People… People Who Need People…

People really are wonderful. Don’t ever doubt that. When one lets you down, out come a ton of genuine good people that surprise the hell out of you.
I’m going to Toronto in September. My accommodations for part of the time fell through (which I now know is for the best… my gut told me to get out of it last month, but I didn’t listen. Gut is always right, people!!! We have had this discussion before! LOL) I’m so glad it came to a head now and not while I am out there. Anyway, once my accommodations fell through, I started looking for a hotel. I will be able to stay with my cousin part of the time, but because I have a lot of plans for late nights in downtown Toronto, I now want to be central for the first part of my trip. One of my friends in Toronto offered her place as a possibility, but she is insanely busy the weekend I arrive and I’d really feel like an imposition. I figured a hotel would just work best.
So, I sent out a plea for help. Not a plea for “take me in please”, just simply a plea for names of cheap hotels in central Toronto. I sent it to every email address I have for a person in Toronto, or that travels a lot, or may know the answer. I even opened it with “sorry if you don’t know me well, just looking for a quick answer and you may have it…” because I sent it to some musicians I have met out that way (musicians and cheap hotels go together), but certainly don’t KNOW.
