Ruby's job takes her places
once or twice a year.
I used to have that.
but usually to places within Canada.
That too.
Ruby hates travelling alone.
So she usually asks me to go with her.
And I am usually more than happy to oblige.
It's pretty much a win, win, win, win situation.
Wow! I have something definitely in common with her! Fran used to travel with me on stuff like that.
I didn't know it at the time,
but there was a big fringe benefit to that.

Oh... wait....
Sorry.
Like I said.
I didn't take notes.
That didn't actually happen, now that I think of it.
How did i know this?
You know. I could never work airport security.
At least not the person who looks at the X-rays.
There's no way I could keep my mouth shut.
OMG! I can't believe if a screener did this!
I find the restroom and ...
there's a wait?
What?
I'm a dude.
I don't wait for restrooms!
See? How do youlike that? Welcome to our world!
But just once... Once!
I'd like my bag to be first.
I would grab it and smugly look at everyone else
with their vaguely panicked expressions
("Did my bag make it???")
as I march off in triumph.
You know you want to do that.
Yes. Yes you do.
I would just like to make it to the baggage claim to SEE the first bag come up!
This is from the hotel website
(as is the above photo of the hotel)
but it's exactly what our room looked like
(well... before we messed it up, anyway.)
Different view, too.
Whatever.
Nice.
1. A lot of people smoke.... A lot.

2. While there are a lot of smokers,
there are just as many people exercising.
Running, walking, bicycling, skateboarding, rollerblading.
Crazy people.
Finding Doris????
(With the voice of Anne Dorval!! (who?))
Google reveals she is evidently quite a celebrated actress in Quebec.

...while I settled on
a hot dog poutine.
Sounds kinda gross on the outset, but actually possibly rather tasty!
SWMBO

The view inside:
Crickets.
(it was still early. It filled up as we sat.)
Now you tell me.
My spaghetti unfortunately was just okay.
I make much better.
I usually have that problem too.
It was starting to get late
and with the entire nightlife of Montreal
at our disposal...
We went back to the hotel and rented a movie.
Sounds about as lively as us, except we wouldn't bother renting the movie.
Okay...
"So I guess I can go to Disney with you."


Me: "There's a Disney 3 day cruise that leaves on the 16th.
It might be a good way to try it out. See if we like it."
She thought that was a good idea.
So we've gone from zero to HOLY CRAP in 24 hours.
Cool! So you're looking at the Dream?
Don't get too excited yet.
Not sure if we can find a flight to get us there before
the cruise departs.
Working on it.... working on it...
I would hope so. That's two months away!
Here's a recent photo of
two kitchen mooches pooches.
Cuties!
