Tonight has been a night of memories.

One that just wandered into my thoughts, is that football season is about to begin. My Great Uncle Perry was a big Nebraska Huskers fan and I always think of him when I see them play on TV.

Wandering North Again

Next week I will again wander north to Toronto, Canada.

Air Canada, Seldom Flyers, SFO, Airlines, Frequent FlyersI will be flying on Air Canada as there is not a direct flight on United Airlines. However, I am on a code-share ticket so still get my miles.

Canada Goose, Canada Geese, Westin Prince Toronto, Westin Hotel, Flower ClockThis trip will be a little different as I will not be staying where I usually do at The Westin Prince. Instead, the training will be held at a training centre near King City.

Toronto Skyline, York Mills, Westin Prince, Tim HortonsI will miss my view of the Toronto skyline. However, I will be enjoying a bit of nature while exploring the grounds of the training centre.

Happy Holidays from Braman's Wanderings - https://bramanswanderings.wordpress.com - Hibiscus - Snow - CanadaI held a training course years ago at the same training centre, but it was in the middle of the winter and I didn’t even go outside during the course. Five days inside as it was just too cold to even think of going outdoors. I am looking forward to going outside this time 🙂

I took this picture of a poinsettia while at the training centre and used it as a holiday greeting years ago.

Tim Horton's, Canada, Coffee, TorontoMy meals will all be at the training centre during the week, but I am sure that I will at least find time on the weekend to go to Tim Hortons to at least get a donut.

I am looking forward to the weekend while I am there as I will get to see some of my best friends.

p.s. You may have noticed that I used the Canadian spelling for centre. I need to get used to some of the little language changes 🙂
