From sunny south of France (near Toulon) thanks all. We got cold feet eastbound and abandoned our old standby JFK-NCE in favor of more space on BDL-PIT-CDG-MRS. And to head back June 29, we again got too apprehensive and have booked confirmed on Air Transat MRS-YUL (about 2x non-rev price, not too bad) , looking to non-rev YUL-BOS or YUL-NYC on AC,CO, or DL, and if all else fails take Greyhound from Montreal to Boston, overnight. Wish us luck!
