I guess it depends on what you are used to. My kids (9 and 5 at the time) had been raised in a small town in rural Cheshire, and had never even been on an escalator until a couple of months before we moved here, for them there was more downtown than they could handle.

$100 more than the Chelsea though

Are you coming on May 2nd??

I hope so but planning is not a strength of this household. Ask me at 4pm on that day.

I'm a fan of impromptu too.

I doubt that, but even if true, across the road staggering rather than half way up Yonge Street staggering would be worth that much and more.

Definitely gutted not to be making this one - Husband would have liked to have joined as well. Definitely hoping to make the next one though... late June perhaps? Before the summer kicks off and schedules go bonkers.

Well I did the comparisons. I looked at booking the Novotel and the cheapest was $218 plus taxHotwire was $120 plus tax for the Eaton. Walk-in rates are usually more.

The Eaton is handy for the AGO so I am content with the booking.

And we are happy that you are coming!

This newbie to Canada hopes to be there.

Have you moved in with your daughter?

Looking forward to meeting you.

Not quite...we are 7 floors above. It's her husband's fault...he emailed me when a unit became available. We were looking at alternative buildings.

Thanks...I look forward to meeting you and the rest of the gang.

Oh forgot...I am dragging hubby along too.

Hey Jerseygirl, I think we pretty much walk past your place to get to the yard. At least we'll be able to stagger home together.

I'll be there , Ben may or may not be. I may or may not be consuming alcohol. Just in case anyone cares

Looking forward to meeting you Zoe.

I wouldn't get too excited , I'm inevitably a disappointment

I am super sad to be missing this - so many people posting that I'd love to meet!! Booooo.

Hope you guys all have a great time, hopefully I will be able to make the next one!!
