Hilton Garden Inn Toronto-Vaughan

... though.) We didn't have to wait in line for the tickets to Maid of the Mist, which was included. That was a bonus. We stopped to wander around the beautiful Niagara-on-the-Lake. And to top the day off, we went to a winery for some free wine tasting.

All in all, it was a good day.

As I will explain in more detail in my next entry after arriving in Japan, I had the misfortune of having to travel through Toronto due to some scheduling and routing problems faced by Air Canada out of Regina.

My experience at Pearson Airport in Toronto was actually quite good but the 15 hour flight from Toronto to Tokyo left a lot to be desired. Hana got to travel through Vancouver -- lucky her!

... believe the drive is only an hour and a half. I'm about to book the hotel through hotwire so I'll update you on what sort of hotel I get. I've never done it through a website like that where you don't know what you're getting until you pay for it. Should be interesting to say the least! Meanwhile I'm going to continue sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring. Cheers!Lynda

... war for there is no military with out a watr, the purpose explains itself the name of an organization explains itself. So ye have Afghan dude but know this we don't like people making us look bad or be targeted these men there are French British some east European Russian naturalized citizens who want to use our access promised to us by birth and give us a bad name, I think you should continue to take them out since I never sent them nor did ask me nor will they come back if I ...

... constant attention to tuning. It took a while, but soon we had a couple of acceptable performances from which to assemble a rhythm track, and we pronounced ourselves well pleased as we packed up for the day. It was only 4:30 and we'd stopped for lunch earlier, so all this great work had been done in just 3 hours! I was thrilled, and played the CD of the instrumental repeatedly in the car as I headed back to Kitsilano to try my luck at the Wired Monk once more. With travel time of 40 ...

... way back we stopped at Niagra on the Lake, a really quaint quiet town. That just depressed me to be honest though, the pace of life was so slow those folks might as well have been dead. Most of them were well on the way. Last night, and I apologise for the complete and utter disregard I am showing to chronology when writing this blog, but I now feel compelled to write about last night. Last night, we ate at the hostel Barbecue and sat with an Irish couple we'd met that day ...

... novels or The Simpsons? But sometimes, we really do need to answer the question for our own reasons. After all, something hooked us, reeled us in and left us flopping on the dry land of a strange new experience, and unlike the fish, we are sad when we're thrown back into the familiar water. For incomprehensible reasons, we find ourselves wanting to go back to the strange new land, as alien as it might seem at first. So I'm going back. The first ...

... dread the horror stories of friends who got mugged/robbed/fell ill while travelling. I was raring to go. I started reading travel books and websites - even started a travel planner. This was two years ago. I don't know what happened, but this summer as I walked past the student travel agency where I usually booked my ticktets to the States or my SWAP visas, I was overcome with an urge to step inside and see Kevin, my travel agent. "Where do we want ...

Humber bay park is a nice place to have a walk during the week-end. I have been there in april but I guess it is different in summer at which time people can swim in Ontari lake.

Humber bay is located in the west-south part of Toronto, after Hight park (close to Kings Mill or Jane Subway station). If you like walking you can for example start at Bloot st. west and Jane st. and walk through Etienne Brule then Kings Mill park to go in Humber bay park. It take maybe 1:30/2:00 ...

... nice thought but because the bread expands in your stomach you suddenly get very very full. Sunday went for a walk around the ethnic districts: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Little Italy, Little Portugal and had a look at Norman Fosters soon to be complete Pharmacy Building at the University and Daniel Liebskind extension to the Museum of Ontario - 3 crystals climbing over an existing neo-classical building. Its still a steel frame at ...
