| Welcome to Ontario |
Today was the shortest of our 3 long days to get to Kingston - only 560 km today. We had light rain and +3C most of the way. Thanks to state of the art highway engineering and 5 lanes of traffic we were able to average about 20 km/hr through much of Toronto.

We had lunch in Toronto and then Dorothy drove to Kingston. As we came along, the sights started to become more and more familiar from our years of living in Kingston and often traveling the 401, esp. when Dorothy's brother lived in the Lake Simcoe, and later Oshawa areas.
After we reached Kingston, we arranged to meet Carylanne at a restaurant near where we used to live.

Seeing Grandma and Grandpa again was a real treat for Brayden, too.
... and Grandma always enjoys a treat as well,

| Grandpa got into the act |
and Paul came by a little later to welcome us.

| Brayden, Paul and Carylanne - a big part of our destination. |
Thanks for all the good wishes. We have fared remarkably well on our journey, slipping between storms, and keeping to our demanding schedule. We have traveled 4,408 kms since leaving Sherwood Park. Now it's time to slow down some and enjoy the activities ahead.
Well I am happy to see you have reached the most important destination, and everyone looks so happy to see you both, I have been occupied with getting things done, so I will take a moment and catch up with your travels...enjoy your visits..I ran into Jack and Dorothy at the craft show and told them of your adventure, guess Jack had heart bypass, but looks real good and is well on the way to mending...they said to say hello to you both and I gave them my e-mail so they can get your info, but as yet haven't heard from them. Warming up here in the west in time for the grey cup celebrations...take care
