I had a phone call from a friend who lives on Manitoulin Island (please excuse spelling mistakes)tonight. I haven't seen her or her family in years and would love to be able to visit them this summer. I thought perhaps that we could take the train up from New york and then take another train to Sudbury. Unfortunately, it takes nearly 8 hours on the train to Sudbury. I had forgotten how big a country Canada was. I then thought that we could fly to Sudbury. It would cost nearly $250.00 each, can you imagine. Obviously Canada doesn't have low cost airlines or I haven't found any yet. So, it looks like Manitoulin is out of the question and that's a shame. I'd love to see Pat and Ken and find out how their move north had treated them. Well, there are a few months to go so perhaps something will work out.
We're watching the final episode of MASH as I write. I had forgotten how moving that show was. It is also amazing how it hasn't aged. In so many ways, it is still relevant to what is happening today. War never changes and neither does the suffering.

Not sure where Pat and Ken live on Manitoulin but maybe going by road up to Tobermory and then taking the ferry over is an option?
The ferry is likely pricey if you're taking a car but perhaps you could take the bus up the peninsula and be met at the Manitoulin ferry dock? Maybe that route would also take a long time. Not sure...
