Freaking right next door, man! ☕️👍🏻 And there is a pharmacy on the other side and a McDonalds at the corner. Google Manior Hotel Victoria and there is a 360 picture of what is there. 😎

Sandra, Pam and I arrive Wednesday 5-ish and will be arriving together at the hotel. Susana and Dave arrive Wednesday at midnight. Phizz, Tracy and I are arriving on Tuesday. I think Phizz said she is arriving around 6:50, 7-ish and Tracy and I are going to be at the hotel 4-ish or so. Also noted that Liz said in email she would arrive on Thursday and I think Loulou and Mimi will be arriving on Friday. I wonder if they had trouble getting off from work. They will be leaving Sunday.

Go for it. Done and done. We are booked Jamers! Printed off boarding passes and will give you yours in QC. Checking this task off the list.
Come on 5:00 --- I got some packing/laundry to do today!!!
About VIA rail -- "If you already have a booking but are not yet in possession of your ticket or if you want to check your baggage, please be at the station at least 1 hour prior to the departure of your train (only 30 minutes if you are travelling in Business class). Useful info | VIA Rail - VIA Rail Canada www.viarail.ca › help › faq › useful-info The Quebec train station is Gare du Palais.

While on the subject of currency... I have a question for those who have already booked, or will be booking, stuff for our group: Would you prefer to be reimbursed in US or Canadian dollars?
And thanks to you all for arranging it!
I'm thinking Canadian, because then we don't have to fool with the exchange rate. And it's a low-effort way for me to get my pocket money. :-) Truly, either would be fine, though. And the Citadel tour is booked! It is going to be at 7:30 and there may be other people along. I could swear they told me they could do a private tour on Friday night, but then they told me they couldn't. They also said it's a good idea to show up 15 minutes early because they start on time and don't wait for stragglers. Speaking of cash, my last several international trips, including Canada, I've been able to use my ATM card to draw cash in the local currency. You get the best exchange rates because they're part of a big network and the fees are comparable to the service fees you'd pay to a bank. Both in Toronto and in Edinburgh I just used an ATM at the airport. If you have Plus (Visa logo) or Cirrus (Mastercard logo) you should be good to go. Tell the bank you're traveling, too. About the citadel tour, finally got in contact with Mimi and she said that they will be coming Thursday night around 9 ish and are a yes for the citadel tour, but didn't get yes or no on walking tour. Oh, and no to the walking tour for them.

Jamie - You may need to bring your LCR game. I am looking for it & wonder if I lent it to someone... I usually keep it with my bag of quarters and it's not there. If that changes, I'll repost. Thanks.
Wow the temps have gone up since I checked/posted last time. I was hoping for really cool temps (so sick of heat here!). May have to put more shorts in the suitcase ...
Tues 9/19 H: 77 L: 63 30% chance of rain
Wed 9/20 H: 72 L: 55 20%
Thurs 9/21 H: 72 L: 52 0%
