“Canada’s Adventure Couple” posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls: This week was no exception. We spent 2 days running around Niagara Falls checking out and promoting some sights. It all started with check in at the Hilton on the company’s dime of course. Our rooms weren’t ready, so for some unknown reason, they…

I stopped in at the IMAX Theatre on Saturday to look at the renovated daredevil museum. I don’t know if all of the details were in the article I linked to before… if they were, I missed them. The museum has moved to another part of the building and is now called the Niagara Daredevil…

She's afraid of heights. # My wife and I came down to Clifton Hill last night…
I could smell the chicken wings cooking while walking past Wild Wing at the @BaymontNiagara today # Yesterday I mentioned all of the people around. Going in/out of the city, the traffic is heavier, too. Don't worry, things are moving well. # We're going into the "Civic Holiday" weekend here in Ontario (and other places…
