Niagara Falls

I spent a wonderful few days with Christine, driving up to and enjoying Niagara Falls. We stayed on the Canadian side, at the Sheraton on the Falls. We used my starpoints for a free room. It had a view of the falls and the town, so it was wonderful. That roar of the waterfalls in the background is constantly present and it leads to good sleep. We rode on the Maid of the Mist, went Behind the Falls, experienced Niagara's Fury (a Disney-like experience where you get wet, cold, snow, rain, fun), we walked next to the rapids in the gorge. All a wonderful experience! It is far away, however. Nine hours each way, with construction delays, the border, etc. causing delays. Oh well. We had fun!
