Friday night I was ready to get out of the house and get on the road for a spontaneous weekend away.  My first thought was Montreal, one of our favorite destinations that we haven’t visited in quite some time.   I found my passport, our Canadian bank cards and even our opus metro cards…but, unfortunately, there was one thing missing… the Hubz’s passport. After searching high and low for it, it hit me…it was in our lock box and that some how got left behind at my parents house….an hour away.

We discussed going to their house for the night, getting the passport and then heading to Montreal first thing Saturday morning, but I wanted to do Montreal right and spend 2 nights there.  We then decided to jump in the car and hit the road to see where it would take us.  We debated New Hampshire and contemplated Maine and about 10 minutes down the road I said lets go to New York.  After picking up coffee and water we were on our way to the beautiful Catskills.  We enjoyed a few yummy snacks thanks to Rice Works who sent me a few samples to try out.

After 3 and half hours of driving we finally made it to our destination and then found a less than desirable hotel to stay in.

You may have been following my tweets on twitter, giving hints as to where we ran off to, and although there have been some great guesses only one or two people got it right.  This is just part one keep so reading to find out where we ended up.
