What can you do in Toronto? (I totally LOVE Toronto, so...)
For starters, I'd suggest that if you get any sizeable group of Xsmarksers together, you immediately head to the CN Tower...they have a section of the floor that's foot thick clear plexiglass and 1,122 feet above ground level. You should all walk out on the plexi and anyone who's anxious to get an answer to The Question can see if they can figure it out from 1,122 feet below.

I love going up to the Skypod! But with the new security screening equipment (which blows air across your body) going kilted, especially regimental, may answer the question for the unsuspecting folks waiting on the qeue. 
Sadly, I won't be back to Ontario (TO, Oakville and Burlington) until early spring, and, Cloves, I'll be in the HRM (Bedford), Lunenburg County, Annapolis Valley and Yarmouth to see family in June. I can see running up to Charlottetown for the day.
Have fun on your trip, Rob. Make sure and check out the St. Lawrence Market while you're there too. It's one of my favorite touristy things to do in TO.

The mention of the St. Lawrence Market reminds me that there are lots of great antique stores in Toronto and there was a big indoor antique mall in a building on the lakefront (both Chicago and Toronto are models of how to turn your lakefront into nice recreational areas instead of industrial areas). Was that the St. Lawrence Market? Haven't been in Toronto for several years but now I'd figure that there's good possibility of finding some kilt related stuff in one of these shops so that's yet ANOTHER reason to want to go back.

Cool, sounds like some definite interest and plenty of things to do in Toronto and the surrounding environs (like 2 kilt makers in less than 100 miles is more than I need!). Let me get through this weekend's trip to Monterey, and maybe through Xmas, and we will put some more concrete plans in place.

Ch'Town's still about a 4 hour drive from Halifax. But I have family and friends in NS (grew up there) so let me know when you arrive. Weehoo!

I am about just over an hour south of Toronto... go up there frequently. Please keep me in the loop about potential plans for a get together!
