Instead of taking a train or a Greyhound bus from Montreal to Toronto we flew. We were all very impressed with the service from Porter Airline, a private national airline. It took the whole of an hour and was half the price of a 5 hour train trip! I had a great time flying over Montreal seeing the West Island, and imagining where our old house was, then seeing lake Ontario, and the snow over the fields. Then as we headed further South over the Lake it warmed, and the snow disappeared. Toronto neared sooner that I'd expected, and our little double propeller plane landed on Toronto Island...I didn't even know Toronto had an Island. What a view! As you can see by these photos, the weather was perfect and we got a great eye-full of down town TO, with the CN tower, etc. Apparently, Mum and our friend Jim Peck used to pick-nick on the Island back in the day. With views like the ones we were looking at, they chose a great location!
