Montreal Day 1

We have survived our first full day in Montreal! We cleared the contents of our truck through customs where we found out that upright baby walkers are illegal in Canada. But since they had to confiscate that AND we had two little kids, they gave us a break and cleared our car without inspecting it. So, we also retrieved our car from the moving company warehouse and returned our rental car to the airport. (Oh! You may be wondering how we got to our hotel from the airport since we completely filled both of my parents care going to the airport in Madison. We called Zelko Zilik, another prof in Brett's dept at McGill, and he met us in a minivan and drove most of our luggage to our hotel so that we could rent a smaller car. So kind!) We also went to the underground city again and bought Micah a little Air Canada plane. We also got a Bell Canada cell phone plan and new smart phone! Woo! I'm so excited to learn how to use my new smart phone! We made it back to the hotel by 7:45pm to put the kids to bed. Tomorrow (hopefully) won't be as busy.

In addition to all of this, we had two major successes. 1) Brett successfully navigated us from the airport to our hotel without a GPS and without accidentally sending us back to the airport to start over (which happened yesterday). 2) I successfully navigated us to the toy store without completely overshooting it and having to backtrack a whole city block (which happened the last time we went there). Yay!
