Big Independent Day of Travelling Tomorrow - The Trip to Montreal

Good evening to all of my readers, and you probably know what I am exactly thinking. Well, there's no doubt that I am ready for tomorrow and Saturday's adventure. Yes, it's normal to feel nervous about travelling by yourself.

It's a trip outside of my province 'Ontario' to head into the next door rival province 'Quebec' where all the Habs fans are. I'm not a hockey person myself, but the city is known for them there plus the poutine apparently.

Being that this is the first time ever without anyone here to join me, I always recalled many times of wanting to travel by myself to many places in the world. A good start for me would have to be Montreal in my own country, as it's close to home than I realize. Next, I'll probably plan on visiting Vancouver where my aunt lives before eventually going to explore other places around the world, starting one at a time with the United States, and work towards both Europe and Asia/Oceania locations as a tourist if I'm not there to see a concert.

For the trip, I'm there for just one whole day when I arrive there in the afternoon. The next morning after, I'll be waking up very early to catch the earliest train and head back home.

Here you can see that I've packed up the food for the trip. Mostly breakfast on the way back to Toronto. Most others are just snacks on the way there, as well as drinks like my favorite: Apple Juice!

I will do all that I can to get a couple of good shots around the city, but at the same time I am trying to conserve battery on my phone as much as I can to keep in contact with my parents at home. But again, this is a test for them to see if I can make it on my own.

Bringing along the three Xandria CDs that feature the current line-up as well as two pens for them to sign the copies at the Meet and Greet.

The reason I decided to go to Montreal was because I actually had a free day on my own hands, and decided... why not? It'll be fun seeing the same band twice in two different cities in my own country. The difference being the provinces I am in. Still, I'm looking forward to meeting Xandria, twice! I can't really imagine when they meet me for the second time in Toronto at the Meet and Greet there, as they'll be thinking... "Wait, we saw him in Montreal! It's nice to see him again!"

I unfortunately can't take any of my pony plushies with me. Sorry Applejack, maybe next time if I visit the rich oil province of Alberta you can come with me!

With everything ready, my hotel booked close by the Montreal train station, and my tickets for the train and concert in my possession... I am just about as excited as before that I'll be shaking by the time I get into Montreal. I am aware of the flooding that is going on, but I have hopes I won't be around that area as it's downtown where I will be.

I must get some rest now, it's going to be a big day tomorrow and I can't wait! 😄
