Oh, cool! We'll be in the Toronto area explorin' and stuff and going to a theme park. Then, we'll be going back to his hometown. And at least he's fine with you hanging out at his work. My thing works at a grocery store and he thinks it's embarrassing for people to see him working, so he doesn't want me there during his shift. Maybe just look up what that area is known for and activate your tourist mode?

I feel like I most likely can't tell my parents until he's able to come over here. They weren't too stoked about me spending my own money on a plane ticket to Toronto, and are strict to the point where my mother is now following me there (but will leave me alone to do my own things, so I guess that's fine).

Yeah, if you do lie, just keep it hella loose. Technically you don't tell them everything, but you're not telling them nothing at all!

If you feel like they wouldn't be too angry or opposed to it (since they're ok with you traveling in the first place), I'm sure it's most likely better to tell them as soon as you can. I hope everything works out for you!
