Driving in both Québec and Vermont, we didn’t encounter any bad traffic. It was so refreshing.

Montreal can be a nightmare if there's a wreck on any one of the bridges or they're doing construction, but yeah, it ain't bad overall.

We purposely avoided the Montreal area on our drive up and down for that reason.

We can definitely see ourselves settling in Maine or Vermont in several years once our kids are off to college. The wide open spaces and lack of over-development are nice to see.

Really beautiful city. Pretty small and walkable so you can bang it out in a few days. Oldest city streets in North America, if I read correctly…definitely feels like you’re in a European town. Also did a day trip to a nearby falls and then drove around the Île d'Orléans, a very quaint and old island with cheese, fruit, and wine stands dotted about.
 
Not to take away from the agora of philosophical discussion that is the conference expansion thread, but as penal colonies go, Georgia wasn't really a bad option. New Orleans, Australia, Burma, Goa, if I am a 17th or 18th-century prisoner, I am picking Georgia.
 
Been at least 20 years since the last time I talked to mack. Good guy. Very intense but fun to hang out with.

Well yeah, and plus James Oglethorpe's program was to take those who had committed very minor crimes to start the colony, primarily small scale debtors, which would actually help alleviate some of the problems in the English prison system. It didn't really work out that well though on a percentage basis because so many other folks settled as well.
