Hawaii and Lake Ontario just don't go together... guess if you import some

Absolutely untrue!
As a former Oakville resident in my teens, I can vouch for the Hawaiian
tradition of Lei-giving. Leis are traditionally given to people arriving
and leaving Hawaii meaning love, or friendship.
I can not even begin to count the number of times I've been Lei'd on the
shores of Lake Ontario.
P.S. - have any trails you can recommend in the Barrie (Molson Park Dr.)
area? I plan on spending some quality time there this summer... maybe we can
hook up.
