I missed Spartan at Red Deer and went to Montreal instead!

As you may know, my aunts are visiting me and invited me to travel with them to Montreal over the weekend.  Traveling with them was a lot of fun and very productive; however, it was more tiring than completing a Spartan Sprint or Spartan Super.  Nevertheless, I really enjoyed our small 4 days 3 nights trip together in Montreal.

As they were on a tight schedule and budget, they wanted to see as many attractions in Montreal as possible while spending the least amount of money.  As such, we bought the MTL Passeport for 72 H.  For $99.00+tax the MTL Passeport provided them with access to 23 attractions/activities and unlimited travel on public transit.  We were only able to get to 9 out of 23 things that we could have done in 72 hours.  While traveling from one attraction to the other, I really enjoyed looking at the parks and buildings along the way so I think the MTL Passeport is great because it leads you to interesting attractions and encourages you to explore Montreal and Old Montreal on foot, cruise, bus, quadricycle and subway.

If I visit Montreal again, I think I'll just travel by foot the whole time.  When you travel with many destinations in mind, you are on a tight schedule the whole time.  When you travel with no destination in mind at all, you have plenty of time.

Cheers to that!
