Bite me, Mapquest

[ciroccoj]

It has failed me utterly. We're going to Montreal tomorrow and I need to figure out what we're going to do there, and bloody Mapquest refuses to cooperate. No matter what I do, it tells me MapQuest found a similar location for "900 de La Gauchetiere W., Montreal, QC H5a". Please select "Get Directions" or revise your search. but when I do select Get Directions, it tells me MapQuest found a similar location for "900 de La Gauchetiere W., Montreal, QC H5a". Please select "Get Directions" or revise your search.

Will need a paper map. How annoying.

• Hilton: 900 de La Gauchetiere W., Montreal, Quebec, Canada H5A 1E4
  
  
• Biodome: 4777 Pierre-de-Coubertin Ave. Montreal, Quebec H1V 1B3,
  
  
• Planetarium: 1000 Saint-Jacques Street, Montréal, (Québec), H3C 1G7
  
  
• Insectarium: 4581 Sherbrooke Street East, Montréal, Québec, H1X 2B2
  
  
• Botanical Garden: 4101 Sherbrooke St. E. Montreal, Quebec H1X 2B2

Ah well. Should be fun anyway. Chris is going to a medical conference and we three will be home schooling away from home. And taking in the sights. And hopefully we might even get together with friends of ours who live there, and with their kids, who are very close in age to Daniel and Justin and who hit it off marvelously the last time we were together. Which doesn't always mean much, as that was a couple years ago and that's a lifetime to a kid, but still :)

ladystarstruck, I'll say hi for you :)

I never use Mapquest anymore. I like Google maps more:

If you go to the hotel site, http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/YULBHHF-Hilton-Montreal-Bonaventure-Quebec/index.do;jsessionid=03356356AEBDA5A6B789EA1DAAE2C2A5.etc34?brand_id=HI&brand_directory=/en/hi/&xch=98484907,3H5HOF5LXWKIECSGBIUMVCQ
there are both maps and directions. Once you arrive, the hotel will have both maps and brochures for all attractions. Have a wonderful time!

Way fun though! I adored montreal the 3 days I was there, and the biodome was so cool, I wish I had had more time to see the rest. :D You could take me with you, you know, as your official geography grad/map guide. Just sayin...
