Day 5 - New York to Toronto We have ten bags (including an electric guitar case) so there is quite a lot to get packed up. We get up early and go for our last New York breakfast. These have been one of the highlights of our visit. Their breakfast bars are great - they really know how to do a breakfast especially the hash browns (fried potato). We called the cab driver who brought us from the airport in a 8 person bus and he came to collect us around 10:00am. We were at La Guardia by 10:30am for a 1:35pm flight, so we had a long time to kill. The flight is 55 minutes and we went on a small 50 seat jet plane (3 seats across - 2 and 1) but as soon as we hit the tarmac in Toronto the airport was hit by a severe storm. Because of the lightning, no personnel were allowed outside so we could not be guided in and had to wait an hour on the tarmac until the storm blew over. We got home to Mum's place around 5:00pm and enjoyed re-aquaiting ourselves with Lake Ontario. The house sits right on the lake and you can see right across to Niagara Falls, U.S.A. Fantastic.
