YUL Sat 16Nov02 ~ Dogstar & MPC1 Pay a Visit

Sorry for the late post but I still can't believe our 12-seg AC 60K Promo Run from YVR-YUL via all-points-in-between is upon us tomorrow. MPC1 & I embark on this journey Fri morning & thought we'd post it up just in case a FT Friend:

(a) feels like handing us some food & water as we run from aircraft to aircraft in YYC, YEG, YXE, YWG, & YYZ on Friday; or YYZ, YWG, YQR, YXE, YYC on Sunday; or

(b) would like to meet up in YUL on Saturday at some point.


Itinerary:

YVR-YYC AC0200 15Nov02
YYC-YEG AC8318
YEG-YXE AC8438
YXE-YWG AC8183
YWG-YYZ AC0172
YYZ-YUL AC0434

YUL-YYZ AC0483 17Nov02
YYZ-YWG AC0193
YWG-YQR AC8391
YQR-YXE AC0157
YXE-YYC AC8399
YYC-YVR AC1123

Drop us an email ASAP or keep your eyes peeled for two Run'ers looking like they've done the equivalent of a SIN Run in a Dash-8 ! :-)

Cheers. Dogstar.

$650CDN.

Good value for me 'cuz it essentially completes the necessary segs for the 60K Bonus which I'm converting to a summer high-season ticket for next year's family trip to the UK. And I get a smoked meat sandwich fix @ Ben's this weekend to boot!

Don't go to Ben's for your smoked meat--the truly best place is Swartz's on Blvd. St Laurent where you will also see some interesting culture.That is the true home of smoked meat in Montreal and you will notice the difference.Just in case you didn't know the best way to order is medium fat with greasy fries,a dill and a cherry coke.Then you have lived your life in full.
You could also go to the hockey game on Sat. night and help cheer the Habs on to victory---Empress would want that to happen

Thanks Parnel for the alternate smoked meat sandwich suggestion. I haven't been to Swartz's for years so may just do that. And while I'm "home" I may as well have a Jos Louis & Pepsi at some point to kick my taste buds into overdrive!

I wish I had been thinking ahead as I'd definitely have got some hockey tix to see the Habs kicks someone's butt. It's just not the same as the ol' Forum but it still beats the Canucks. [I get to say that as I cheer for Habs when it's Habs vs. whomever, & Canucks when it's Canucks vs. wnyone other than the Habs. Once a Montrealer, always a Montrealer.] Maybe we'll score some last-minute tix once we land.

Cheers. Dogstar.

PS. Ferrari, remember that it's not the computer's fault, Mac or PC or otherwise. In the "industry" we just call it plain ol' user error.

I guess the old saying still applies--you can take the boy out of montreal but you can't take Montreal out of the boy.
Ah the Habs--they are coming around;cup in 2004!!!!

Now you're seeing the light, since you know it'll be the Leafs in 2003, it might be possible for the Habs in 2004.
