I really should do an unlocked version.

kshandra's request, I've f-locked the actual itinerary for our trip to the 2009 Worldcon. But I feel the rest of you deserve at least the basics.
We're flying out of SFO on Monday, August 3rd on a redeye. After a long breakfast in Detroit's airport, we arrive in Montréal around noon-ish on Tuesday, and hopefully can get into the hotel room and die. Assuming a successful resurrection in the evening, perhaps meeting up locals for dinner. From what I've read, Old Montréal is best seen at night, so maybe do that.
Wednesday we're planning on a little sight-seeing. We will, of course, need to see The Village ("We bring greetings from The Castro!") and I'm told that there are in fact penguins. Kiri and I are both fiends for old churches and graveyards, so we'll want to see those. After a long, exhausting day spent seeing Really Cool Things (and probably getting lost at least once) we return to the hotel.
Thursday through Monday is the con. I'm sure there will be points where we'll emerge from the The Palais des congrès de Montréal needing to do something different.
Tuesday, we depart from Trudeau International at 1740. Since this is an international flight, I want to be there early, but the possibility of squeezing one more look at something is there.
Coming home, we have a short lay-over in the Twin Cities, and are dumped, dead to the world, at SFO at around midnight. We then confuse a SuperShuttle Driver by giving directions in our newly-acquired Québécois French and trying to pay with oddly-colored money.
