    Thanks for the tips so far.

    1. I don't know what an enhanced license is, so let's assume PA doesn't have one, but I do have an up-to-date Passport. I'll ask around about crossing the border.
    2. We are going the second week of July, I'll look into that jazz festival. Love music.
    3. I thought Canadians were slow drivers? Apparently not...I have driven in Manhattan, and many times in New England, so I think I can handle terrible roads and drivers with their heads up their asses.
    4. Will have to pay attention to the KPH scale instead of the MPH scale on the speedo haha.
    5. Indoor karting, you say? Details, sil vous plait? See that, I can speak as much French as every other American! The fiancee can understand it on a basic level, so language barrier isn't that much of an issue.
    6. If/when we have a kid, I guess that would make it Quad_Cam. If it's a boy, it'll be a GRM forum life member, I promise.

    Any more suggestions, I'm all ears.

    I think you'll miss the Jazz fest, but hopefully you'll be there during one of the days of the fireworks festival. It runs a show a week from June to August. http://www.internationaldesfeuxloto-quebec.com/en/

    Though I'm not a gambler, I've been to Casino Montreal, and it was pretty disappointing compared to every other casino that I've been to. Don't go out of your way to get there.

    There are a couple of indoor kart places and at least one outside kart place. Mecaglise may be out of your way(or not, but not near montreal). Look into it. http://www.mecaglisse.com/en/index.php Lots of stuff to do there...skip the casino, it stinks. Montreal botanical gardens it worth a good half to full day visit, near the olympic park, good for a romantic picnic type of place. It does have indoor greenhouses if the weather is sub par. Driving is tame in montreal in comparison to Boston or NYC. In NH hit the flume near franconia notch, it's worth a quick visit.
