August in Toronto

Seems like I spent the entire month of August in Toronto. If it didn't before, travel on Air Canada really did seem like taking a bus...though I won't complain...flying with a flight pass does make for a more flexible and comfortable trip. My flights:

  • Aug 4 Flt AC178 from Edmonton to Toronto
  • Aug 8 Flt AC1161 from Toronto to Edmonton
  • Aug 11 Flt AC1184 from Edmonton to Toronto
  • Aug 14 Flt AC1161 from Toronto to Edmonto
  • Aug 18 Flt AC1184 from Edmonton to Toronto
  • Aug 21 Flt AC159 from Toronto to Edmonton
  • Aug 25 Flt AC1184 from Edmonton to Toronto
  • Aug 28 Flt AC159 from Toronto to Edmonton

All stays at the Toronto Marriott Eaton Centre. Random thoughts:

  • It's still surprising who you meet on the streets...even when it makes perfect sense
  • It was really nice to catch up with Krista over Japanese food. If only she'd stop breaking her mother's heart :-)
  • I've stayed a time or two at Marriott hotels, but I was still surprised when one of my rooms turned out to be a hospitality suite...that thing was so ridiculously large!
  • Mr. R. Scott sounds a lot like Mr. Arscott
  • The NFL game in Toronto was a pretty big deal with street parties and tailgates the *day before* the actual game...still wouldn't shell out the money to see a preseason game though
