It was easy to get to (I was living in Pennsylvania at the time) but yet it felt like I was worlds away. @thenotestaken I had the good fortune of visiting Montreal a few years ago and I LOVED IT.

I thought this article was great, too, as I have also thought about going solo to Montreal via NY Penn Amtrak, but have not gone so far as to actually take the plunge. You'll have to let us know how it went! @WaityKatie Your comments are relevant to my interests!

I was on my way back to the US after attending a wedding in Montreal. (Im a US citizen.) For whatever reason I was flagged or something at the airport and I had to go into this little side room and answer questions about my stay and what I did in the US. I was nervous and was like, "I went to a wedding but it wasn't my wedding I swear!" Anyway after about 10 mins they let me board my plane. It's never happened to me before or since. @OllyOlly Yeah I also had a weird encounter with Canadian customs. I was on my way back to the US after attending a wedding in Montreal. (Im a US citizen.)

Thankfully haven't been asked how much dairy I have yet. @Michelle I think there’s officially a limit of $20 for dairy products, which I usually triple on my trips to Trader Joe’s.

I wish I remembered the name of the bar! But I know it was on Rue St. Denis, close to the Mont Royal stop. I'm gonna try and retrace my footsteps via Google maps--if I can figure it out I'll let you know :-) @blair Funemploycation = Vocab word I am adding to my dictionary immediately.

For some reason I thought this applied only to plants (?), but that is a rule I probably made up in my head. Swearing off the fruits and veggies for future border-crossings. @Worker Parasite Ahh thanks, that is a good tip!

I lost one night's hotel deposit due to that bastard hurricane and everything shutting down 2 days before it even came. But this time I had a hotels.com coupon for 40 percent off (!) plus I get hotels.com points so after this I will have 2 free hotel days to use on my next trip. (Amtrak had better not let me down again this time...) @She was a retail whore This is my Rescheduled Trip (the first one was cancelled at the literal last minute in Aug. 2011 by Hurricane Irene).
