So yesterday we bid farewell to the sun drenched capital…. well it was overcast, but warm and muggy, garbage day too, not sure of any significance in that??? We did notice on our stay the state of many of the roads, you get quite a jolt if the driver does not know the street and is driving a wee bit faster than is prudent. A good move on our part [at Fran’s insistence] was to get to the airport way too early. For some reason we had ‘business class’ tickets, so we had the code to the ‘maple leaf’ lounge. What a cool place, both for the air-conditioning, the free goodies and the free bar.
Then on the flight there were the wide seats, major leg room, free food, more booze. It all made the short wait on the [Montréal] tarmac to get to the gate, then the overly long wait for our luggage more tolerable.
The smells of the big city never fail to test the senses, fortunately the other delights soon take over, we spent a pleasant hour listening to live jazz before retiring late.
