With others on hand to see that the correct Super Express Bus was the one 1 got on I was off on the fourhour trip to Toronto. The bus was full but with a pleasant seat companion and air conditioned atmosphere it was made in comfort. All went well unto six o'clock, the time arranged for me to be picked up for the journey from Toronto home to Brussels. Due to a misunderstanding six o'clock came and went and I was still there - stranded in the Toronto bus station. By eight p.m. panic began to hit - an elderly senior citizen alone in a city of which she knew little. Finally in desperation a niece was called and she came flying to my rescue. So it ended spending a pleasant evening, and the night. in her home instead of a nervous, lonely one in a hotel room. Next day, after a phone call my trusty driver came and picked me up and brought nic home. Here 1 am again - just me and my dog Sheba.
