I'm not sure what time we really got up, but when we did I know for sure it was early. We got all of our stuff together as usual. We headed to the Air Transat counter which was unusual. Well I figured it out that we were heading to Quebec. We checked in and got our bags through the security and we were at are gate. We were flying the A310, one of two aircraft that Air Transat has, the other one is A330. We were near the back but by the center isle. So once everyone got seated we asked if we could move back to the very back and they said we could. Everyone on there was French speaking, but some spoke English.

We pushed back from the gate. We taxied by the Southwest ramp (not the direction the airline), then the delta/internation ramps and headed to the runway. We headed to runway 35L. We had to wait for about 3 planes before us. Ont the runway we waited for about a minute for wake turbulence (wake turbulence is what the engine exhaust creates when and airplanes engines are on). All you know your in the air, after the take-off role. They said everything in french but i knew what they were saying because I flown so many times before, they said that you can use your electronic devices. Then later they said something else in french and the only words out of it I understood was Chris Tucker, Jackie Chan, and Rush Hour 3. The surprising thing was that when they were showing the movie it was in ENGLISH not French!!

We started our descent while the movie was still going on so I didn't get to watch the whole thing. :( But when we descended we had to pass through a low layer of clouds and what I saw beyond that was amazing. The ground was all white, ALL WHITE. When we landed we taxied to our gate for about a minute and a half. We were the last to get off the plane since we were in the very back. (We are in Montreal as a note)

Some snow covered decorated trees

We headed to the baggage claim, but we had to go through customs again. When we got to the carousel there were just a few bags left, we got one and my dad said the other one probably didn't make, not a few seconds after he said that is strolled around the corner. We got our bags and headed to the bus area because we had to drive for awhile to actually get to Quebec. When we went near the door the freezing cold air hit us like a bus. It was so cold. Colder than we thought. Mom testing out the new fabric we got to protect our faces from the cold



When we made it to the bus station we first got some food because we were starving. We went to a deli in the bus station. I got a sub and my
parents got sandwiches. Next thing we know it we need to get on the bus. When we got to the bus we had to give the bus driver our tickets and
we found a place on the bus. When we headed off the bus wasn't even half full. The bus ride was two hours and 50 minutes long so I won't tell
you everything. My mom and I watched The Italian Job the whole time pretty much. We arrived when it was dark, so it had to be around 7:15
or so.

We pretty much relaxed and went to get something to eat because we had a long and tiring day.
