Im late as usual posting. In response to Quebec.  We are not Canadian,  but have visited both cities at least 5 times. You really should do a short visit to Quebec.  ALMOST like visiting France without the 7 hour flight. Not discounting Montreal as it's great too.

Thanks Kerry!  Booked my hotel!  I will note that I was able to get better rates by booking through a third party travel site.  Same generous cancellation policy and free parking.  Your mileage may vary.
