Cynthia:  Our visit to Montreal was full of surprises, wasn’t it?

Edd:  I’ll say. Mainly because we had visitors the whole week we were there!

C:  Friends and family don’t come to see us that often in Ecuador. But when we let friends in Canada know our travel plans, they both said, “Oh great! We’ll come over and hang out with you.”

E:  Once again we went against the grain regarding accommodations. We normally stay in an Airbnb located close to major points of interest. You found a great deal at an extended stay hotel, so we booked a studio unit with a king bed and full kitchen.

C:  We weren’t going to be cooking entire meals. But with a nice grocery store nearby, having kitchen amenities for breakfast items and snacks saves time and money.

E:  Our dear friend from Las Vegas who now lives outside of Toronto drove over with her two furry companions the same afternoon we arrived.

C:  I have to mention that her “kids” were such good travelers. It was fun having them join us early...
