My first trip to Toronto was few years ago in late December when I was able to snatch a cheap round-trip flight from the small town Hagerstown regional airport to Toronto (via Pittsburgh). It was cold and cold. I think I will like more and more Toronto as I have reasons to visit now. Here are few memories of the trip.... read more

Well we made it to Canada just about in one piece. After an 8 hour flight we finally found our first hostel, The Planet Traveller, although we did have to ask a couple of locals for directions!!! Jet lag took its toll on us and we were in bed by 8:30 on Sunday night. After a very unsettled night we got up on Monday morning ready to explore Toronto and the surrounding areas.

After over three weeks of Mexican quisine we were definetly ready to dig into the Thai curry and lemon pie Katie had ready for us when we arrived. The next day Ken set us up with bikes and we went to the island, hung out on the clothing optional beach for a bit (sorry no pics) then cycled around. Later we met Jeremy downtown for dinner and refreshments.... read more
