Day 1 - Arrival

A slightly wet start
It was a slightly wet and foggy departure, but the bus arrived pretty much on time at 1:00pm (after picking up Team Niagara), and everybody piled on board, no luggage left behind... then off to Toronto, even with a bit of traffic here and there we arrived ahead of schedule.

The efficient CWSF Volunteers checked us in and we were in our rooms in no time - somewhat more modern accomodations than recent years. Off to dinner, and then after dinner some free time to socialize and hang out in the common area. There were various games and things available, though the evil ball thing did catch the attention of many of us. (It may have another name, but I prefer Evil Ball Thing.)
The Evil Ball Things

Everyone was off to bed at a reasonable hour (though some may be watching the hockey game!) and tommorow we start with Project Setups
