Locomotion

When we plan an excursion that involves the airport, I forget that there are several accomodations that go along with having a 'half-pint'. For example, we are invited to jump the queue for security, boarding, and bathroom breaks. I find myself recognizing the humanity of others more as a parent by watching how fascinated complete strangers are by Bird and how quickly enamoured they are to her and she to them.

Montreal was a dreamy spot to be, naturally. A and I found several spots (by chance) that were familiar to us from our last visit there sixteen years ago - which was the summer when we met and became friends. Montreal beauty was constant. The people were fantastic. The food was great, especially our daily continental room service (part of the hotel deal we got) which included fresh croissants, muffins and yummy coffee. Above all, the city was approachable and that made it a real winner with a babe.

I can confidently and knowlingly say that we'd happily take another trip with Birdie. Yes, the extra free seat in our row, both directions, helped. Yes, the posh hotel with stellar service made each day and night much more manageable. Yes, the type of travel we did was a lot more basic. That said, we did it, and we're going to do more. And, we did everything we wanted to, and more! The more we travel, the more we love to do it.

Here are a few pics to keep you going...
