view from our room
well, we are back from montreal. our flight time going was 3.5 hours, flight time back was 5. the last time i had a 5 hour flight i was heading to hawaii... sounds good right about now, eh calgary???
my green card hoop-la is complete. it was fairly easy. we showed up at the consulate, was man-handled by the power trippin' "security guards", went up the elevator, took a number, paid $404.00, went to window 9, handed in forms, got fingerprinted, sat back down in the waiting room, called to window 11, handed more forms in, back to the waiting room, called to window 7, raised my right arm to the square and swore to tell the truth, explained where i met cj, why were were moving, what i did for a living, then was welcomed back to the united states by a small squirrelly white man sitting behind thick glass - my green card was to be sent in the mail. they didn't care my FBI clearance wasn't with me or completed, didn't take a second look at the ream of paper that we used to copy the last 3 years income tax returns and financial reports and only took 2 out of the 3 required 2 x 2 photos. wow, thanks for being thorough. glad i was so prepared.
all in all, it was a real treat to visit montreal. our hotel was fantastic, would stay there again in a heart beat. the trip was like a little taste of europe, really close to home. can't beat that! thank you montreal!
we are pooped tonight. laying here in bed, i am watching ida on the monitor we have in her bedroom. she has completely undressed herself, diaper and all, 3 times since i put her to bed. scratch that, just looked over, naked, again. make that 4 times. what the heck is going on?! i go in, re-dress her, explain she has to keep her clothes on, leave and in 5 minutes she is naked again.
dude. have fun sleeping in the buff. 3 strikes, you're out.
