Just a quick post to point out that I've been in Montreal, home of McGill University. Ernest Rutherford, the father of nuclear physics, worked here between 1898 and 1907, and it was here that he performed the work that won him the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (though his later work in Manchester ought to have gained him a second prize, in Physics).
There's a small Rutherford Museum in the Physics Department here. I saw it only through the glass in the locked door to the entrance. It turns out one can only visit by appointment, and I turned up towards the end of my last day in Montreal. Still, here's a picture of me standing next to Rutherford, in the lobby of the Physics Department at McGill:

There are many people all over the world who make it a point to save some amount of money so they can go on vacations during their holiday breaks.
