An old friend of mine is getting married. To the boy next door. Literally. A guy from next door, from back home in Detroit. He is head over heels, gaga, in l-o-v-e. They got together in 1987, when my friend was back home for his 30th high school reunion. Anyway, they're getting married in Windsor this June. I was beyond thrilled for him. Longer story for another time. I just have to go! And that's where this post comes in.
As many of you know, I have been trying to get to Toronto for a while now. But, life has intervened. But, I'm thinking of flying to Toronto and then driving to Windsor/Detroit. That way I could, hopefully, meet some of you and get to the wedding.
If anyone has an extra guest bed or sofa and would be willing to host me for Thursday and Friday, 11 and 12 June, I would be forever indebted. My tentative plan is to fly into Toronto early Thursday, spend Thursday and Friday in Toronto, and drive to Windsor/Detroit on Saturday morning. The gala event doesn't begin until evening. I would then stay in Windsor/Detroit, drive back to Toronto on Sunday and fly out Sunday afternoon/evening.
Now, I fully realize that this may not be possible for any one of the Toronto crew, but I thought it was worth a shot. Don't feel badly if you can't help out. Maybe we'll meet anyway! If you might be able to help, zip me an email off-blog. Thanks!
In other news - we were supposed to get 15-25 cm of snow today, but then they cancelled it and took us straight to the freezing rain. Even that hasn't materialized as badly as they indicated. But, it meant that we stayed in all day - and made sure we had water, a functional lantern, and wood for the stove. So far, so good - as you might infer by the fact that I'm posting!

Hey M,
Eric and I have a very nice guest room for you with a queen sized futon, so no worries, you are covered. Quite sure knowing the gang here in T.O. that you may have multiple offers so shout back at the "Email..." link on my blog at some point and let me know how the situation is going and/or to get more details. Cheers!
Fabulous, thanks! I'll send you an email soon.
Should that fall through, I've got a bed in Hamilton for you, too. :) It's about an hour closer to Windsor but an hour away from all the fun people in Toronto. LOL
I'm a couchsurfer from way way back. Just got back from 3.5 months, 29,000 km and a LOT of couches from internet folk.
Don't ya just love tha internets???
You are always welcome to stay with us. We just have a couch to offer.
Thanks Jo and Tom! I'll be in touch as it gets closer!
Wow, I'm way late on this. My blog reading is so behind these days. But you are totally welcome to stay with us. We are near the airport and can offer a spare bedroom and all the canine affection you can handle.
