. The differences will arise with food/activity/outlet mall expenditures, but these costs are what you make them to be. Food will be a killer. But other expenses like golf and shopping are a wash - the deals won't be as good as a year ago, but it's still comparable to here. $60USD dress pants from nordstrom rack is still cheaper than the same pair at $150CAD at chinook nordstrom.
