["KatieWow" >> What should I expect in the way of transportation between the >> airport and the Ramada? How much would a cab cost? THE BUDGET WAY ============== Take a look at the TTC's "schedules" page at http://www.city.toronto.on.ca/ttc/schedules/index.htm They have a great "Ride Guide" in PDF format (for the Acrobat reader...) The airport is in the north-west "corner" of Toronto, near the top left of the "Ride Guide" map. Route 58A (the red line) is the route through the airport, and goes to the "Lawrence West" subway station. From there, you can take the subway to the College station - the closest one to the Ramada. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from there. The whole trip would probably take 1.5 hours. It's confusing, and I'd really only recommend it to people who are familiar with Toronto... THE MORE EXPENSIVE (BUT MUCH EASIER) WAY ======================================== There are MANY shuttle busses to downtown - you can find more information at the "Lester B. Pearson International Airport" OFFICIAL SITE. http://www.lbpia.toronto.on.ca/ They even have a page on "Getting to the Airport" at http://www.lbpia.toronto.on.ca/Getting%20to%20the%20Airport/gotoairp.htm The Pacific Western Airport Express is the major bus company providing service to downtown. It will cost $12.50 each way, and stops at the Ramada, as far as I know... This is by far the easiest and worth-the-money way to get downtown! THE REALLY EXPENSIVE WAY ======================== Take a cab. You have to be very careful when you do this, as not all cabs are "authorized" to pick up at the airport, and if the RCMP catches an "unauthorized" cab picking you up, you'll lose your ride (no penalty for you or anything, just annoying...) According to the Taxi Tarrif posted at the Airport's site (above), it should cost you $34 FLAT RATE to get from the airport to the Ramada Hotel (300 Jarvis Street). **DO NOT** let them take advantage of you by using the meter!! Tell them you want a flat rate to downtown. If they refuse, then FIND ANOTHER CAB! If you really want to go in luxury, there is a whole fleet of "Airport Limos" servicing mostly business travellers. These are basically glorified cabs, but they feature extremely polite drivers, VERY clean cars, and they're not a whole lot more expensive! You'll know a limo by the cleanliness of the car, the leather seats, and the license plate - they all end with FLY (Like 004 FLY, or 175 FLY) If you're going to take a cab, I'd recommend these... If anyone has any questions about your trip, Toronto in general, what to do when you're not "Fruheading", give me a buzz at bmcnamee@yahoo.com - I'm more than happy to help you out!

So much great stuff not > included in the books! Okay, maybe someone can answer me this question. The original BBC recordings of "Hitchhiker's" have this really catchy theme music that I've never known the name or artist of. I'm nostalgic about it because I took these children's theatre classes in the summer when I was a kid, and the teacher often used it as background music for our exercises. It was only later that I heard it as the Hitchhiker's radio show theme. Someone once told me the artist/group that they claimed did the music, but it seemed so incongruous and not-at-all-their-style that I've completely forgotten who it was. Like the Eagles or something. Does anyone here know the *real* answer? k@ believe it or not, parts of this post are not many degrees away from Fru- content.
