Day 8 of the 30-Day Blog Challenge...

Day 8: A place you've traveled to

I've traveled to many places. Some of the major cities include Baltimore, New York, Chicago, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Toronto, and Washington DC. There have been many places in between. I think the one I'll choose to talk about is Toronto...

 I went to Toronto during my 8th grade year for a school trip to go see Phantom of the Opera at the Pantages Theater (when I lived in Syracuse, NY). I think its been renamed the Canon Theatre. It was the first (and only) time I had been out of the country. We traveled by bus, and I remember watching the movie Speed on the way (not sure how appropriate that was for a bus trip...). I don't remember exactly how long it took to get there...I'm going to guess and say about 3 hours. We got there a little while before the show started, and I remember trying to buy candy with American money. They accepted it, but I remember it being incredibly confusing. The show was absolutely AMAZING. Phantom is my favorite. I've seen it a couple times, and this one was by far the BEST. For those of you who haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and go. I love the music, in fact my bridal party walked down the aisle to "All I Ask of You" at our wedding. Anyway, unfortunately we did not get to see much of the city since we were a little crunched for time, but the trip itself was a great one that I won't soon forget.

I hope one day we will be able to travel to all sorts of places, including international ones...and preferably a bit further than Canada :)

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
