Bye Toronto, I’m Gone Again Till the Spring

Airport early this morning.

I unlocked the “Jet Setter” badge on Foursquare today, golf claps.  I should be more on this, I’ve been to 8 different airports already this week.

Here’s my account if you’d like to friend me.

Obligatory window shot.

There’s something you never seen – me with headphones on.

Bought my first song ever song on my iPhone: Skrillex, “Bangarang”.

It’s playing over and over… I am OCDing out.

Remember when I predicted he’d be big? And then he won 3 Grammys the other week?

Yes to me.

I can’t say for the city, I’ve never been, but their airport is quite nice.

Kay one more flight and I’m back in the sun on my “Avoiding Winter 2012 Tour”.

I’ll be here in the south till mid-April, when Canada warms up again.

TTYL I’ve got a function to attended tonight when I arrive

 

 

I Miss My View

This was my view for 3 years.

That’s the cutest airport, Porter.

 

The shortest ferry ride in the world.

Different filers on my Olympus PEN.

There’s CBC, my first job when moving here.

I ended up becoming their inaugural made-for-web-show.

Can you picture me standing at the bottom of the Rogers sign the night I guarded ACDC? Ha.

Woah this winter weather this is outstanding!

Thanks for a great visit home, Toronto, see you in the spring!!

 

 

 

 

 

PS – Gah, just realized: how can I not have a ‘Toronto’ blog category? Now I do.

Night Walk

I love the financial district, I always have.

Blogged about it many times.

It’s so clean here, teams come out at night to scrub the sidewalks.

It’s pretty safe, too.

Security guards in most buildings, cameras everywhere… makes so I can zone out and enjoy the walk and not have to be on high alert.

Remember to use windows and the abundance of reflective surfaces to check what’s behind you.

I wandered in and out of my beloved PATH – it’s the world’s largest underground, eh.

I always make a point of passing through the Royal York lobby if possible.

I picked up stuff at Shoppers, things I can only buy in Canada. They’re having a deal right now: they give you $20 Petro-Canada gift cards for shopping.

Then I went home, ate licorice and blogged this.

 

Night, TTYT xo

 

 

 

I'm Homeless Until Tonight

I’m between my hotel and next destination.

I don’t have a home in Toronto right now, my lease expired the day I left for my winter 2012 tour of “Avoiding Winter”.

In the elevator on my way out.

I have photos of my room and a little story.

All my belongings may be seen in this photo.

It’s a funny feeling… where do you go? Try to make a list in your head, see?

Coffee shop? Restaurant or bar? You have to spend money to be there.

Are there stairs? To drag my bag up and down. And where will I put my bag?

The answer is… the mall.

Off I roll.

Then I cut through The Sheraton to warm up, oh I see a chair free…

20120218-173623.jpg

One of my favorite hidden gems in downtown.

Look.

I have a great post at this place for my security show, SmartenUpInternet.com.

Think I’ll stay here for a bit. I’m blending in well with my suitcase.

Ttyl.

PS – I’m posting this in a way that circumvents my photo uploading issue, which is making me nuts because I can’t figure it out, NUTS.
