I’m new to being downtown and work at the First Canadian Place building. I am used to being in a more rural or suburban setting and miss the ability to be outside. With the last bit of summer upon us, I am trying to be outside as much as possible.

Next week Wednesday, the forbidden love of my life will be visiting me for lunch. I haven’t seen her for a tiny bit and we said we’d do lunch. I have an hour but can book off more time in advance so 2 hours is fine if I decide soon. I could chose a restaurant or bar/patio but figured that maybe I can do something more memorable. She’d meet me at my work location.

I have never been to the Island and don’t know if it is a good idea. Maybe a picnic. Maybe we eat something quickly and walk over for something to do.

What are the chances that the ferry is not on time on a Wednesday? I would take a water taxi over.

Any ideas or suggestions are encouraged. Is this a bad idea?
