In a few weeks my husband and I will be winging our way to Toronto, Canada, so I can speak at a conference in Niagara Falls. After the conference we’ll make our way back to Toronto then fly to Vancouver to join a tour group which will travel inland for nearly two weeks, then back to  Vancouver for a 7 day cruise up Glacier Bay.  We’ll then spend 24 hours with a friend and her husband in Vancouver before boarding the plane to come back home again.

I’ve never been to Canada before and am looking forward to our trip but I have no idea what to expect.  Is their terminology different to ours (I’m sure it is)? What are the ‘cool’ words to use? What is the local news?  Are there words we shouldn’t use or say?  Are there cultural things we should be aware of? What will the temperature and weather be like in June?

Of course I could Google all of this to find out, but I want to find out from those who live there - get their perspective. So feel free to leave your comments here for all to read and once we’re there I’ll post photos as often as possible of our trip and experiences.  Cheers!
