Most trips are a mixture of success and drama. This weekend we went to Montreal and St Jean for Rhett’s Passing Out Parade. <br /><br /> (The Aviation connection is he has joined as a pilot. Tarrant has just passed Basic on Harvard 11s and Sterling is at Western where the CAF is sponsoring his Commercial Licence. He is flying Diamonds.) This was the third Passing ||Out Parade we have attended.<br /><br />The Dramas.<br />Rhett gave us the wrong day. We had to drop everything and get a redeye.<br />Montreal infrastructure falling apart,<br />Slush six inches deep, hopeless snow clearing.<br />Useless signs on highways, each road has about four designations shown at random.<br />They burned down the only boulangerie within half a mile of the hotel the day before we arrived.<br />Inadvertently ran a red light in front of a police car, (between the infrastructure and the stress I didn’t even see it.)<br /><br />The successes.<br />The cop must have felt sorry for the pathetic Western seniors, No ticket!<br />Enterprise Car hire. Decent car. No fuss renting, extended the rental and kept the day rate special.<br />The Meridien Hotel. Boutique, comfortable, ultra friendly, great location, terrific price.<br />The parade at St Jean.<br />Pacinos restaurant. Interesting and elegant, Good food.<br />Bistro Gourmet, petit and round the corner from the hotel. Prix Fixe lunch $10. Just wonderful food.<br />L’Academie on the Crescent. Full of McGill students and their families. Eclectic menu, good food. BYOW. Buzzy, noisy, fun.<br />Universal CafU for breakfast. Plates the size of football fields covered in pancakes, real maple syrup, coffee included.<br />Le Grain de Sel. Very, very special. Delightful menu, fun service, brilliant food. No 1 on Tripadviser and deservedly, but not expensive.<br />Westjet. Changed our flights, gracious helpfulness itself. Every flight spot on time. <br /><br />Altogether More successes than disasters. <br />
