This was a short visit to Quebec City and it was fraught with running out of time.
The whole point of coming was to give a presentation. Well, the presentation was given yesterday as scheduled, but a large and important part of the expected audience was not there. They were still in another meeting that went long.
So we were asked to redo the presentation this morning, although I ended up being the only one of our 4-person team who was still here this morning. But meetings being meetings, this morning's meeting never got far enough along to reach our agenda item by the time I had to leave for the airport. So again, ran out of time.
Worse, because there was so much waiting around, I (along with Mr. Vice-Chair) only had a short walk around the city, and even then just close to the hotel. So I didn't get to see much of Quebec City during my first ever visit. My biggest regret is that I didn't get to see the Plains of Abraham, the one thing I actually wanted to see (thanks to Mr. Saunders and the Canadian War Museum for actually making that part of Canadian history interesting).
I shall return.
