Mississagua Ontario

Well yesterday we landed safely after a very long day of travel. All in all it was 14 hours door to door. Our contact at the hospital here recommended a really nice hotel (hotel and resort) a few miles from the hospital. As per usual Tif and I explored the place as soon as we got in and threw our stuff in our room.

We had an eventful day doing interviews at the hospital. We met some nice people. After a long exhausting day we we headed out to our car and proceeded to pay for parking. Well... tried. We are smart girls, but... but we didn't have any canadian money on us, except Tif had about $10 in coins left in a zip lock baggie (that had a hole in it by the way). We thought the 1/2 hourly rate was much lower than it was, so when we got up to the gate to pay we did not have enough money. We held up the line and dug around for awhile. Finally we scrounged up all but 5 cents of it. We told him it was all we had, so he let us go. Hummmm. We hit the ATM at the hotel when we got back.

Tif was born in Toronto so she knows about some weird little things here. We ate at one of her favorite childhood restaurants - Harvey's. It is kinda like a slightly upscale Hardee's/Carl's Jr. They had quite possibly the best veggie burger I have even gotten in a restaurant.
