| Me with my new passport! |
Wow, what a busy day! So.. Aunt Denice had a business trip scheduled for Montreal, Canada and she asked me to go. How cool! But... I didn't have a passport, so we had to get one quickly. A passport is a small book that you get from the US government that lets you travel to other countries. Although Canada is close to the US, you still need a passport to travel to and from this other country.
Montreal is the 2nd largest city in all of Canada. They not only speak English there, but French as well. I find it interesting as they kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet each other. Very different. I am not so much into kissing (especially girls!) so I am not sure how I feel about that part. But I think I generally like Montreal. They tell me there is a mountain not too far from our hotel and we may check that out in the morning.

| Checking in at the airport gate |
So our day started out by leaving home around 7:30 this morning. We then drove to Denver, so that we could fly out to Montreal. The Denver airport is large, but we navigated it pretty easily. We arrived about 90 minutes prior to our flight. We had to check in at the gate to show them our passport (that's me over there on the left getting ready to do just that), then we just sat and waited for our plane to arrive.

| That's our plane! |
Although a bit late, our plane did finally arrive. It was smaller than I imagined, but it still amazes me that it can fly from Denver, CO to Montreal in just over 3 hours! That is more than 1,800 miles. If we would have driven there, it would have taken us over 29 hours.. wow, planes amaze me.

| Chillin' in our hotel room |
Well, I think it is time for me to go to sleep. I have been hanging out in my hotel's bed, propped up with the remote to the TV next to me, and updating this blog with Aunt Denice's laptop. I do like this business travel thing.. my own TV/remote control and this bed is crazy comfy :-)
Until my next update, good night!
