  1. dont know if everyone has seen this yet so i wont say much about it but i do wonder if they will continue on with the pirate tales? i think if they can get back the entire cast($$$$$) then they have a chance but i wish they would have closed this book forever without loopholes to dive through into 7 more movies..... anyway i liked it alot and cant wait to see it again on DVD when it arrives....

Here's one small town where we got to get out during a delay: In Montreal we stayed at the YWCA (Y des Femmes) hostel, which allows men to stay there too.

We immediately liked the nearby Mont-Royal, the hill the Montreal is named after, which is very broad and has walking paths all over it. I read that it was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed Ne…
