I was using my local XP machine for a local development environment
for php, apache and mysql. Everything was great so I wanted to take
advantage of virtual sites so I could have multiple projects checked out.
I was using paths with underscores and everything was fine using Firefox
or Mozilla, bur when I tried IE, I could not log into my app and every time
I refreshed the page I received a new session id. Very strange and had me
going nuts for a bit. Then I took out the underscores and bam, IE started
To work.

I added the Totonto Pictures in the Gallery.
Take a look.

Did more caching, entries on the way.

I have to congratulate the Toronto Transit on making a fine system of trains, trolley’s and subway’s to move people around. I wish Vancouver would grow up and be the City is it supposed to be. I bought a day pas for $7.50 and was able to hope on and off different forms of transportation very easily and conveniently. I did not wait more than 5 minutes for the next car to arrive.

The Hockey hall of Fame is a very cool place!
Was more than I expected.

Me with the Best trophy of all!
I remember when the Canuck’s won this one in 1994.

Well it would not be a holiday without a little geocaching.

Did a few virtual caches and learned about a few Toronto landmarks. I will post the links once I have edited the photos and logged the visits.

I hooked up with a High School buddy that moved to Ontario to work at the Nuclear Plant. So Homer’ish it is funny! We hung out most of the day and visited a few cool spots. One neat thing was going to the air museum. It was closed but they let us take a look at the full size replica of the Arrow they are building. It is cool.

We visited a local sci-fi store, and I found a gift for Mona. A Lord of the Rings coffee mug that displays the famous ring inscription when hot liquid is poured in.

Well we made it to Toronto!
Mona had to come to the big smoke on business, and I wanted to tag along to visit some old roaming grounds when I was a in my early teens. A lot has changed over 25 years!

We arrived at the new Terminal 1 at the Toronto International Airport, and boy is it big. It is a nice new building, but Vancouver’s new terminal beats it hands down!
We picked up our luggage with no problems but when it came to getting a taxi, I was almost swindled. I say I because I am too trusting, but Mona has a bit more smarts when it comes to these types of things. We were looking for a express bus to the hotels when a fellow came up and asked if he could help us, and if we were looking for a taxi or bus?. I said a taxi, and he mentioned for us to follow him. Immediately airport officials came to our aid and mentioned that this man was soliciting for business unofficially, and that he will lead us to the parking garage and then charge us more than the normal rate. The man started arguing and trying to coax me into going with him, “Your the Man, you make the decisions!”. I just laughed! We were then lead to an official taxi by another Toronto airport official and on the way out, we were apologized to by another. I was just in a stunned state over the way we were looked after and protected. WOW!

I give the officials at the Toronto Airport a big One Geeks Approval for their quick and responsive customer service.
