Blind River is THAT far from Tronna??!!!! Geez. We may not make it. Perhaps we will fly over it on the way from Los Angeles.

With reference to Rapaire's comments above, we have found it helps to always open a conversation with "g'day", in the broadest Aussie accent we use (not difficult as we are both Aussie born and bred). This alerts the person to whom we are speaking that we do not share the same accent as they and it attunes their ear to the rhythm of a different speech pattern, thereby saving them the continual use of "eh?" and "whaddyasay?"

Q, we loved the ROM. And the Bata museum. And the Textile Museum of Canada, small but perfectly formed. And Casa Loma. And lots more of Tronna.

Eve, we will be staying on Victoria Park Avenue, just north of Kingston Road. It's good for TTC transport as there is a bus at the gate, and we know the Danforth line.

Cheers
