24hrs in Montreal

We arrived in Montreal without additional delay and went straight to see Great Grandma Bevy. We were so honored that the whole Greenberg clan took the afternoon off from work to spend time with us. We enjoyed some heated games of Chutes & Ladders, a delicious lunch and dinner, and even a post-dinner swim. We retired to our favorite hotel and quickly fell asleep completely oblivious to the local time. Chef Andrew awoke early, eager to make his own waffles and bring up breakfast for the whole family. We had a too-short visit on Friday with Grandma Bevy and an easy flight back to Boston (that had previously been rescheduled – three for three!).

All in all, we felt very accomplished seeing 19 dear family members in nine days, trialing our packing (which worked surprisingly well), trialing doing math on the ipad (which didn’t work very well at all), testing our passports (yes, they worked!), negotiating three time zones, and hoping that if things do come in threes, getting some of our flight issues out of the way. With about 30 flights over the next 10 months, we imagine this is an amuse-bouche of the airline disruptions to come.Läs mer
