I’m off to Montreal tonight and I have to say I don’t think I have ever been more excited about anything. My dad’s whole side of the family lives in Montreal and I’ve visited a couple of times before (and I’ve absolutely loved it every single time), but this is the first time I will be going where I am a) legal, therefore able to go to pubs and bars that my father went to growing up and b) old enough to venture out on my own and do what I want to do (also this is awesome because I am old enough to know where in the city I want to go to, instead of just going places my parents think I will enjoy). There are so many things I want to do, so many things I want to learn. I am excited to spend a week with my father as well as part of my family that I never get to see. Words cannot even express what I am feeling right now. I get on a plane and I may just pee myself with excitement. 

Growing up, Montreal was always the place I wanted to be. It’s still where I think I want to be, and this trip will help me figure out if I want to make any of it an actuality.
