Woke up around 7 am. Headed to the shower. Got dressed and left Jacquie's before 8 am. The traffic on the QEW and Gardiner Expressway was bumper to bumper. Now, we know why we left Toronto! It took us a long time to get to the Bay Street exit. We followed it up to the old City Hall and Nathan's Philip Square. Mark found us an underground parking garage close to Eggspectation. We were late so we rushed to the restaurant only to find there was more than one in this area of Toronto. Tom & Anna were kind enough to head to our restaurant. We enjoyed a lovely visit and a very nice breakfast. Left the restaurant just after 11. Walked thru the restaurant into the building where we parked our car. Drove thru Toronto to the Don Valley Parkway. We caught up with a lot of traffic which stopped half way to the 401. Then west on the 401 to the Bayview Village mall. Yim & Howard were already at Oliver & Bonacini when we arrived. Kathy was a bit later as the subway had an issue and apparently stopped for quite a while. Enjoyed our lunch together. We are so very thankful for everyone coming to meet us. It's so great to re-connect with everyone. Headed back to Mississauga. Again, the traffic was horrible on the 401/403. Arrived back around 4 pm. Enjoyed meeting up with Fred, who used to work for Mark's dad at Goodyear in Toronto, many moons ago. He joined us and Jacquie for a delicious bbq dinner. Watched some of the movie, Geostorm, on tv before it got late. Yes, our days are passing by way too fast. We have our vehicle papers now. Mark will check, tomorrow, to see if we can register it in Florida, online, so we don't have to drive back to Jacksonville. Thanks for the emails and messages. Enjoy your day!

About:
We are both computer folks that were live aboard cruisers back in the 90s. We settled in Jacksonville Florida after escaping the great white north and cruising the Bahamas, T&C, DR and points south down to Trinidad. [...]
Extra: Charabia is a French slang word for nonsense or gibberish. It derives from Arabic "sharab" which means alcohol.When you drink (too much) alcohol, you start talking Charabia. The original owners named her and Mark liked the name so it stuck.
