Montreal in June 2016!

[alias_sqbr]

It seems set that Cam's company is sending him on a work trip to Montreal in June for about a week, and I am thinking of coming along with him. He'll be working during office hours so I'll have a lot of time to kill. We're also considering turning the layover in LA into a few days in Vegas (apparently very wheelchair friendly!) but that's less certain. EDIT: We are instead going to Disneyland.

So! Any of you live nearby and willing and able to come say hi? I am probably going to be a puddle for quite a while after arriving, and am not up to much solo travel, so it's difficult for me to come to you, but if that's the only option and you live very close let me know and at least I'll have the option.

Anyone who's been to either place got tips, especially on wheelchair friendly stuff? I know some of you are in Canada but, well, Canada is really big.

I'm open to hanging out with anyone I know to some extent as long as you're not like an axe murderer. And I will wave sadly South and West to all you guys who will be closer but still too far away.

(Omg it would be so cool if you went to Montreal!)

Yeah! I think a relatively long stay in one place will let me have time to rest up and take things easy, and since his work is paying for accomodation I won't be there fretting about the cost, or "Oh but what if we went to X instead maybe that would be better".

Fabulous! I'm 1000miles away, but pleased for you.

Montreal works hard to be a European city, so I would anticipate doing a lot of checking before assuming a place's accessibility. Las Vegas is accessible mostly because its population has exploded since ADA was passed. It's also wicked hot, even in June.

Sigh. Thank you!

Vegas is HOT in June - knock the stuffing out of you, 40-45C hot. And there's no trees or breeze outside. And all the casinos are full of smokers, and you have to go through them to get to any of the shows. But it's a dry heat, and it is very accessible.

Montreal is on the side of a mountain and is an old european style city, and not very accessible. But if you can manage a few hundred metres walk, you can get hop-on, hop-off tours, and just stay on the bus all day. Also, hot as hell in June, and humid.

Thank you!

After some discussion we have instead decided to go to Disneyland :) Montreal is unfortunately not a matter of choice, but thanks for the advice.
