Summary:
The facility is located conveniently off the highway. Staff were friendly and helpful. Plane ride was smooth and enjoyable. Beautiful fall colours on the 1000 islands against the backdrop of the water under the sun created the most amazing scenery I have ever seen. You have to do it once in your life!
