One Love Pub Crawl

[M&G Montreal]

I come from Montreal (Wow. What a surprise ... M&G Montreal are from Montreal! Go figure!). A beer in the local suburban dive is $8; a rum & coke is usually $9+. It's more downtown. Yeah, it's Canadian Dollars, but work with me here, people. You don't want to know what it costs at a Canadians hockey game! Plus tip. AND 15% TAX! Seriously! To buy a bottle of rum at local liquor store, 40 oz., will set you back a min. of $35.00.

$4 a Red Stripe and $4.00 a rum punch is looking pretty good to me. If they bump their prices for pub crawl - well, the Bell Centre does it shamelessly for every Canadiens game ... so, WTF? $3.40-$4.50 is still better than happy hour in the Great White North!

After spending a couple of grand to vacay in Negril, I don't begrudge anyone an afternoon/evening of entertainment for about $30 a head. Yeesh, it would cost me $30 to do a movie, with popcorn and a small bucket of a soft drink I don't even want! ANI have to do the driving! Though snow .... and ice ... and slush ..... and ... you get my point!

I don't see the problem. But maybe my brain is still frozen from our Canadian winter.

Relax. Think about it. Let the moths out of your wallet (seriously ... it cost you more than a $10 tip and $4 a Stripe to get there, right?).

The bus is packed? Yeah, well ... whatevs .... just look on the bright side! Nobody has to get out and push it out of the snow bank. (Just putting it in perspective here ...) You're on vacation - open up a bit. And if you're not comfortable with it .... hail a RED PLATE and go where you are!

You're on vacation, for goodness sake! Leave the stress behind and get out of your box!

JMHO!
