Bonjour!

People intending on visiting Quebec next spring 
(FTAA-SOA Quebec City April 20-22nd) might consider 
doing some quick research right now, and give
yourself some time to plan ahead...

Check out maps of Quebec and orient yourself. Read up
a little on what it's like. For instance, did you know
the entire city is surrounded by a massive wall? 
(now are they ever thinking ahead or what!)

Learn or review your French! 96% of the people speak
French on a regular basis!

  Did people take French in high school/college
  and have phrase books, text books lying around? 
  
  Perhaps we could have a refresher course where
  these books could come together, and those who
  know French somewhat could teach the others
  who've never had it some of the more necessary
  phrases (if you're arrested, emergency stuff).
  I'm not sure how many people also speak English,
  although when it comes to oppressors, they'll 
  probably pretend not to understand. I know enough
  to refresh myself, and then pass it on at a mtg.

Make sure you have a valid passport!

Find a place to stay! Here's a link to some
cheap motels, youth hostels, and other accomodations
(with links to other hotels as well) in Quebec.

Put it on your calendar (if you have one) so 
you don't forget to once the time gets closer 

  Make sure you have work off during that week. 
  I'm sure, if you're anything like me, some 
  of you won't even know if you'll have the same 
  job then! ;)

Just some intial thoughts I'd throw out there...

Vive la revolution!

Paix,
