and restaurants will gladly accept payment in US$ and will provide an
exchange rate that reflects a premium value for the greenback. You will

will find a few in Old Montreal) but they sometimes charge relatively
large For a stay of only a weekend, the most efficient way to pay may be to use a credit card. Canadian businesses will take payment on your US credit card and will bill you in US dollars, using an exchange rate which is usually quite good. |
In Montreal, and in most areas we are likely to visit, people will be more than happy to help you out in your language of choice, especially if they notice a cute car and American license plates. People will still appreciate an attempt to communicate in French and we will give you some pointers once you're at the Inn. We're sure you will find that the French environment adds a little bit of flavor to the ECR and makes your trip more pleasurable.
We usually don't worry about my speed, on the major thruways, unless I exceed 120km/h, which is almost exactly 75 mph.

V8's, big flares, 6 cyl. conversions . You name it we'll have it! |
