Amie
I am suddenly very busy which is good because I will actually have the money to attend but bad because I may be booked.
So that is a definate maybe.

I would also like to know about any nice campgrounds that are near.

The camping 'resort' next door is Algonquin Trails. The closest hotel is Lumina Resort (ah, sweet love, where Ian and I and countless other couples met . . .) and if a spa is more your thing (read: the only way you're going to get the wife and kids up here with you!) then I'd recommend Deerhurst Resort, the place where Shania Twain was discovered.

My thought was the official day would be the 10th - meet the folks of Axiom, plant tour, potato salad, frisbeer etc. Then for anyone who was interested, golfing on Sunday. But any opinions are welcome!

Hey Amie:
Got any suggestions for a hotel that won't cost a pair of M60s per night? Holiday Inn Express or one of those "We'll leave the light on" deals?

It's not the price....errr... I'm just not looking to meet anyone!

Mark, you can get a cabin at the resort next to the plant for $59.00 CAD / night. That's like $6.00 US!!!!!!

OK, I'll admit that I only looked at the Lumina (based upon the word "hotel". The spa has good rates as well (and golf)! The ~$700/night rates were a bit much for me!

That's $700 a WEEK including meals, not 700 a night.

"Weekly rate per adult (including 2 meals daily) based on number of adults in accommodation.
DAILY RATES: $98 to $130 M.A.P."

"If you are confused by the rates CALL, it's usually LESS than you think."

John, is there ANYthing that you don't beat me at? Oh yeah, your suggestion to wrap the basement pole in wood on another thread. That's one for me and six hundred and twelve for you!

So I'll ask before some other Ameracuhn does:

What's the conversion rate? Maybe I'll stay a week!

Amie: When is peak foliage for your area?

I probably drink more c-c-c-c-c-coffee than you

Exchange rate looks like $1.22 CDN per $US off a forex site. Banks and credit card companies will probably shave a few points off that, so maybe divide by 1.18 to get equivalent US ?

Our credit card companies went through a phase of grossly overcharging on exchange rates, but after some beatings they went back to only grossly overcharging on interest rates. Wouldn't hurt to check with your cc provider.

For accomodations before and after, unless my new house goes totally off the rails I can offer a place to stay near Toronto (and probably transportation) plus almost as wide a selection of Axiom products as they have up in Dwight. Might not be set up with guest beds etc.. but there will be A/C, running water and a couple of thoroughly sleep-tested sofas.
