Our flight last night on Air Canada Rouge was uneventful. Business class was wonderful. Very roomy seats, decent enough food, and free flowing cocktails and wine. We arrived on time at 12:15 AM and breezed through an empty immigration and customs area. The bags were on the carousel before we got there. Oddly enough, as of today Air Canada has changed the schedule for our flight and now it arrives at 8:00 PM. That would have been better! We were at the hotel and checked in by 1:10 AM.
Wednesday morning broke sunny and nice – temps in the upper 60’s. Way better than AZ’s 105. Marriott had upgraded us to Club Class, so we enjoyed breakfast in the club on the 46th floor, one flight up from our room on 45. We had a good walk around downtown Toronto. First stop was the St Lawrence Market where we had a delightful private tour of the market with Bruce Bell, a noted Toronto historian. After that we walked down to the distillery district, now a upscale neighborhood of shops, artisan workshops, and restaurants. We had lunch at the Mill Street Brewery – mussels and frites for us both. Excellent Landmark Ale. Then it was a long walk back to the hotel for a well earned nap after our early morning arrival.
