>>So did you ever make it up to Toronto? If so, how was it and where did you end up going?

>I spent 8 days in Toronto with the family. We did all the tourist type things:
>2 Blue Jays games
>Casa Loma
>Royal Ontario Museum
>Toronto Zoo
>Ontario Science Centre
>CN Tower - that glass floor is scary as hell!
>Cirque du Soleil Totem
>Niagara Falls
>
>My hotel was one block away from Queen Street subway station and we took advantage of the public transit. I love going on vacation and not having a rental car.
>
>My takes on Toronto:
>Extremely culturally diverse - loved this.
>People were polite but not friendly which I am on board with :)
>For a big city, it was clean.
>Real Estate is ridiculous and it seems poised for a bubble pop.
>The underground is an amazing engineering achievement to avoid the cold of winter.
>Theater prices are more expensive than New York City!
>
>Random observations:
>Locals pronounce it Toronno - leaving the second T silent. (Trawnu)
>$1 and $2 coins take getting used to.

>In the last 15 months I have vacationed in Boston, New York City, and Toronto and I definitely recommend Toronto as a vacation destination.
