Text me your favorite South Florida memory.

Bonjour, travel lovers!

If you've ever wondered what it's like to swap palm trees for poutine, this one's for you. Season 2 kicks off with a special episode taking you on a journey from sunny South Florida to the charming streets of Montreal—a city our Canadian neighbors call home and one whose residents have given so much to our local economy over the years.

For our anniversary, Mrs. Monty and I set out to explore the rich history, stunning sights, and mouthwatering eats that make Montreal a must-visit destination. Join me and explore the mini-Notre Dame Cathedral, Chinatown, the delightful eco-systems found in the Biodome, and, of course, iconic bites like smoked meat sandwiches and golden, gravy-drenched poutine.

You'll get the inside scoop on:

• The best airlines to get you there (and the ones to avoid)
• Where to eat, sleep, and sightsee like a local
• A full review of our stay at Hotel Faubourg
• And the #1 reason you should be booking your trip to Montreal today

So buckle up, press play, and come along as we trade beaches for cooler weather on this unforgettable northern adventure. 🇨🇦✈️❄️

You know this episode could have been titled Meals From South Florida because I recently sent out the following question in a survey; If you have a friend coming to South Florida for the first time, what would be the one restaurant that you would take them to?

The answers might surprise you and the #1 absolutely surprised me. Is your fave eating spot on the list? Le Tub? Joe's Stone Crabs? The Mai Kai Restaurant? Jaxson's Ice Cream Parlor? Who made the list and who didn't? And who got voted #1?

Let's Take a TALK down Restaurant Row to see what you and your South Florida neighbors named as the one restaurant to take a first-time visitor.

Let's take a TALK down Memory Lane to 1983 and an art exhibit that put South Florida, Miami, and Biscayne Bay front and center in the international at scene. Long before the Miami Vice and Art Deco craze an artistic powerhouse duo named Christi and Jeanne-Claude descended on 11 islands in Biscayne Bay and made history.

For two weeks, their unique vision regarding the relationship between Floridians and Biscayne Bay captured the hearts and minds of people world-wide, making history and controversy.

Love 'em or hate 'em, if you lived here at the time, everyone remembers the Surrounded Islands.

Visit the Surrounded Islands exhibit at the NSU Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale. For information and tickets, visit NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale – Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale
