TimmyB Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I just booked my hostel for the trip and I can't wait. I was at the Anfield Liverpool Sound concert on June 1, and I wondered to myself when I would next get to see Sir Paul McCartney? I would have never guessed less than two months away in Quebec City with hundreds of thousands of fans on the Plains of Abraham for FREE! Peace and Love, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
