Another thing I thought of Deane......usually I am able to get an Aliant/Bell or Irving discount for hotel rooms. If I am able to get a discount, I'll just book X number of rooms so everyone can get the discount as well.

 

No arguing here.

 

Hey guys, fyi Beth and I are 99% in barring any major catastrophes. We're going to do it a little different from everyone else, but we'll be there for QC.

June 30th, Toronto -> QC, stay for a few nights.
July 2/3, QC -> Montreal, stay for a few nights.
July 4/5 -> Montreal to St Albans VT (her parents stay in their cottage on lake Champlain all summer)
7th/8th, home.

We really wanted to do Gaspe and even all the way into NS, but time is an issue for us. I'll update if that changes at all.

 

That's great Kevin, & thanks for the bump....
Somehow I missed Shanes post re the hotel....
That looks great Shane, assuming parking is secure.
& 2-3 nights sounds about right.

 

+1, As long as it's good parking, or we could park in the outskirts as we did before and Taxi into the heart of city.

 

Those are great pics you posted Shane.....
LOL... I just noticed the French cuisine advertised in this pic.......
at least it's "french" fries

 

Good to hear Kevin. Let us know if you make it this way and we'll show you some hospitality.

I agree about finding secure parking. It might be worth a call to get some details when we get closer.

 

We should also find out if there's anything else going on when we're there....
Things fill up pretty fast in QC if something is in town.

I've got a couple of feelers out for an "interesting" drive in the area...
.....nothing conclusive yet though.

 

Good advice. I was thinking the same thing. Especially since we're talking about Canada Day although I don't know how big that will be in QC.

I like the sounds of an "interesting" drive.

 

I got news tonight that I may have to go to Cape Breton during the time of the QC trip. Anissa's grandmother lives in Cape Breton and there is a family get together for the Canada Day weekend. Nothing is carved in stone just yet, but it's possible I might not make the QC trip.

 

So what are you saying, we are all going to Cape Breton instead of QC

 

LOL, just a little detour.

Shane, hope everything works out the way you want.

 

Hey, that would be awesome! Like Deane said, just a slight detour.

It's all just talk right now so nothing is for sure yet. Hopefully it will work out so that we can do both trips.

 

Yes I hope it works out okay Shane.
And we all want to see Ava, remember we were pacing the floor also, during your ticker tape count-down

 

LOL... some detour
- it would be an amazing run though!!!
