Drive by reporting

When do you pick up the other two members of your group? And the weather looks worse than that in the UK

Enjoy your time over there boys

Oh WoW!
Now I'm getting REALLY scared for my, (only 2 hour before the concert) arrival....
What if my plane won't make it on time?!
I'll cry....

Choiretto, I have an important advise to give to you :
We just went from thr airport after having collected the third member of our group.
Experience shows us tha there is a great delay to expect between the landing and the exit of all controls !

In my case it was fast, 10-15 minutes to pass the customs and retreive my luggage. But for Paul30003 and FranÃ§ois this took them about 50 mn for Paul, and about 1 hour for FranÃ§ois, due to number of people waiting at customs and the very very long luggage delivery.

So my advise is : be prepare yourself to immediately rush to a taxi while you exit the controls, have the St Michael Cathedral address writen on a paper, and have Canadian Banknotes ready to pay the Taxi. Expect to have your luggage with you at the concert, I imagine this can be let somewhere along a wall...
Otherwise, if you first go to your hotel, I very worry for you being late at the concert...
Between possible plane delay, durations of the border controls and luggage delivery, and traffic congestion to reach the center of Toronto, many possibles problems are on your road, so maybe you should avoid to add the journey to your hotel, and reach directly the concert

Without saying than the latter you will arrive at the concert, the farrer you will sit.

It's funny, really, but in British Columbia (just a different province in Canada) we have an excelent weather today!

No rain, just sunshines!

I hope there is enough room in that car for Viabuona's Alpine horn

Did Francois manage to keep the reason for his trip to Canada from his girlfriend or did she rumble him in the end?

Itâ€™s nice to see that everyone is getting ready for the first concert. Iâ€™m afraid I have to wait until Tuesday night in Chatham.

Iâ€™m about 225 miles west of Toronto. The weather here is beautiful today. It looks like conditions in Toronto for the Thursday concert should be similar to what Iâ€™m seeing now. You should see mostly sunny weather with about 57F / 14C for the high temperature.

Wow! St Michaels looks beautiful!! Wish I could attend that concert, as well as the rest!! I'm really jellous of everyone going to all of them

Look forward to seeing everyone again (or meeting you for the first time if I haven't already!) next Friday

I'm not sure how prepared for the weather I'll be though! As it's about 90*F // 32*C here, and it's suposed to keep getting hotter all week! Not to mention that I don't even own a coat or jacket!

Well I'm also arrived and as a VIP my Driver and my two bodygards picked me up at the airport and brought me to the hotel.
Canada-Tour can start

Thank you VERY MUCH fan_de_LoK, but I won't stay in hotel.
I'm staying in the airport for 16 hours after the concert, sleeping the night and all - all in the airport!

Plus, I won't have any luggage! Just a backpack....

And I'm hoping to catch a shuttle bus from terminal 3 to Younge University (which is... 500m from St. Michael's!)

And... of course! I've got a G/A Premium...!

Thanks for your care! I very much appreciate it!
Hope to see you there!

Haha, nice!

Our neighbor actually just recently got that same car, and it's pretty fancy!
Glad all 4 of you are there safe and sound!
Hope everyone going tomorrow enjoys the concert and has a blasttt!! If it's not too much to ask, will anyone be able to either take a picture/video or the meet and greet order (assuming there will be one) or just write down the order of the boys? I have gifts/requests from other people and I want to have those things in order ready to give to/say to the boys!

In addition :
- Viabuona succed to exit the controls after only 25 minuts,
- but us three were a little late to welcome him, due mostly to big traffic congestion at West Toronto,
- and when leaving the airport to go back to our hotel there was still big traffic jams in both direction, to and from Toronto !
