Subject: Escape from Montreal! yes, we have FINALLY made it home! I was beginning to think we would not make it. We actually left the city at 11 AM, which was much later than anticipated. When we loaded the car at 6:30 we found our window smashed and my son's camera was gone. I know, I know, how stupid of me to leave it there. And to think I paid for that lovely lot! Anyhow, after filing the police report, we were off to find a repair shop. No way could we drive home like that. First they said they'd squeeze us in, then they said they couldn't, then they squeezed us in and were done even earlier than promised. OY! On our way home, we stopped in Sunapee NH to look at houses Yes Mike, we could be neighbors! LOL By then it has started snowing and it only got worse. Like I said, we left Montreal at 11, and just got in at midnight. I bet we saw at least 2 dozen cars off the road and were almost taken out twice by people who spun out in front of us. It was the most nerve racking drive I've had in a long time. We switched off driving every time we had to stop and scrape the ice off the wiper blades, which was frequently. Michel, it was wonderful meeting you and your lovely wife! I hope she's feeling better by now. We're still raving about that restaurant and you would have loved the Indian restaurant we went to the next night. Oh, on top of the car/camera stuff, the PalmPilot died and we lost the pictures! When it rains it pours I guess. Mike lost all of his diabetes programs but fortunately he syncs it to his computer frequently so he was able to restore them, minus the last few days of course. Anyhow, we'll just have to do that again so we can take more pictures, and next time it will be with the new camera that I now have to buy for Matt. Well, that's it for me, I really need some shut eye. Thanx for missing me! LOL |
