Note to other travellers:

When you get a shuttle from the airport to the hotel, make sure you specify to which one of the ten thousand Hilton hotels you are going.  Then have the driver repeat it back to you!  Don't assume when you yell "Hilton Homewood Suites" from the back of the bus that he won't take you to the Hilton Double Tree.  Then, don't trust the person at the check in desk when he says "your Hilton hotel is just behind this one, you could walk there" with many bags and two wound-up kids, because that may be the wrong one too.  Thank goodness the wonderful doorman stopped us and had me look up the name and address of OUR Hilton hotel because it was not just behind the Hilton Double Tree and apparently there are two hotels in Toronto called Hilton Homewood Suites.  He also very kindly got us a taxi to the proper hotel.  I think he deserved more than the $5 tip we had already given him!

Luckily, we had a very nice flight, the kids were well behaved and OUR Hilton room is wonderful.  Right now everyone is napping and the only noise is the occassional plane flying by.  When everyone wakes up we will go for a swim then grab something for supper.  Then tomorrow at noon (Toronto time)  it's our 13.5 hour flight to Seoul, Korea.  Oh Lord I hope I remembered to bring the Children's Gravol!  Just kidding, of course....

They ran to the plane!

Finally!

They are so excited

Cool hotel
