Niagara Falls Blog

From the Miami Herald:

My trip to Toronto and Niagara Falls differed from my two previous last-minute trips in one significant way: Instead of buying a package trip, I booked everything separately — flights, two hotels and a rental car. I used opaque sites — Web sites where you don’t know the hotel, airline or rental car agency you’re getting until you make the purchase — for the first time.

There was a lot more room for trouble, but other than some minor problems at the airport, I didn’t have any. And I got bargain prices on everything.

From TheStreet.com:

The rush of standing right next to Niagara Falls, close enough to feel the spray on your face, is an unparalleled experience.

When you consider that there are few natural wonders left unpaved or unfenced in this country, these thundering falls are even more impressive. Niagara won’t disappoint, whether taken in from the American Falls, Horseshoe Falls, or the Bridal Veil Falls (it’s actually three separate waterfalls).

Although Niagara may bring to mind cheap souvenirs, heart-shaped Jacuzzis and washed-up lounge singers, the Falls and surrounding area have much more to offer — and after the summer crowds have moved on is an ideal time to take it all in.
