Loc, get your float rating, load up your old beat up toyota with gas, oil, stoned wheat thins, and a sleeping bag. about the first week in may aim your car north. northwestern ontario and manitoba is a good place to start. a thousand hours pic under your belt is a lot more valuable in the long run than jumping into the right seat of a navajo or something like that. I know the twin IFR time is beckoning you but some pic time, no matter what it is on, will probably get you into the left seat of that twin sooner!!
good luck!! 18w
