There are shuttle buses, like a generic one that goes to downtown areas for about $10.00 Cdn, and can then cheaply cab to the Ramada from there. People must remember that TO is a huge city and that the airport is pretty far outside of the actual downtown core.

There was only 3 books the last time I read L'Engle. 4 and 5 have been placed on my spring reading list (which is just way too long *grin*). Thanks for the info!

To *my* knowledge, the only time in its entirety, but I could be wrong. In the teaser version from Mel Lastman Square they skipped the "dramatic ending," as Murray called it. I really wish the Murman would get off the stick and perfom it again (ooh, did that sound harsh and demanding?).
