Well we flew out to Toronto from Manchester on the 1st September. The flight seemed really quick. Just under 7 hours. Isaac was pretty good too. Slept for the first 2 hours and then was awake for the rest and apart from the turbulence when he had to put his belt on, his was pretty happy on the flight and well behaved.
Stayed in Toronto for the first night, then we had a train to catch the next day - 2nd september to Windsor, but had a few hours to spare, so went to Shopsys for a huge breakfast of sausage, bacon, eggs, potato, toast and pancakes with syrup. Then we took a walk up to the Eaton centre.
The train journey to Windsor was a little more hard work. Isaac wouldn't sit still and spent the majority of it, driving the other passengers insane by shouting at the top of his voice. Managed to get him to nod off for the last hour or so of the journey.
We didn't get to Windsor till late so was booked into the Comfort Inn for that night. Popped into the Golden Griddle for a quick bite to eat and then went to bed as we were shattered.
The next morning we met up with the realtor, who drove us over to the house we are renting where we met our landlord and his father in law. House is lovely, so spacious and although it is an old house, it has all been renovated, so nice and new. Gorgeous swimming pool out the back a well.
It is now nearly 2 weeks since we have been here and we are slowly furnishing the house. So far have a cooker, dishwasher, washer and dryer, huge sectional leather sofa, two tv's, a dining set and a inflatable bed (which is starting to become uncomfortable). We did order a huge ice maker refridgerator, but when it was delivered we was shocked to find it didnt fit in the space, we measure from the back of the wall to the unit and as the wall wasnt completely straight it meant the fridge was too big. Luckily Gav spotted a dent in the front, so they took it back and we are getting a slightly smaller one (but more expensive grrrrrrrr) tomorrow.
Our landlord visited the other night with his wife, brought a few gifts (toys) for Isaac and a wall clock and Tim Hortons coffee and donuts for us. I thought that was rather sweet. Certainly wouldnt get anything like that back in the UK.
Gav has gone off to look at cars today as the lease on our rental car is nearly at an end, so need to sort out something quick. We also need to sort out my Visa as they spelt my surname name wrong. Once we have that sorted we will pop across the border into the US to get our bedroom stuff and other bits from Ikea.
Will leave you for today with some pics of the house etc.
