Back from Toronto, straight into work

Finally some work! Although I wasn't a big fan of having to drive up to Edmonton yet again in a rental car, but it's worth it for my next destination.

Currently in Edmonton now at the hotel, just hanging out here for a departure tomorrow morning out to New York City! Can't wait! We fly into the Teterboro airport and will be staying at a Hilton hotel in New Jersey. I have all the tips and tricks from coworkers though on how to catch a quick and cheap bus right into downtown.

So I shall be spending quite a bit of time touring around New York. I'm really looking forward to it. It is high on my list of "to visit places" and there aren't many of those left these days!

As for my past weekend in Toronto, it was a great time! Bonnie is now a married woman to Jim and the ceremony and reception went off exceptionally well. Bonnie was a beautiful bride and I was happy to have been able to make it out for the occasion. The wedding was on Saturday and so the other days John and I toured around downtown and visited some other sites and had a good time. Howard was able to meet up with us on Friday night and show us around downtown a bit. We ended up at a cool little pub which had something like 250 beers from around the world. I've already forgotten the name of the beer I had but it was damn tasty, like a Kilkenney, but better!

My nose is a little red after getting a bit of sun on the sunny/high overcast day of the wedding. I imagine that I'll get quite a bit more sun in New York City this week too so I have brought along the sunscreen to make sure I'm well prepared. Looks like the temps will be close to the 30's.

My next post might be from New York, and if not, it will be upon my return. I plan to take many many pictures and will post them up eventually after I get back. Until then!
