Also, where should I stay while I am in Toronto? any specific area?
I want to be able to walk to many places and be out and about, I was looking at Queen's Park or Old Toronto? I am not sure, as this is from a Fodor's guide.
If you suggest any hotels please let me know, many Thanks ...
you know about cavern..
how about the urbane cyclist on john just north of queen.

a buddy of mine has stayed in HI and said it was good. i work near global village and i'm in kensington weekly.. all these places are pretty busy and provide good hubs for checking out toronto. good to meet fellow travellers too. good luck!
