I realize now that I've been getting way too excited about the trip. I brainstormed some pretty wild ideas. I just want to say don't be scared. We're not going to do everything I want to do and we'll have time to relax. You will have time alone to rest and do whatever you want. We can just sit and chat. We don't have to go to every museum and attraction.

Can you give any clues on hotels nearby? Babblemail is fine....

Are you angry with me?
I'm staying at a hostel. It's $29 CAD a night.

I found some restaurant reviews. Would this be of use?

> How is the ethical approval coming along regarding Babblers participation at the APA?
Thanks for the reminder, I've been busy...
The Social and Behavioral Sciences IRB determined earlier this month that this workshop does not in itself constitute research and so does not require review and approval by the IRB. But a systematic investigation designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge based on the workshop would be considered research subject to review and approval by the IRB.

I don't know if this matters to anyone, but FYI, I think the "owner" of a Yahoo Group has access to the email addresses of its members. If everyone's comfortable with a poster in that position, that's fine with me, but if anyone would prefer, I'd be happy to set up another one myself...

Sorry. I started with ClearSkys because I know she knows the area. Then added Lar 'cause I know he's already booked - then added poet and falls 'cause I already met them - and then ran out of space.
No offense - I did a hostel once a few years ago. I think I'm too old for that.

It doesn't bother me.
But - Lar already has my email address anyway.

Sorry, AuntieMel - I only know about prickly family members' homes as places to stay in the area. You'd think I would have checked into a hotel years ago while visiting but <bangs head against wall>
Generally speaking, the farther from downtown, the less expensive a hotel should be. As long as there is a subway stop close by, though, you shouldn't find it an inconvenience. Stay away from accommodations near the airport; wayyyy too far to travel.

None taken. :-)
This is going to be my first hostel experience. I hope it will be OK. Should I bring my own linen and towels? I'm pretty sure I need to bring my own soap and shampoo. On the plus side, they do serve a pancake breakfast! :-)

I think I did bring sheets and towel. You might want to check. They're all different.
The one I stayed in was in Switzerland, so who knows if it's like the ones over here.

Dr. Bob, in the program schedule one of the lectures has David Suzuki as one of the lecturers. Is it *the* David Suzuki? OMG. Is it *the* David Suzuki? He's like one of the greatest Canadians who ever lived.
It's on Monday in our time slot. :-( :-(
Is anyone besides me interested in attending the other workshops? I don't want to be alone. Are we all going to do something fun after our workshop?
Dr. Bob, when are you going to join us in fun?
Dr. Bob, am I going to stand out in the crowd? Will I look like I don't belong? Dr. Bob, I don't feel grown-up. What if I can't act like a mature person?

I'm going to do what Dr. Bob wants me to do, focus more on making the trip a fun experience for all rather than just focusing on Dr. Bob.
I'm going to think about different things we can do. I'll do some research on this.
I can't wait for the trip! It'll be so cool. :-)

Well, two things, actually.
{shhhh....don't tell, but.....} I made my reservations, and now I'm scared and doubting my decision a little. Not too much, just some. Like should I really do this? What if people don't like the IRL 10der? What if I act like a nervous dork? On the other hand, I'm very excited and Toronto looks so beautiful and interesting (only been to Canada once when I was 15, and only for 2 days)!
Second thing - I just got a *feeling* you wanted to post something new on this thread....am I right? ;-)

I keep thinking I will make a fool of myself, but, I'm so excited about the trip that none of that matters anymore. I don't care if I make a fool of myself. :-) We like you here, there is no reason why we wouldn't like you in real life because, well, we like you already! You are *you* whether here or in real life. :-)
> On the other hand, I'm very excited and Toronto looks so beautiful and interesting (only been to Canada once when I was 15, and only for 2 days)!
Me too. I'm excited about my first trip by myself. I've been to Toronto several times, but never on my own.
> Second thing - I just got a *feeling* you wanted to post something new on this thread....am I right? ;-)
LOL, thanks for replying to this thread. I just wanted to get people into writing about the trip again. :-)

Yay! I'm so happy people are really doing this. :-)
I made my reservations too. I haven't bought my bus tickets yet.

oh drat...I usually don't resort to the word thingie (is it a word?), but after two midterm exams today my brain is mush and I can't think what things are called!Are you still going to set that up? Or should I (we?) start Babblemailing each other? I'd like to communicate safely about this trip, in everyone's comfort zone, etc...
Not trying to rush anyone. Just being my dorky self ;-)

I've set it up. If you'd like to attend the party (whether or not you'd like to attend the workshop), please post a note to this thread, and I'll send an invitation to join the Yahoo Group to the email address you used to register here.
Based on the last few posts, I'll start with:
