All things Niagara Falls tourism…
I’ve known that Cirque Niagara had a 3-year deal with Niagara Parks. However, I was under the impression that there would be a new show each year. Apparently I was wrong. Avaia is returning for the 2007 seasons. This is an ad that appeared in the local paper. At the top it says Returning For A Second Smash Season! and that performances will start June 15, 2007 (about 3 weeks later than 2006).
From FloridaToday.com:
Have you been to Niagara Falls? If not, you have missed one of the charming faces of Americana.
I have done a fair amount of traveling, but I never enjoy it as much as when I travel to learn. Now when I go places, I take notes, not just photographs. I even ask questions of tour guides rather than heckle them for fun.
More people should try keeping a contemporaneous travel journal. Reviewing vacation notes allows you to enjoy the trip again (cheaper) and recall facts that otherwise would be just disconnected fragments.
A person could visit Niagara and watch water fall, or go there and record what there is to learn.
Here are the notes from my recent trip:
I’m a little late on this, but last Tuesday I received an email greeting from Falls Avenue.

From the Niagara Falls Review:
Local residents will get a chance to play tourist next weekend, at much cheaper rates, during Loonie Museum Day.
More than a dozen attractions in the Clifton Hill area will offer $1 admission Sunday to residents of the city.
The popular event, which raises money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Canada, has been entertaining thousands of local residents for the past 18 years.
“It’s a win-win situation for everybody,” said Rosemary Croteau, publicity chairwoman with the Niagara CF chapter.
“The businesses win, we win and, of course, the public wins because they have this wonderful opportunity to bring their kids down here for a only a buck.”
Loonie Museum Day is always held the last Sunday of Christmas vacation.
From a GoldenTravelGuides press release:

From the Buffalo News:
If you are paying with American money, tolls will increase by 50 cents for passenger cars on the Rainbow, Whirlpool Rapids and Lewiston-Queenston bridges as of Feb. 1.
For those using Canadian money, rates will remain the same.
The prolonged weakness of the U.S. dollar against other world currencies is the reason for the increase, the first since 1998, according to the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission.
I know Christmas was a week ago, but I never did wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I hope you all had a joyous and satisifying Christmas as well as a safe and fun New Year’s Eve.
2006 was a good year for AccessNiagara, and in particular the Niagara Falls Blog. There is a great community here already, and it seems to be growing. I appreciate all the comments that you leave, the reports of your trips, and just the general good feeling you leave. Let’s hope 2007 is even better!
Posting will resume as normal tomorrow…
