I woke up this morning and it finally hit me, tomorrow I leave for Montreal! Oh my goodness I'm so excited! This past weekend was packed full with shoots, assisting at a wedding, dinner with family and friends, and day dreaming about the week ahead!

Once my flight was booked a month ago I started brushing up on my French, but I quickly realized that I needed to start at the beginning, meaning I can pretty much say "un garcon" which won't help me much, unless I'm wanting to adopt a little French boy. Which I don't! But I'm so looking forward to being immersed in the Quebec French language and culture - Poutine and bagels heck ya!

Today I've mentally listed the clothes I want to pack, which shoes to bring, what songs to import onto my iPod, and which book to throw into my carry-on. But once I thought about my carry-on I started to get a little nervous, cause you see I want to take a few things with me in it, but those things are quite heavy. Like my camera, laptop, particular lenses, plus you know the other things you need to get you through a 5 hour flight! And the carry-on I was going to take, I can hardly lift it into the back of the car, let alone over my head to put in a compartment in an airplane!

Then I thought, I'll just have Adam help me! But then again, I stopped on that thought too, cause this is the first time I'll be flying solo...ever! Adam is my travel partner, the one who I wake up to entertain me, who talks me through turbulence, and who gives up his window seat so I can watch the world fly by! Umm, who's going to give up their window seat for some girl who can't even deal with her own carry-on! I'm so doomed!

But I just have to remember that on the other end of the flight I'll be picked up by some awesome friends and we're going to have a week full of fun and adventure. I just hope they know that I have my little heart set on some Gnocchi Poutine at the Macaroni Bar!

Here are some photos from our trip to Montreal last year which I completely forgot to blog!
