We have liftoff!

And so, my friends, after an uneventful seven hour drive to Montréal, we have arrived! We found the hotel, registered, and got my daughter to the dorm, just at four o’clock. We first found out she needed a student ID and it was only open until five, so off the two girls went while guess who was left to move it all in?

So, Mom and Dad became the movers. The weather, predicted to be 22 degrees, was over 30! I sweated continuously for the next few hours while we moved.

There were a great many steps from parking to the front door, and the heaviest stuff went in the first two loads. Good news as the elevator died after load two!

Thankfully she lives on the second floor! I put together a fan we bought for her and sat in front of it for a bit!

A few hours later we were done (for day one).

Back to the hotel, we were unable to use hotel parking as we had a carrier on top of the car and we were too high to fit in the underground. No problem, they said, go see these guys around the corner, they have in and out as long as you have cash! So, after a bit of negotiations with two different places, we secured in and out parking for $100 for the four days. It now cots as much to park as my first car cost to buy! If you live long you’ll see everything!
My daughter came back with us and had a shower while we screwed with the WiFi, which works, it turns out, if you sit on a chair by the front door of the room near the bathroom. It is sort of LoFi!

We did go off to dinner, with only a short time because my daughter needed to get back for a movie night. We rushed through downtown Montreal on a Saturday night looking for great fast food and found it! There was a great noodle place behind a Subway! Fantastic, made as you stand there Asian food. You walked through the Subway to get inside!
We returned my daughter in time and went home.

We texed with her later as she never saw the movie but ended up in a bar with her new found friends! Long Island Ice Tea!

It turns out the dinking age in Quebec is 18!
