Every August I travel to Montreal to enjoy good food, nice weather, a little outdoor exercise, and lots of relaxation. I've been to the city often enough now that I don't feel the need to see the sites, to visit the Old Port, or do much of anything. Instead, I unplug, slow down, and decompress.
Tonight I'm sitting at the Grand Hyatt DFW, taking advantage of their Park, Sleep and Fly offer. For the same price as a week of parking at DFW airport, I can stay at the hotel, unwind, check out in the morning, then take the elevator down to catch my flight. Right now I'm looking out the window with a view of Terminal D, waiting for Qantas 8 to push back and depart for Brisbane. I'm also listening to DFW Tower West air traffic control: with instructions like "Go on down and take a right…" or "you're gonna have to get clear of that big ol' 74…", it's obvious the tower crew comes from Texas.
Anyway, tomorrow I'm off to Miami and then on to Montreal, so if you notice a drop in the number of posts this week, blame it on my vacation. Don't worry, if American announces Quadruple AAdvantage Miles and instant Executive Platinum status for travel next weekened between Montreal and Dallas, I'll let you know. But, if you don't hear from me, have a good week.
