Montreal, The Trip, Day 1

Will be blogging a bit about our trip to Montreal, taking you through some day by day stuff we did.

Sunday we leave...a pretty early flight, but considering it is about 10 hours of travelling and a 3 hour time difference, the early part is fine.

We took Northwest airlines, and the flight was great...1st into Detroit, where we had about an 1 1/2 hour layover, then to Montreal. We got to the hotel about 8:30, pretty pooped, and just wanted a meal a shower and a bed. Since we did not know our area at all, we ate at the hotel, The S Restaurant at the St. Sulpice Hotel. This place actually got rated pretty well in some Montreal guides.

Well, it was an expensive meal. The menu was all pricey, and the wine pricier. But as worn out as we were, we weren't going to complain. We both had different cuts of steak, mine with a gorgonzola sauce. For the price, it coulda been better...too much gristle, thought the sauce was nice. Sharlynn like her filet minon. Service was spotty, forgetting my martini, not giving us silver service twice.

After dinner we walked a block or two to see if there was anyplace we could go for breakfast in the morning, and found a shop open were we got a bottle of wine. We stayed in Vieux Montreal, the old area with cobblestone streets and just that little walk made us look forward to the next day of exploring this charming city.
