ME! ME! ME! Since so much of my genealogy leads back to Montreal (I even have a photo of the altar of Notre Dame on my wall) I've been dying to get there!!

Here's a fun fact (at least for me): I am a direct descendant of the first Irishman in Quebec!

OMG, I would love to come. Do you know how long it takes you to drive to Boston, MA or Keene, NH? I could guage a driving time based on those locations. I would prefer to drive so I can bring my machine and tools. Do you need a passport to go from the USA to Canada? If yes, I would have to get one.

I'm in! I've always wanted to visit Montreal and other parts of Canada! I've been in love with Canada from afar. Try to plan a shorter version of the trips advertised in the quilt magazines, most of those are 7 days or more. I can do 4 days, perferrably over a weekend. Friday through Monday or something like that. Most of the tours I've seen advertised offer a tour of the country with a slant on quilting & fabrics. Maybe 1 small quilt class with an inspirational speaker, etc. a tour of the quilt shops, tour of Montreal, any museum's that feature historical textiles/quilts, etc. Do some 'rough' planning and let us know. If there's a group of us, we might be able to get reduced hotel prices, etc.
Kind Regards,
MaryAnna

Uh, Ligia, Houston is almost as far from Montreal as Los Angeles is from Hawaii.

I think passports are needed to go from US to Canada, so I'd best get on the stick. It sounds like fun! Now to see how that fits in the schedule...
