We arrived in Montreal on Sunday and stayed at the Loews Vogue Hotel. The hotel is wonderful and I highly recommend it. We boarded the ship yesterday just in time for a wonderful champagne lunch. We had a bit of excitement in the early evening...there was a bomb scare and all passengers had to remain in their cabins while the ship and the terminal areas were searched. We had a wonderful block party with several of our neighbors and shared a bottle of wine. Marcie, our next door neighbors were on the Regent WC in 2005 and will be joining you again in January for the full WC. I'll send you info when I return. We finally had a wonderful dinner in the Asian specialty restaurant, Jade Garden. We are leaving shortly for a brief city tour and then we will spend the rest of the day in the old city of Montreal. I'll try and send some more seamail later in the cruise.
