Preliminary Travels

We decided to fly Air Canada out of Toronto as they offered the best ticket price. Beautiful day for a drive north, a quick bite to eat, and a shuttle trip to the airport. The hotel garaged the car and reserved a room for the day of our return, some fourteen days hence.




Crossing over the Niagra River on the Peace Bridge.
Jammed up coming into the U.S. from Canada. We breezed through going the opposite way.

We didn't want to count on the "airplane food" so got a quick meal at a nearby restaurant. Seeing the calories listed for each menu item totally changed what I decided to order. Can't pretend when it is right in front of you.

 This beautiful flower wall was tended by our waitress.






















And we are off to our gate at Toronto airport to begin our first trip "across the pond."
