Hi SimonB,
I lived in Toronto for a year a long time ago. Went back for a visit not long ago, and couldn't believe how much it's all grown. One of my best friends moved from Oakville to Barrie about 3 years ago, (they are in the Subway business).
I sure don't miss the weather. After a year in Toronto, I moved to Buffalo!!!! I now spend my time between South Georgia and San Pedro! But I do miss the wonderful people. I worked in Niagara Falls as a tour guide for several years (yes, the "little waterfall" as it's often referred to by my Canadian friends).
Would love to meet you sometime when you are in San Pedro. Stop by Caribe Island and say HI!
Cheerz,
Vicki
