Trek Through Quebec + Montreal Jazz Festin' - La Grande Aventure Québécoise


Details
Salut mes amis! I'm happy to announce a two-week road trip across Quebec coming up in late June and early July. The first week will be devoted to traveling through Eastern Quebec, while the second week will involve setting up shop in Montreal and doing a variety of activities around town and the area each day, then catching the Jazz Festival shows in the evening!
Sign up instructions:
You can sign up here: https://p.ridj-it.com/app/trip-detail?id=113799. This requires a Ridj-it account, which is different from your Meetup account.
Details continued:
I understand it may be hard to devote the full two weeks to the trip. Anyone who wants to join for whatever chunk of the trip they desire is welcome to do so. For instance, you could drive/fly up and meet me in Montreal at some point during the week of June 25, and we could do activities and see shows together. I have space in my car for up to four passengers at any point in the voyage.
Here is the full itinerary for the trip, and a short summary of it can be found below. Suggestions are welcome. When signing up, please let me know what days and locations of the trip you are planning to join for. Merci tout le monde, et bienvenue à la Grande Aventure Québécoise!
