Travel - 13 December 2007

I'm from France and I will be there end of January.
I suppose I have to bring some hot clothes (winter coats, hats, gloves..) but my main concern is about shoes: do you people in Canada keep your winter boots during day at the office or meetings (I would feel a bit strange keeping them with a tie & suit) What are your habits?

I have just been reading this fascinating book about all the famous explorers like Columbus, Magalhaes, James Cook. It was really astonishing to read all the hardship people on those ships had to go through at that time. It took Magalhaes 3 months to get from Miss Horn to Mariana Islands without seeng a land. James Cook spend 8 months traveling from England to Tahiti and that was in the mid 18th century. Doesn anyone here have any nautical skills or experience and can give me examples of how long modern days ship journeys take? E.g. cross Atlantic trips or trips from Europe to Asia on a ship. Any comparisons with the journeys I mentioned?

I will be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn by the airport. Is there a spot near there to watch the sunrise?
