In the wake of our successful trip to England last month, I've decided to double down with a four day trip to Toronto over the Easter weekend. (My workplace is conveniently closed on both the Friday and the Monday.) It's a bit of a gamble: because it's Easter, there's a chance that not all the places that I want to go will be open, but I'm reasonably certain that I won't have any trouble filling the time no matter what happens.
In addition to spending some time with my friend Colin (the pretty Campbell Brother) I'm hoping to visit my traditional shopping favourites: the Silver Snail, newly returned to Queen Street West, for comics, graphic novels and action figures; Bakka-Phoenix Books for, well, books; and whatever other shopping opportunities offer themselves. I'm travelling light, with just carry-on luggage and my shoulder bag, so if for some reason I should hit the jackpot for shopping, I could always buy a cheap bag and check in my purchases, although I doubt that things will get that far out of control.
However, it's been over two years since I last visited Toronto, and let's not forget that there's been a near-apocalyptic pandemic event since then. Maybe an extra bag for books is the least of my concerns - it's possible that I should be planning for the traditional post-apocalyptic challenges of finding clean water and evading roving bands of cannibals. Or even without that, it may just be a very different place...
