I started thinking life is too short and I'm too young to have to settle down! I guess every woman's head begins to spin when they approach 30 and realize they are not married or have children, meanwhile all their friends are and do.

Well I figured that I haven't found Prince Charming yet, so it is high time I start traveling. Life is too short! And there is too much to see. I want to check out Canada and make Toronto my first stop. Besides I'm too young to throw in the towel, and I'm not tied down by anything!

I was wondering about the hotels and things to see in the area and haven't a clue. I'd truly love some suggestions.

Have you been to Canada before?

Toronto (TO) is as good a place to start as any. Think of it as Canada's NYC. Most NYC themes have been emulated in some form in TO.

The water front is better than any in Manhattan, go to Queen's Quay, the Red Rocket (street car) will get you there. On a sunny day it's good to kick back and have a beer on a patio. Good shopping too.

Queen's Street West is a funky area, analogous to the East Village. A must see, ranked second coolest community in the world, after some place in Japan.

Dundas-Yonge Square is like Times Square, walk up and down Yonge.

Good shopping at Eaton Centre, the downtown multi-story indoor mall. Nothing quite like it in Manhattan, most closely resembles the Mall of America.

King's Street West is the nightclub area and has live stage productions ala Broadway/off-Broadway.

CN tower: TO's answer to the Empire State and World Trade Centre. Go for the view, there is a rotating restaurant.

The Canoe: purest Canadian fine dining you'll ever find anywhere. All wines from Canada. 54 stories up, great views. I can't recommend any particular dish, it's all good.

Bloor St and Yonge (Yorkville) is the tony upscale shopping area, like Fifth Avenue just south of the park. Royal Ontario Museum is in this area, a poor man's version of the Metropolitan Museum.

The cool university area is around the downtown campus of U of Toronto (College Ave), same feel as Columbia or NYU.

For beach time, go to the Beaches, take the Red Rocket east on Queens.

Going further out, the Toronto Zoo is one of the world's finest, it's on the edge of the city.

If you like amusement parks, check out Canada's Wonderland. Much better than, and cleaner than, Coney Island.

The subway is less grimey than NYC, not as extensive, but will take you far and wide. Koreatown is in North York, almost at the end of the Yonge Street line.

Parks are not a strength of TO. Hyde Park is your best bet, feels a little like Park Avenue around there.

Ontario Science Centre is an idea, best to take a taxi there. It is kind of kid-oriented.

Hotels? Hhhmmm, can you be more specific? TO has every type. You can't lose with the Four Seasons. Queen St West has some cool hotels, similar to the Ace or the Pods in NYC, if that's your taste.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

That will get you started. But there is so much more to Canada than TO. For something unique, your next stops should be Montreal and Quebec City. NOW you're experiencing cultural diversity!

In another few days I'll be off on vacation for a couple of weeks and one of the places I'd love to go to is Toronto. Both for the girls and also for the landscape. I've been to places like Halifax and Quebec City, and loved both places, but have to go to a large city for the available action, so to speak. Thinking about getting a rental apartment/condo, trough AIRBNB (used them many times) instead of a hotel. Always feel more comfortable in an apartment considering the space, privacy, and tranquility. Also, most apartments actually cost less per day than most hotels.  

My question is, for out call to my apartment will it be more difficult for an escort to get to than a hotel? Some apartments are not in the city center. I also do not have a cell phone that will work in Canada as mine is a Tracphone. I don't even think I can change out the SIM Card. Am I able to purchase an inexpensive cell phone inclusive of Canadian SIM Card? I wonder if this can be done at the airport?

Tracfone does not work in Canada and cannot be made to work here. Your best option is to get a prepaid T-mobile phone, with an international roaming package, in the USA before you arrive. Most convenient and likely the least expensive way-to-go.

"My question is, for out call to my apartment will it be more difficult for an escort to get to than a hotel?"

Shouldn't be. Condo/apartments usually have a buzzer board, she just buzzes you for the room # when she gets there. There is usually a doorman around, especially downtown. Not an issue if you are letting her up, and she has a reasonable cover story.

AirBNB has lots of selection in the city centre/downtown.

Thanks.

Yes, I always use AIRBNB for nice apartments. I would also think that having the girl come to my apartment there would be virtually little chance of LE becoming involved. Going to her place you never know what to expect unless I guess she is really well verified through TER experiences. Even then it's not a guarantee. As an American I'm basically trying to escape the LE problems that are inherent here in the US.  

I notice that many of the  escorts are located in the Mississauga area. Is this a popular area for them possibly for convenience?  

The airport is in that general area.
