Boomerang'ed to Montreal

Andy here, I'm back in Montreal for the next four days. On my own this time, I think Jo's glad to have the car for a while. The kids are on their last week of summer holidays as they go back to school next Tuesday, Monday being the Labour Day holiday (awesome! holiday weekend!). Our weekend is looking busy as Toronto has a 'Melbourne Show' style event going on at the moment called the Canadian National Exhibition (or CNE for short). There's cultural displays, rides, fireworks and an airshow. An F-22 Raptor is performing on Saturday (1st time ever outside the US) and there's also going to be an F-117 Stealth fighter flying, both of these aircraft have never made it to the Avalon airshow back home so that should be cool. Also planning on going to the local drive-in theatre, maybe Sunday night, should be a hoot as we've never taken the kids to a drive-in.

Anyways I flew up this morning so I'm pretty stuffed after a 5am wake up call, luckily work wasn't too stressfull today so that's a good thing. I was going to go out for dinner and hit Baton Rouge, the outstanding ribs place, but it's a bit of a walk from the Hilton and I don't think I can be stuffed frankly. NFL pre-season is underway and the Greenbay Packers play the Cincinatti Bengals in about 40 minutes, so I might just order room service, raid the mini bar and settle in for the game. Yeah, there's a plan.

Andy out.
