In Montreal @ the Ramada

Arrived in Montreal last night around 9 pm, after racing around Ottawa to do various tasks. Dad, you'll be proud to know that J went to the local MP's office and picked up 46 Canadian pins so that we could hand them out to people. Remember the ones you gave me to take to Greece - those are the ones!
Headed to bed relatively early last night - tried out the earplugs that J brought home from work and discovered they work quite well. This morning one was in bed with me and the other was on the floor, but at least I was able to fall asleep. Before I went to bed I realized that I had forgotten my toothbrush. Jonathan had a brand new one so I used his before he got around to it. He doesn't seem to mind couple germs.
Woke up early this morning, repacked our bags and headed out for breakfast and to find a toothbrush. Montreal traffic was crazy - it took us almost 45 minutes to get to any kind of store that would sell a toothbrush. J was sure we would never make it back for our shuttle to the airport, although I pointed out to him that we had three hours! Plenty of time! Ate breakfast at Zellers and then found a dollar store that was open. I had forgotten to put a luggage tag on my bag so I picked up a Canada flag one at Dollarama.
Our flight leaves tonight at 5:15 pm but J is insisting that we take the 11:30 am shuttle to the airport so that we will get there in plenty of time to get the emergency exit seats.
Hope to post some more once we arrive in Frankfurt tomorrow although I am sure this is the last free internet connection we'll have for a long time!
