* LAST WEEK-END OF OUR GAYPRIDE * http://www.diverscite.org/2008/anglais/index.htm (info coming soon about activities during the pride festival) * ADVICE : Look in EXPEDIA for airplane fee. To save money fly in Burlington (vermont) and rent a car from there. Depending the city you are coming from your airplane fee can be half price. You are 1h15 from Montreal and the Vermont road is very beautyfull ! * This year, you all need an americain passport to comeback in USA : VERY IMPORTANT.
