I got to the airport in Saskatoon at about 5:00 a.m. on Monday morning. I had went to bed around midnight and was up by 4:00 in the morning. I kept waking up every 1/2 hour because I was too scared too sleep in. After I got my boarding pass, I went straight to Tim Hortens to grab myself a much needed coffee. I stood in line to get through the security check and when I finally got to gates, I was told that I could not take my coffee past security check! How rude is that! After grumbling and sipping a 1/4 of my coffee, I threw it away. I pray to the Coffee Gods for forgiveness! I went through the security check all right, but they went through my carry-on bag and threw away my hairspray, mousse, and thermal spray! They also went through my purse because apparently my dolphin keychain looked suspicious! The plane ride to Toronto was uneventful, but very tiring. I hate aisle seats.
Arriving in Toronto...
I was still half asleep and was not able to sleep on the plane. We picked up our luggage and proceeded out to Gate D where a car was there to pick us up and take us to our hotel room. We checked into our hotel rooms and met downstairs in the restaurant for breakfast/dinner. The other people were quite excited to be in Toronto and wanted to go site seeing and all I could think of was the very comfortable looking bed and pillow that I had seen in my room. I put away my "tired eyes" and put on my "adventurous eyes" We were told that we can use the car and driver to take us wherever we wanted that day. After dinner, we phoned up the car company and they come to pick us up. We ended up in Niagra Falls! It was my second time seeing the Falls, but it is so spectacular that I can go there over and over again.
We got back around 8:00 that evening and went straight to a restaurant called "Milestone's Bar & Grill" to meet one of the Sales Executive of the Software Company that we were to see the next day for a business meeting. The food was so delicious and we left there stupidly full! By the time we got back to the hotel room, we were all too tired to think straight.
The next day was our meeting day. The car was sent to the hotel to pick us at 8:45 a.m. and after a 40 minute drive, we arrived to our meeting place. The meeting was very interesting and informative. When I was first told that I was going to Toronto, I had no idea what kind of meeting I was going to. When people asked me why I was going to Toronto, my reply was, "I don't know, but I will find out when I get there!" Our meeting ended early and we were all set to go shopping! Me and boys went ahead to the Pro Bass Shop (The only one in Canada!!) and I got myself some sweet fishing gear! The girls had stayed behind at the office to wait for the stretch limo that was being sent and they met up with us at the Pro Bass Store. From there we proceeded to the Hockey Hall of Fame and then to the CN Tower to have supper at the revolving restaurant.
After supper, we took a detour and drove around the city in the limo. We got back to the hotel pretty late again and real exhausted. We were spoiled big time and all expenses were covered!
Leaving Toronto...
After watching a movie in the room, I went straight to bed just to get a phonecall at 6:00 a.m. to say that the car was waiting for us downstairs and we had to take off to the airport right away! Six o'clock in Toronto was 4:00 a.m. here! How tired was I! We got to the airport in time and security check went ok. My first stop after the security gates? Tim Hortens. I love the Toronto Airport! They think to have the Tim Hortens store and a whole lotta other gift stores after the Security Checks. I spent the rest of the time, browsing while waiting to board the plane.
Arriving back home...
We arrived back in Saskatchewan at about 10 o'clock in the morning. I went straight to Prince Albert, did some shopping and cruized home in time to take a shower and run to my Karate Class! I was so exhausted from the past 3 days that I slept for a whole 12 hours lastnight!! Loved it.
p.s. I now have internet at home once again!
