That's an incredible trip! Quebec city is just beautiful. I will agree with you on one thing, my folks took me to the HOF when i was younger, ( we used to camp in the Lake George Area ( bout half hour north of saratoga) all summer) and the first time I drove to Cooperstown myself, I also didn't remember it being that far!

I'm actually surprised about Quebec City, the times I've been there, everyone spoke English to me, it's such a touristy town. Actually depending when in the 70's it was, it might have been right around the time the seperatists got strong, bunch of dumbasses. :)
