1 Mascarade excellent
2 Montreal Nuru Massage good/excellent

Good means average/good. Not enough to inspire a repeat. So my batting average for excellent was 8/14 or 6/11 or about 57%. Off-hand without checking, I'd say normal batting average in Mtl for excellent is 80%+. Though in fairness will say some of the "goods" were very pleasant and willing to please. Just didn't click enough with me physically or chemically.
The agency experience was WAY inferior to past trips. Very limited selection of my favorite types - younger, natural, quebecoise, busty, shorter, pretty. And the ones I was most interested in were almost always only available incall. I had trips before where I had at least one "my type" coming to my hotel almost every day. This time I couldn't make it happen even once. Once I resigned to the fact of having to consider incall, I missed out on a "my type" a couple times because I wasn't quick enough and they got fully booked. Another one, I texted XO back 20 minutes later to say OK I'll do incall, and they didn't reply back. For the incalls I did, the traffic was often HORRENDOUS. I was late for a few appointments.
I did 4 unreviewed TOFTT. I feel an obligation to do this and report back on any longer trip. Two of these were good and two disappointments.
I avoided the indies. A few I might have been interested in but they had unacceptable screening requirements. Too much work and compromised privacy.
Highlights: Met up with a friend at a strip club. Had 8 excellent sessions. Checked the box on 5 TDL repeats. Had a great nice surprise at VT. Crazy times at MNM. Lots of good meals.
Overall I put this trip in the bottom 50% of trips I've had to Mtl. Still good, but the bar was set high before.
