Dwarf Back

Well, it is a long time since I have written in the blog :-( Apart from about my holiday of course.

Truth to tell my life continues a little dull, oh I get excited at the latest government scandal or idiocy, however even though there are a couple of scandals a week now Gordon still seems less corrupt than tony bliar who was just pure evil.

Just generally been working and sleeping.

I was listening to the wireless the other day and they were talking to Benny and Bjorn from Abba and once again raised the possibility of an Abba reunion, which was shot down because they feet that their energy on stage was a very important part of their shows, and everyone would be dissappointed by seeing 50 year olds with less energy doing those shows. Having seen Bjorn Again a couple of times I would have to agree with them.

The reason that this comes to mind is that three new episodes of Red Dward were made and broadcast this Easter, and they were very very disappointing.

Toronto

So I have booked my flights to Toronto with some airline called Air Transat, never heard of them, but the club class was relatively inexpensive, and the times of the flights were very good, no early start either end and landing at civilised times both ways.

Still in the planning phase at the moment, I'm thinking of Toronto for three days, Casoloma, Royal Ontario Museum and maybe Toronto island (noticed a restaurant called Bite Me that sounds good).

Then head off by train to Kingston (I work in Kingston!) for a couple of days just looking around the waterfront and town, then back to Toronto to catch a Blue Jays game, do some more sauntering and to meet some nice people :-)

Then off to the airport on Tuesday to pick up a hire car and drive up to the Deerhurst resort to chill for a couple of days, then down to Niagara falls for half of Thursday and Friday, drop off the car and home :-)

Hotels? Now where to stay? I have booked the Hilton at Niagara, but am not sure about where to stay in Toronto itself, I think I would like to be in the city so that I am able to get around easier, the Cosmopolitan looks very nice. As above I am not planning on driving until I have left Toronto so I need somewhere central, being a diamond Hhilton person staying there would probably be good, but it does seem pricey.

Still thinking of maybe hiring a car for a bit earlier and going out to the burbs instead of Kingston though.

Holiday!

I have finally managed to agree a fortnights holiday!

So where to go?

There was a super deal with Air France to San Francisco, but that has disappeared now :-(

Still considering Toronto and/or San Francisco, blowing the last of my BA miles :-) Also hoping that my Hilton Diamond card lasts!

Anyway, does anyone have any interesting places to suggest that I visit? I can sit on a beach for about two days without going mad, and I like interesting things to see. However for places like China and Japan I would prefer to go on a package and this is going to be an independent deal.
