arthonielWow, I've done a lot in 3 days...
Saturday I got up at reasonable hour, which left me increadibly tired for the hours following, and went to LaGuardia Airport, where I (with my family) got my tickets, checked my bag, and waited for the airline system to stop being stupid so I could get on the plane. Yes, everything was delayed by at least an hour, because the day before it was thunderstorming for half an hour, so they cancelled everything. Because that's just the story of my life. Anywho, I finally get on the flight, and we take off, the flight is about an hour, and we proceed to have the bumpiest landing I have ever experienced, resulting in me doing things that you don't want to hear about if you're eating, about to eat, or just ate. After that, we get to our hotel, which is very nice- it's a Mariott- and we proceed to go out to lunch. My friend Julia had been here before, and she suggested we take a Hippo Bus Tour, and so we did, and that was really cool!! It's this tour of Toronto that drives you around to all the major sites in the city, and then it goes in the water and shows you Ontario Place, the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) and the Toronto skyline, which is actually fairly nice. So we did that, and then we just went out for dinner, came back to the hotel, and I started chanel surfing for a Canadian chanel that would have Avatar.
On Sunday we went to Ontario Place, which is basically this huge theme park, and we did some of the rides, some mini-golf at which I lost spectacularly, and went into this giant mirror-maze-thing, which was really awesome. There was one point there where we're in the mirror part of it, and it's only really lit by ultra-violet lights, and I looked in a mirror, smiled, and all that I could see of myself was a set of teeth. It was really freaky, but really cool too.
Yesterday (Monday) we went to the Ontario science museum. It was fairly cool, they had this exhibit on the Titanic where they had actual artifacts from it and everything, and then at the gift shop they had the "Heart of the Sea", which was basically a fake thing that was like the necklace from Titanic (the movie) and I would have gotten it, except it costed a frillion dollars.... Thier science museum is alright, but it doesn't have anything compared to the New York Sciene Museum.
Yeah, that's basically my vacation so far... I'll post more when I get the chance!!
