Toronto was fun - if cold. We ended up having to stay a day longer than we wanted to as Air Canada cancelled our flight claiming 'freezing rain' was buggering up their de-icing procedures. No other airline had this problem and later flights took off on time but of course when a delay is weather related the airline doesn't have to compensate its passengers and so we were stuck with a hotel bill and a 9.15am flight home for which Judith was only waitlisted (she was the last person they allowed aboard) and which got us in far too late to meet up with Wahn Yoon and other friends for brunch.
I enjoyed Toronto, it's a cosmoplitan city with a good mix of Europe and the US but visiting did confirm just how hard it's going to be to find a place that isn't going to disappoint after New York. As we decided yesterday - if great jobs came along in Toronto we could move there for them but we wouldn't move to Toronto in search of great jobs.
Busy couple of days coming up. Monday is an all-day meeting at work followed by 'couples drinks' with Faith at her house. Tuesday sees me first at the dentist and then getting the results of my scans. Here's hoping that both go smoothly. We'll see.
I have a 100 things to catch up on here so this will be it for today. More tomorrow
