Travel Adventure ~ Ooooh Canada!

First visit to Canada this Feb 2013. Went to Toronto.

Plane ride was Great!! Tiny plane.. Note to self ~ if I go again, I'll bring ear plugs:) Still smooth flight & I enjoyed the little plane with big propellers:)

I like looking at all those dials, switches, gauges, cool

Leaving Richmond, Virgina

Canada

Right when I got off the plane, it was clear Toronto is an incredibly diverse city!! Was really very cool to see such a diverse population and hear different languages every few minutes.

No shortage of different cuisines to try out. Oh and they had Starbucks and pizza if you don't like to try anything different:) I enjoyed seeing one day of snow in Toronto.

Nice view from the work location. Of course, I had coffee. This day we had Vietnamese.
I had heard about it, but discovered for myself that there were tunnels that connected building so you didn't even have to go outside if you didn't want to... could just use the tunnels and go to other shops and restaurants. They have a subway system there, too.


Here's me going grocery shopping for dinner.
Here's one of the underground grocery stores.

Next day, coffee, work, nice view. Had a shawarma plate for lunch.

I'm at the blue dot.. was looking at the map to see Virginia, my home for now, before I went to sleep:)
If I return to Toronto ever again, I'll make time to see Niagra Falls.

Last morning in Toronto - ready to return to Virginia.

Magazine on the flight from Toronto to Chicago. Good reminder of where I need to be:)
Met some great people who were headed or live in Chicago on the flight. Good peeps:)

Snowy exit out of Chicago, but these pilots got us up smoothly and on my way to Richmond.

LOVE landing .. there's just something magical about that moment.. just before the wheels touch the ground.. I just LOVE it.... Every time.
