Left Lakefield on Saturday, November 1, 2014 to attend the wedding of Brynn Kennedy and Bradley Wiffen at 5 PM in the Storys Building on Duncan Street in Downtown Toronto. We stayed overnight at  by Marriott on Wellington Street and parked the car at the local Firehall. Moving on November 2, 2014 we stopped for lunch with Katie and David Whitehead in Winona and then a quick stop at Ellie and Jan Lech to pick up a package for Tom and Diana Marsden in Virginia. Crossed the Canada-USA border and spent the night at the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott in Dubois, PA. Arrived at Tom and Diana’s on November 3, 2014 and had fun with Jacob, Hannah and Ben before a 2 hour flight from Norfolk to Miami, Florida on November 5 . We stayed at the Residence Inn near the Miami Airport for the night. November 6/14  We had breakfast at the hotel and a morning walk before taking the Shuttle (complimentary since it was 45 minutes late) to Terminal J at the Miami port to board the SS Naviga
