Hi there!!


Thought I 'd drop a quick post to say I am planning a trip to Toronto 25th October this year!!! Can't wait as I've always wanted to go to Canada!!

Can anyone give me ideas on best place to stay, the 3 options i have are Days Inn, Delta Chelsea and Bond Place??

Also looking for ideas on what to see and do.

TIA

Lesley

Welcome!

We'll have to get a meet together when you arrive.

Personally, I would stay at the Delta. Good Location for Downtown.

There is lots to see and do, depending on your interests.

You can check out www.toronto.com to start with!

Of those three, I would choose the Delta. Try going to www.gettotoronto.com for more ideas. Toronto is a very cool city. I lived there for 7 years. Have fun!

I have family in Glasgow (Newton Mearns) and they have been coming to Canada to see us for about 10 years now and they love Toronto the most! I'm sure you'll love our country and in Toronto there are so many theatres,clubs and most of all tons of great shopping to be had!
Happy planning!

Hey guys thanks for your kind replies, but I mean honestly how many people in Canada have lifelines going back to Scotland, I mean who lived in Canada before scots came over (no seriously I am asking) I honestly (hand on heart) want to know. I love it for the following: Maple leafs, maple syrup, Michael J Fox, Mike Myers, Celine Dion, Blue Jays, Bears - real live ones! aawwhh,
mounties, the whole french-canadian thing(?) so desperate to see it.

any scoot cant wait

PS will it be cold November ?

pps - absolutely no disrespect intended!

Well before my Mother and Grandmother....and other fellow Scotsmen came to Canada there were (and still is) relatives of my DH.....he is a full status Indian (Mohawk/Delaware)!

PS: It will be pretty chilly here in Nov.

I have a Clan card! LOL! I've been to Glasgow myself in 1999 - got off the train accidentally at Maryhill, 70 lbs backpack and all and I was walking down the street until a super nice guy walked me back to the station and put me back on the train explaining I was most certainly in the wrong spot.


I live in and work in downtown Toronto, I rarely leave or venture north of Bloor Street (too far north!) unless completely leaving town.

Although not on your list, but worth checking out for accomodations:
Royal York
King Edward
Old Mill Inn

Things to do and See:
CN Tower
Royal Ontario Museum
Art Gallery of Ontario
Hockey Hall of Fame
Distillery District
Bata Shoe Museum

Where to eat:
Sultan's Tent - Cafe Moroc is in the front, Sultan's Tent in the back...
Kit Kat Italian Bar & Grill
Canoe
Big Daddy’s Crab Shack & Oyster Bar
Milestone’s Grill & Bar (at Richmond and John Street)
Le Saint Tropez
The Red Tomato


November will be a bit chilly, yes.

Hope this helps!

Will you have transportation during your stay? If so, do try to see Niagara Falls. And given when you are going, I think that there is nothing like seeing the McMichael Collection in Kleinburg during the fall.
