[Fanny!]

I think we should indeed organize a party in the Holiday Inn.

[autumnskies00]

hhaha too funny. Well this will make up for me not being able to go up to Quebec city, at least I'll still get the chance to meet you all.

[Shesings2me]

Laura, What time will you get to Montreal on the 13th? Are you gonna come out for the nightlife with some of us that night? Woot Woot!!

[autumnskies00]

I will actually be getting in Montreal on the 11th probably not until around 9 or 10pm though because I am taking the train in.  So I will be there all day on the 13th, for lunch, a night out, or anything else we have planned.

ahaha woops. Yes join us for some Montreal nightlife everyone!!

[Shesings2me]

Hi ALL, This is sooo exciting!!   What a trip we're gonna have, huh!!!


So, I need to get more organized and sum up what's been decided on here. Here's what we have so far:

Date: Friday, February 13, 2009

Morning: Charlemagne trip

Meeting time: 10am

Where: yet to be decided, but will be somewhere downtown

Transportation: We will need everyone to speak up if they have a vehicle or if they are willing to rent one. I will have one (my mom's probably) and will split the cost of renting a mini-van. I know the Italians (11 of them) said they would be willing to rent as well, and Shea said she'd chip in, and Andray said he would drive as well.

It will take about a 1/2hr to 45 mins to get there
Tour of Charlemagne by Veronique (if she still wants to be our guide), or just float around town on your own. It is a small little community so it won't take long to see the sights there. Sights will include: The Celine Monument (Celine Globe), Celine's family home, her old school, drive by Town Hall & Church, and of course the newbies will want pics of the street signs too (Boulevard Celine Dion).

Leave Charlemagne: 11:45am & drive back to city. Then meet at Nickel's Restaurant for lunch.


Afternoon: Lunch at Nickel's

Why: Celine & Rene were partners in this Restaurant chain (now franchise) when it first opened. Celine helped design the uniforms & maman even sewed the first few I'm led to believe. Some of Celine's memorabilia still hangs on the walls here and there is a delicious Celine Chocolate Cake on the menu. Celine was interviewed in one of them (at least once); I'm not sure which location.

Where: Place Dupuis Location

When: 12:30pm

Transportation: Most of us will be driving from Charlemagne; for those not coming in the AM I'm sure there is a metro station close by, probably Berri/Uqam. Andray, you can correct me here, lol AND I'll confirm that.

Duration: As long as we feel like hanging out there.


Later Afternoon: Touring Old Montreal

For those who want to see the Notre Dame Basillica where Celine & Rene married & RC was baptized, and if weather permits stroll around to see more of this beautiful Old City.


Evening: Dinner is optional but I'm willing to keep the party going here, lol. If some of us are still together we can have dinner in Old Montreal or somewhere downtown. There are many places to eat, so this doesn't need any planning.


Late Evening: Check out Montreal's Night Life

Whether we're still together or you want to meet up with some of us again for an after dinner drink, let's check out some of Montreal's clubs. I'm a total virgin in this area, but if there's no Montreal experts in our crowd at this point I have my brother to call on. He's an expert of everything downtown and will lead us in the right direction. And don't worry, we won't leave anyone alone especially if you've had too much to drink. My hope is that we'll be respectful to each other and not get out of control.  


THE END....my goodness it had to end, didn't it?! That's quite a morning/afternoon/evening/late evening!  


Any and ALL feedback is greatly appreciated!!
Tracy    

[marneeceline]

wow!!! hahahaha this is crazy awesome!! DEFS up for lunch and onwards!! but the AM not sure i will get back to you love!!

SOOOO EXCITED!!!! woooo

[KimboCosmo]

Sounds GREAT, Tracy!  

I really am not picky, as long as ALL of those things listed will get done...LOL  I don't care what times and what order we do them in!    Can't wait!!!

[thesupernova]

omg tracy, that sounds like the best day ever!!!!!! i'm in for everything:)

[Libeck528]

Oh man Tracy!!!  I wish we could come to everything!!!  
We get into town around seven on the train.  Our friend gets in around four on the same day.  I heard that the trains get in late often so I am expecting more like 8 or 9 for Lib and me.  We are down to go out with you guys, I really would like to meet you all.  
Uh but some problems lol.  
I am not 21 and neither is our friend.  I heard the drinking age is 18 though...
Also Lib and I aren't big into bars and drinking, but we would love to come out with you guys to a club with dancing or something else besides drinking.  Is anyone planning on going to clubs?  

But we want to meet everyone regardless of the day or times so Saturday or Sunday before the shows if there is anything going on we'll come!  

[autumnskies00]

OMG so fun! I'm in for it all. I'm not much of a dancing person if we go to a club, but I'm still down for it. I won't have a car with me, and I can't rent up there because I'm not a canadian citizen, but I'll do what I can to help. I do believe the age to get into bar/clubs up there is 18 so anyone 18 and up should be okay!

[SandyCeline]

Hey Tracee, I'm definetely in for everything: lunch, afternoon and evening
And I'm gonna come with Veronika (vroni on the forum)

We're really excited

[Irinaxx83]

Great organization!!! I like it very much!!! Good job Tracy!
But... don't you think that we don't have enough time to visit Charlemagne?? Consider the fact the we're a big group, so we're going to lose a lot of time for the meeting, for organize everybody etc...

Hey lady,

Now that's exactly the kind of feedback I've been looking for, lol! I was thinking the same thing when I was making up this tentative schedule. I think an hour will be enough time to get everything in because it is so small there, but I am willing to meet earlier no problem.

What do you think about 9 or 9:30am for a meeting time for the Charlemagne tourists? Remember people, you can sleep in on the other days, LOL!

*** HEY, OTHER Charlemagne TOURISTS...PLEASE give your feedback on the ABOVE! THANK YOU!! ***

[Véronyk]

Of course i'm in for the tour of Charlemagne but only if you help me for all the traduction. HIHIHI. I'm not too bad with my english when I wrote it, but when I talk OH MY GOD !!!! That is just tooooo bad lol.

Depending on the number of people will be with us, 1h00 it's probably ok for the complete tour of Charlemagne. It's takes 30-45 min. max to do the hole old Charlemagne, walking. But we don't have to do the hole tour.

- The house, The monument, the 3 schools (all in one same place) the chruch, the cake shop, the town hall, and if someone wants to we can go to the hospital were she was born. that's pretty all we have to see, and  we can do all walking and it would take 30-45 min. max. it can be longer if we do much talk.

So that's the planning. Can't wait to see all of you.

About the Nickels: Celine was interviewed in the Nickels not far from Charlemagne in Repentigny... the one her family owned

As for Charlemagne: My boyfriend and I might come if we do we'll have two available seats
And you couldn't pick a better tour guide than Veronik! she lives there and she really is a fan! can't get better for a tour of Celine's first village!

and ... I'm all in for the nightlife

Hi Tracy,

it sounds great. My friend and I are in it all - till the end  

and Tam,

it would be a pleasure to give you and your boy friend a ride. We rent a car. It is just a small one but I hope it will do.

Thanks for the offer for Tam, however she meant that she will have a car with two extra seats. So now we know you have 2 seats available also then that is GREAT! We will need as many vehicles as possible here.

Don't worry everyone. I'll be summing up everything here and figuring out how many other vehicles we may need, etc. Then I'll try to get a deal from one of the rental places in Montreal. We'll make sure everyone gets a lift to Charlemagne.

Does anyone else have an opinion about the meeting time for Charlemagne? Should we keep it at 10am or go for 9:30am instead????
