Seems odd that I didn’t expect a few issues driving over a thousand miles home…but I think our trip home may take the cake. Based on our arrival into Montreal, I figured that an early departure would help avoid the crazy traffic. We left around 5 in the morning and exited the city without issue. Aces! The lady in the Garmin told us we’d be to Niagara Falls shortly after Noon – faster than we had figured. The first few hours of our trip were turning up roses! Then the storm clouds rolled in (oh, the drama….).

As we approached Toronto, it started to rain. And, when I say ‘rain’, I don’t mean something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hziG9Nr6KHU&feature=fvst. Instead, it POURED. Like, 40 days and 40 nights POURING. Consequently, traffic slowed to a crawl. We sat…and sat…and sat…and watched as the lady in the Garmin updated our arrival time from 12:05 to 12:10 to 12:20 to 12:45. My tolerance for traffic jams is minimal. Calley was a sport for not only listening to me complain, but also for making me laugh about a not-so-honeymoon-like situation.

As we emerged from Toronto, traffic began to lighten…and so did the rain. Things were looking up again! We followed the signs towards Niagara Falls, where a Wisconsin Dells-like city and a jacuzzi suite awaited our arrival. The lady in the Garmin told us to turn right onto Stanley Avenue…as we did, we could see our hotel in the distance. Claiming to be the tallest hotel in the city, we were sure we were close. And we were. It all suddenly changed, though, as we pulled alongside a stopped casino tour bus, we were met by a 20-something driving a SUV looking to turn left in front of the bus. Instead of waiting for the bus to pass by, she decided to risk not seeing what might be in the second southbound lane and creep out into traffic. As we approached the front of the bus, we saw her. On the rain-slicked roads, it was simply not possible to stop. I stood on the brakes, but my only choices were to 1) hit her, or 2) drive us into oncoming traffic. I chose option #1.

Calley screamed…I, no doubt, said a few choice words…and we braced for impact. We hit and the car was suddenly filled with smoke from the airbags going off. Somehow we crossed the two oncoming lanes of traffic without being hit and landed in the rock garden of the lovely Falls View Inn Motel (see right). Within seconds, we heard the voice of OnStar calling to make sure we were ok. I’ve never driven a car with OnStar before and was quite impressed by a Knight Rider-like voice asking us if we were ok after an accident. We were ok. Shaken and bruised, but ok. Our only causality was our GPS. The poor lady in the Garmin (see below). The other driver was also ok and immediately admitted that it was 100% her fault. This pleased my insurance agent…and the Niagara Falls Police Department, who issued her a citation (much to the dismay of her father).

So, how did these freaks get your email address in the first place? Well, generic price viagra I’m not really sure. The cavalry arrived: police, firefighters, paramedics. I have to say…after everything we went through, the guys that came to assist us were, by far, some of the nicest people we’d met on our trip. They took great care of us and kept us in good spirits as we dealt with the accident. Hertz delivered us a new car and American Family Insurance got on the case to deal with the situation. Reflecting back on it, I suppose that if it had to happen, it happened in the best possible circumstances: everyone involved was ok, it wasn’t our car, it wasn’t our fault, and it didn’t impact our travel plans.

Despite the wreck, we had a great time at Niagara Falls. We tried our luck in the casinos and managed to double our money (if only we had invested more than $20). Still, it was enough to help pay for our dinner and we got some great views of the Falls. As touristy as it is in the Falls, it really is a beautiful place.

The next day, we knew we had a long drive ahead of us. I have to admit that after the accident (my first ever), I was slightly nervous to get behind the wheel again…especially to drive 11+ hours. Our new car – the mighty Toyota Camry – capably took us across the border and, before we knew it, we were well on our way home. This may come as a surprise to you but….Indiana is boring. No, really. It’s BORING. But, we made it through…just in time for Friday evening rush hour traffic in Chicago. Believe us, we actually planned to avoid this, but we still managed to arrive in Chicago just in time to creep through it at a rate of 5 mph. By the way, did you know that Chicago drivers don’t know how to read signs that say “Left Lane Ends. Merge Right”? It’s true. To them, they just see hieroglyphics. It’s a shame, really…because if they could read those signs, it might result in rush hour moving faster. Just sayin’….

We finally made it out of Chicago and into Milwaukee without issue. While the trip was a harrowing experience, it has undoubtedly left us with some great stories to share. In the end, I don’t think Calley or I would have changed anything about our trip….well, minus the accident. Still, we had a blast and loved every second of being together!

Yesterday we took the subway into Old Montreal. Their subway system is pretty easy to use and very fast. Once we figured out where we were, we wandered toward the heart of Old Montreal where we found shopping and museums. We came across the cathedral of Notre Dame – it was beautiful. We decided to skip the guided tour and just admire the building from the outside.

Much of Montreal was either under construction or undertaking major restoration projects. Many of the streets were ripped up and a number of the historical buildings were covered in scaffolding. I suppose that buildings dating back to the 17- and 1800′s require a fair amount of maintenance and upkeep.

We took some cobblestone side streets and came across a cute Mexican restaurant – Casa de Mateo. Given our bad Mexican food experience the other day (see post re: stale chips), we had high hopes that Mateo could redeem the cuisine. He did. Both our meals were excellent.

After lunch, we walked towards the water. Montreal is apparently built on an island of intersecting rivers. We read in one of our tourist books (thanks Jackie and Tayce) that the geographic layout of the city and the direction the rivers flow mean that streets labeled east/west actually go north/south and vice versa. We’re still not sure why this is and reading the explanation just caused more confusion. Coupled with the fact that nearly every street is one-way, we were glad we were on foot.

Down by the water, it was creepily quiet and empty. It looks as though the city has invested a lot of money to fix up the old port of Montreal, but no one was there. There were a few restaurants and a huge pier, but only seagulls and some random tourists to enjoy it.

We walked inland hoping to find an entrance to the famed underground city of Montreal we’d heard so much about. We stopped at the tourism office to ask about it and learned it’s as simple as finding a subway station and, “that’s it – you’re there.” We were recommended to head towards Rue St. Catherine as that was the shopping district of the city and from there we would find underground shopping malls, etc. Seems simple enough, right? Wrong. We did find Rue St. Catherine and did see that it, in fact, does have stores along it (many of which were of the… ummm… ‘adult’ variety….apparently zoning laws aren’t much of an issue in Montreal), but we could not for the life of us find a subway entrance. Eventually we found ourselves on the campus of the University of Montreal and were able to get underground from there. Maybe our expectations were too high, but once below ground, we found only a few stores that resembled those you’d find in an airport terminal.

Perhaps we missed out on something big and someone will respond to this post saying “ooohhh, the malls were just one subway entrance over! You were SO close!” Since we were so close to the subway, we figured we’d just head back to the Plateau and take a rest at the condo. Once we returned to our neighborhood, we both remarked how it felt like we were ‘home’ – an interesting comment given that we’ve only been here a few days. Still, I think we both felt more comfortable in the neighborhood we were staying in and were glad we didn’t end up in a hotel downtown.

After a brief nap and a few episodes of Iron Chef, we were hungry for dinner. Just around the corner from the condo is a Frite Alors restaurant. It’s a burger bar and the closest American equivalent is AJ Bombers or Cafe Hollander in Milwaukee, if you’re familiar. French fries are their specialty and there were close to a dozen different sauces you could try. The food was delicious…far from healthy, but oh-so good.

Today is our last full day in Montreal :( I think the plan is to do some laundry here at the condo and then pack. We also have some food we need to grill before we leave, so I think lunch and dinner are covered. We leave bright and early tomorrow morning for Niagara – about 8 hours away.

Yesterday was spent wandering around the Plateau neighborhood some more. We think we’ve seen most it now and feel that we have a good sense of how the city is laid out. We stopped for a mid-afternoon snack along Rue St. Denis at a cute little outdoor diner. We sat outside and had a glass of wine and some bruschetta. An interesting ingredient included in a lot of Canadian cooking: vinegar. They use it like ketchup here and it’s actually not bad on french fries. We could definitely taste the vinegar in our buschetta.

After a little more wandering, we came across a Mexican restaurant that had stale chips and bad salsa. We didn’t stay there long. On our way back to the condo, we came across a bar called Barraca that caught my eye. To our delight, the 20-something bartenders both spoke excellent English and spoke with us the entire time we were there. They even treated us to a drink on the house when they learned we were on our honeymoon…or maybe it was when they learned we were from Milwaukee. They seemed to have heard of the Brew City. Go figure. One of the bartenders, Louis, gave us some recommendations for good places to eat and some great non-touristy things to do in Old Montreal. Interestingly, we also learned from Louis that the neighborhood we’re staying in is the heaviest French-speaking neighborhood in the city. He said that as we explore other areas of the city, we’ll have absolutely no problem with the language barrier. This was good news to us, though we really haven’t had any language issues so far.

We took Louis’ advice and headed to an Italian restaurant called Misto for dinner. It was fantastic. A bit on the pricey side, but our meal was excellent. Calley had a “mexicalifornia” pasta dish and I had grilled salmon with a safron risotto. So good!

Today we’re going to take Montreal’s subway system for a whirl (speaking of, Subway restaurants are HUGE here…they’re like McDonalds in the States…seems there’s one on every corner!) and head to Old Montreal. Sounds like there are a lot of museums and things to do down there. We may try a restaurant called Gibby’s that was recommended to us by a co-worker or head back to the Plateau and check out another one of Louis’ recommendations – Le Chien Fumant.

Even in Montreal there’s no escaping Regis and Kelly, so this is a perfect time to do some blogging. Yesterday we spent more time exploring the neighborhood we’re staying in. They call this neighborhood “Plateau Mont-Royal,” and various web sites agree that it’s probably the most “trendy and hip” neighborhood in the city. So, we’re a bit out of place here ;) It’s full of diners, restaurants, coffee shops, and boutique shopping. We stopped at a coffee shop in the morning for our morning pick-me-up and a breakfast sandwich. Then we wandered down Lauier Street and found a cool women’s clothing shop where Cal found a really cute dress. I awkwardly paced through the store while she tried it on.

After some shopping, we stopped by the grocery store and picked up some food for the week. We were surprised by the low cost of meat. We picked up some pork chops and chicken breasts for just a few dollars (by the way, the exchange rate here is darn close to 1 to 1 with the US Dollar being just a bit stronger). Dairy products, on the other hand, were super expensive. Though from the commercials on TV, the Canadians are super proud of their Canadian milk.

We really loved how we could walk to a grocery store, walk a few blocks and be back at the condo to put our groceries away. This is definitely a city that doesn’t require a car for transportation…though cars are everywhere here. Nearly every street in this neighborhood is one-way, with cars packed on either side of the street.

As we wandered, we found Laurier Park (right) and sat on a bench for a while. The weather has been chilly and rainy here, but the sun popped out for a little while as we were walking through the park. We stopped at a cheese shop adjacent to the park and met a very nice guy named Andre who seemed proud of his city and excited at a chance to practice his English (which was excellent, by the way). He told us a lot about the neighborhood and gave us some good recommendations of local beers – even told us where to find a local microbrewery nearby. Andre seemed so happy to talk to us and help us learn about his city. He was, by far, the nicest local we’ve met so far.

We grilled out pork chops, potatoes, and asparagus for dinner. Then we watched Jaws The Revenge. A word of advice, if I may: don’t EVER watch Jaws The Revenge. It’s a horrible movie. Truly. Horrible. It was, however, Mario Van Peebles’ best performance. Hands down.

Our plans for our return home are set, as well. We found a great deal at the Hilton Niagara Fallsview (on the Canada side). Niagara is about 8 hours from Montreal, so it’s a perfect place to stop on our way home.

Today the forecast calls for thunderstorms, so we’ll see how that impacts our day. We definitely want to take the subway downtown at some point and check out some museums. Depending on the weather that will either be today or tomorrow. We’ll keep you posted!

It was a gorgeous morning when we left Sudbury, Ontario, for the last leg of our journey to Montreal. The lady in the Garmin told us it would be an 8 hour trip. We continued east (or ‘est’ if you’re in Canada) along Trans-Canada 17, a lovely two-lane road that crisscrossed some of the most beautiful countryside either of us had ever seen. Note the pictures below of Lake Nipissing. It was an awesome sight…plus it has a super cool name. Nipissing. It made us giggle, but we don’t like to show our mature side TOO often.

We stopped for breakfast at Zellers, which is like a Canadian Target. Yes, it has a restaurant in it. So, I guess that makes it more like a Canadian Wal-mart. Still, the food was good and we enjoyed the company of the 70-somethings around us. When we stopped for gas, I had my most amazing Canadian experience of the trip so far. Like a moron, I’m wearing a “Wisconsin Grilled Cheese Academy” t-shirt (give me a break, it was free). I gave the guy my card to pay and he looked at my chest and said, “traveling from the States, eh?” While I absolutely adored the way he spoke to me, I was forced to hang my head and utter “yeah…”. Stupid American. Calley found this most amusing.

We stopped outside Ottawa at a sports bar for lunch. I think we could probably catch the Packer game there…alas, it would be a 2 hour drive. As we approached Montreal we learned two things: 1) traffic is extremely heavy – even at 4:30 in the afternoon on a Saturday, and 2) Montrealers drive like jackasses. Getting to the condo was a bit of a white-knuckle experience, but we made it. Once we got here, we were so pleased! The condo exceeded our expectations – it’s beautiful! The place is decorated out of the pages of the Potterybarn catalog (which makes Calley feel right at home). We immediately unpacked and made ourselves at home.

Our first meal in Montreal was Thai. While that may make no sense, the food was delicious and our little waiter dude was super accommodating with our lack of mastery of the French language. The trip to the convenience store to buy a bottle of wine was a bit of a different experience, but Cal was able to get us through it. The neighborhood we’re staying in reminds me very much of the East Side of Milwaukee – lots of little restaurants, art galleries, etc. Everyone seems to keep to themselves, which is ok. We’re used to making eye contact with people walking down the sidewalk and exchanging pleasantries. People here seem to want nothing to do with that, but they don’t come off as ‘rude’ by any means.

Tomorrow we hope to explore more of the city. There are a few parks nearby and we found an awesome little diner that’s calling our name for breakfast. We also found a grocery store so we can buy some food to take advantage of the gas grill and beautiful outdoor patio.

Bon soir!

First off, thanks so much to everyone who joined us as we celebrated our marriage on Sunday! It was so great to see all of you and we appreciate all of your love and support.

This morning Calley and I left bright and early (5 a.m.) on our honeymoon. Destination: Montreal. Our chariot, a Chevy Impala (named Inigo), has capably ushered us to Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, where we’re spending the night in a very nice Holiday Inn.

We made great time getting to the U.P. – we were enjoying a delicious egg mcmuffin in Escanaba by about 9:00. Beyond that, the rest of our drive was on a two-lane road. Fortunately those two lane roads add an extra lane every 10-20 miles so that you can pass trucks. A wonderful idea…in theory. As I learned, a very responsive Chevy Impala combined with a heavy-footed driver excited to see a passing lane can add up to trouble….in the form a Michigan state trooper. Fortunately for us, the trooper was extremely nice and his face actually seemed to brighten when he found out that we were on our honeymoon (aces!). After reviewing both of our licenses, he returned to my window and said, “I’m sure your wedding cost you enough money, so I won’t take anymore from you.” What a guy! I dodged a bullet on that one…and, needless to say, I learned my lesson and have kept the cruise at no more than 5 mph over the posted speed limit. Like a good boy.

We cruised through Customs…we pulled the honeymoon card again with the Customs agent who didn’t seem to care one bit when I mentioned that we had beer and wine in the trunk. I guess if we had said there were firearms back there, she may have taken more interest. Once in Canada, we stopped for lunch at a Tim Horton’s restaurant…seems to be a chain here. We had some yummy toasted chicken sandwiches. We upgraded to the combo thinking we’d get chips or french fries. Nope – you get a doughnut. Weird.

The Trans-Canadian freeway is beautiful….the leaves are already starting to turn up here. Interestingly, the speed limit (this seems to be a theme with me…hmmm…) on their freeways is 90 kilometers per hour, which is about 60 miles per hour. It makes for slow progress compared to what we’re used to in the US.

We arrived in Sudbury around 5:30. Apparently we are “priority club” members with Holiday Inn, which is good for a free cookie at check-in and a coupon for a free appetizer. We made short order of both. We enjoyed a drink and some really good food at the hotel bar.

And now it’s time to call it a night. It’s been a long day! We’re super excited to get to Montreal tomorrow (another 8 hours in the car). We’ll do our best to post to the blog daily so you can keep up with our adventures.
