Accomodation was provided at the Bond Place Hotel close to the corner of Dundas and Yonge in downtown Toronto and at the Skyline Brock in Niagara Falls.
We enjoyed our holiday so much, and were determined to visit the attractions that we were not able to get either due to lack of time or transport that our
1998 holiday was based in the Niagara region.

Packing in Toronto - whilst Sarah went for a final shopping trip in the Eaton Centre, Stewart attempted to pack everything up. We arrived in Toronto with three partially filled bags, leaving space for souveniers. However, be the time Sarah returned from her shopping trip it was evident that another case was necessary. A small trolley case was obtained from Eaton's and packing was completed.
