Janice and I just returned from Toronto, where we went to see Coldplay at Rogers Center. I have been a fan of this band for a long time, and was looking forward to hearing them live. Toronto is only half a day away, and I purchased the tickets three months ago.
Travelling between here and Toronto, we have a few options; we can take the fast route via the highways (like the 401), or we can travel the countryside on smaller highways that take us through
smaller towns ... the latter choice taking a bit longer.
The concert itself was a bit disappointing ... the acoustics from where we sat were horrible, and we didn't even stay until the end of the show. Coldplay put on a great show, but I suspect that Rogers Center is just not a great venue for music.
It was still a nice little two day getaway, with a decent hotel room, a cool trip on the subway, quaint little towns and picturesque villages. The weather was good, and we enjoyed the excursion overall.
I try to look at the bigger picture, and not focus so much on one bad thing wherever possible. I am lucky to be with Janice, and enjoy travelling with her, seeing the world together, experiencing fun and frolic here, there and everywhere. Not everything everywhere all the time can be perfect ... but dwelling on disappointment only makes things worse.
