We are calling this Day Zero, establishing it as the first real day of the trip, even if it is a "zero". The rationale is that today we are leaving our home country,  and you can be sure our travel insurance has also begun from now - in their case counting the moments until we arrive back safely with no claim.

But we are counting the moments until we finally set off pedaling.  That will not happen until about Day 5.  There will still be lots of travel fun in between. We are sitting now at the gate in Montreal, and it's evening. By morning we will walk out into Paris.  Paris! The city is still full of glamour for us. Even so far as the city's  tourist attractions go we have nowhere near seen it all.  And this time, it's going to be one day and we're gone. But we do have some new friends there, and they have promised to take us to a restaurant in the East Indian quartier. That will sure be new. But wait for Day 1 for that report.

The highlight of Day Zero, other than going through the airport with no bikes, was watching videos with the kids. Two out of three claimed to be sick. I'm sure their illnesses were eased by having grandparents and videos to sit with. 

The children, and Joshua and Sabrina gave us a really nice sendoff. We sure do love them! Watch this space soon for a photo of Grampies and the three littles.
