... Canoe Club – Probably the most prestigious and exclusive club in Canada where you have to be a prominent financial figure just to gain entrance. Most patrons are "Traders" and everybody LOUDLY talks money, markets, insurance, mortgages or mergers. And it’s pricy – drinks start at $8.50; meals start at $51.00. It cost us $32 for three drinks.

Why is it so difficult to find a place to park in downtown Toronto? Or at least why is it so difficult to find a 'safe' place to park in Toronto. You spend $20 for the privellege of abandoning your car in a street corner dirt covered car park with no security. The ...

... Visas. With extra time to spend, I was able to stop in at Coop Mountain Equipment and pick up a few more necessities. I was able to get 2 sleeping bag liners, a water proof cover for Bill's pack (thanks TT), a quick dry towel, hiking socks for Bill and some travel containers. Meanwhile, in Windsor, Bill was loading up on some other supplies. We now have a super light, kick-butt camcorder (Sony DCR-SR67, 60x optical zoom and 80G HDD), and extra batteries and ...

... than I thought, and after years of travelling with a huge 140-litre bag I had completely misjudged how much I could fit in my 80-litre backpack. Even though I had only slept 5 and 4 hours the two last nights I wasn't read at all when the time came, and I ended up in complete panic the morning of my flight. Finally my neighbour Antonia, who was going to drive me to the airport, told me that it was either the flight ...

... around. I was admiring all the nice garden areas and then smack bang in the middle there is this kiddy amusement park thing - quite odd and "amusing"! I found a beach area and had a nice walk along the beach picking up the smooth little pebbles, even though I didn't really know why I was collecting them. Walked up to another beach section and sat down for a while and got myself a wet bum from the damp sand. Then got rid of my collected pebbles...???? Eventually found the ...

So.....the preparations began many months ago.  The house secured, ferry schedules reviewed, booked, and modified again.  Who would have thought that a simple trip to Martha's Vineyard would require such advance planning. The initial details involved a lot of e-mails back and forth with our travel companions, The Wongs.  They were in the midst of relocating from Boston to New York City, and dealing with the family vacation in February was most likely the last thing on their minds ...

... at home! but apparently the rest of canada isnt as expensive as toronto. Tuesday we went up the cn tower which is pretty cool, great views of the whole city was a bit cloudy but could see most of it and we got plenty of pics. wednesday was a bit messy ended up in the local pub watching the england game with lads from the hostel. they werent showing it on the tv but we got it streaming on the hostel dudes laptop, i thoroughly ...

... the wonderul Mundell clan. Then it was time to say goodbye to everyone after our all too short visit to Canada. We were both treated like royalty throughout our time there and are both anxious to spend more time in the future with our wonderful Canadian family. Mike and Linda kindly drove us all the way back to Toronto for our 8pm flight out to London. We stopped for a great final meal together at a Keg Restaurant near the airport where I decided on spicy ...

... I'll post our photos and, if possible, vid during the trip. Like many Canadians, I've got this idea that there won't be any computers, let alone Internet access, in Central Europe. I picture mostly cathedrals and sheep for some reason. I think I'm about to be pleasantly surprised! Wish us luck, and keep Czeching this site for more thrills. Crave

Hight Park is a nice place to have a walk and take a break. It is close to downtown. The park stretches south from Bloor st. West to the Queesway (subway station : Hight Park or Keele <br><br>I have visited the park in winter but it may be cutest in spring or summer. <br ...
