Visiting Toronto for the first time

[Auryn]

The seminar unfortunately is at the holiday inn express at the airport.

I used the awesomely handy trip calculator on the transit authority website- to get to the autograph signing I would have to spend almost 2.5 hrs on public transportation.

I am looking into renting a car

Sadly we are one of the few metropolitan cities that has no direct transit link to the city centre.  The issue appears in every mayor and government election platform but, as you see, nothing has been done.  Renting a car is a good option.  Where is the signing?

[Auryn]

The signing is at Indigo Manulife Centre-55 Bloor Street West-Toronto, at a place called Indigo
From what I can tell this is a book store.
this is the link for the location http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/home/storeLocator/storeDetails/280/

its 2-5 pm- I called the store and they suggested to be there no later than 1 pm.
I just booked the car.
Hopefully I will be able to get to the location driving by my self- definitely going to take the gps.

Anyone want to meet there???

Auryn... I haven't been able to reach Aelynn all week, sadly, but I will keep trying.  I am also sadly not available for family reasons.  But I do wish  you a safe journey and a fun time in Toronto.  All of the best and stay warm....you will possibly see snow even.

Hey Auryn

A lot of things have been happening since we last chatted and I haven't gotten back to this....

So!!!! how did you like Toronto?

[Auryn]

OH I absolutely ADORED Toronto.
If it didn't turn into the artic tundra in the winter I would move there in a heart beat.

I didn't get to see anywhere near as much as I hoped but what I saw I loved.

I have already told my beloved that we will be visiting Toronto together in the next year- preferably in the spring or fall.
I didn't get to do any museums but we walked all over China town, went to a dozen different thrift shops and veggie markets just a few blocks away (can't remember the exact name).
Walked all over Queen Street to see all the holiday windows.

Loved it to say the least.
I will definitely be coming back to Toronto.
