errr... yeah.... i highly suggest taking the TTC there and back, especially since it's canada day. it'll be packed.
the TTC is actually pretty bad getting back that day too, but i wouldn't want to be driving.

I've been stuck on the TTC a few times leaving Ontario place, and I've also been stuck in my car. In general I've been happier stuck in traffic in my own car with my own space and my stereo & friends vs. on the packed ttc. But we'll have to chat and figure out the best option.

the Metro gives a cheaper rate if you're booking two nights... this comes up on all the discount websites. The one night rate is $141.55 or something like that (both of these rates are the same on all discount sites I've checked today).

so i just booked and got 127 for the first night and 119 for the second at the Metro. Looking like the cheapest deal. YAY
and yeah maybe we can hire a bus to drive us around..haha.
Also if you call the hotel directly you can request that our rooms be close to one another. Hains is Holly and mines.
i am so excited.

there is a street car from union station that goes right to the exhibition, then you just walk to the amphitheater.

okay, so maybe i can just ask the hotel clerk to point us in the direction of the union station? then when we get to the union station, ask someone which one will take us to the amphitheatre.... perfect! thanks

Okay I'm totally lost...
I'm terrible at figuring these things out.
Someone help me figure out where to stay? Haha.
Christine, I think I'll just book at the place you guys are staying at, but do they have an 800 number to call or would I have to call out-of-country? Cuz I can't really do that. Haha.

i think the best price might be an online ordering but see what rate they quote you and tell them the price you can get on line and see what they say. I will message you to see whats up. Cant believe we actually get to meet!
