So, phone numbers. PM them to me and I'll PM them to everybody Thursday.

I'm still trying to get 'in the zone' for Mittens, but work is manic at present.

Sorry to hear Dave is not going to be able to make it - could someone just kidnap him anyway?

So, in terms of costs:

$130 CAN for the Lodge
$125 CAN for the Van

And then about $50 CAN / day roughly for food, drink, entertainment??

Anything else I need to know?

That's pretty much exactly what I've converted, Matt - $600.

In terms of pickup, since Radiant isn't arriving until 8pm, I guess the easiest thing is for the rest of us at the airport to wait around / do some of our own sightseeing, and then for you to pick us up at about 9pm?

BaRoN, could you clarify this please so that we know when to be in the airport. What sort of time are you planning to pick us up?

Keep sending me mobile numbers. I've only got 4 phone numbers so far.

I'm thinking -just throwing this out there -that you might be squandering an opportunity to see a bit of Toronto by sitting around the airport all evening. So my proposal is this: I swing by Terminal 3 at approx. 5pm on Friday July 20th, pick up anyone who wants to see the town, and then head in to Yorkdale to meet up with the local Torontonians and the early arrivals. It's no extra hassle, since the airport is on my way into town anyway. We'd then conceivably have an hour or two to maybe do some quick sight-seeing or eat dinner, and then head back to the airport (on the way to Bayfield anyway) to pick up Radiant and anyone else who might still be lingering there. So there will be two airport stops: one at 5pm ish and one at 8pm ish.

Oh, and so far the only terminal I've seen people arriving at is terminal 3. I think Quintaros & Radiant will be at different terminals since they are coming from Canada & the States: let me know guys! I think there's a shuttle between terminals, but it's just extra hassle and (I seem to remember) expense.

I'll be arriving at Terminal 3 as well.

All right, so the AGS bus is coming to Yorkdale at around 5:30pm?

Thanks AGA, got the money sorted. Just need to do the washing and start packing!!

Let's be honest about the traffic situation on a summer Friday afternoon: Let's say 6:30 for sure at Yorkdale.

So: 5pm - arrivals deck at Terminal 3 (i.e. the front doors)
6:30pm - Yorkdale Mall -let's meet just outside the Rainforest Cafe.
8:30pm - arrivals deck at..... a terminal to find Radiant.
12:00 (roughly) arrive in Bayfield.

I'll be driving a white rental van with "BRISTOL" painted on the side (I think in orange) and I will try to affix a blue cup with AGS on it somewhere to the passenger side.

And Mittens '07 is off to a great start with 2 cancelled planes in a row! Maybe Godzilla will strike our car on the road tomorrow! STAY TUNED?

I'm totally psyched for this trip. Can't wait to see you all there. I need this vacation and I hope we all have a blast!

Wish you all we're here. Our cabin has a now fully stocked fridge (for 21 and over) and has plenty of mysteries to solve, like what is so cool behind that locked door? And why does CJ keep getting strange bruises when AGA is around?
