We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

Heute stand natürlich der Besuch der Niagara Fälle auf dem Programm. Es handelt sich dabei um zwei Wasserfälle: einer auf der amerikanischen Seite mit einer Kantenlänge von 360m und einer auf der kanadischen Seite (790m). Wobei der kanadische spektakulärer aussieht, und auch eine höhere Fallhöhe besitzt (52m). <br>Mit einem Ausflugsboot konnten wir dann ...

... above and beyond the call of duty. <br><br>As we were driving into the town looking for a place to park, I caught a glimpse of the fall from the car it filled up the whole window!<br><br>We took the Maid of the Mist boat ride into the bottom of the falls. The power of the falls can truly be felt as you feel the wind from the water crashing down right next to you.<br><br>Before you get on the ...

... per minute, to fill one million bath tubs! Nothing prepares you for the ice-wind on your face, or the mist that settles on you, and you could swear it was rain. Photos - they help us imagine, but no photo in the world can make you feel. This is a feeling that has been shared by millions and millions before us. And as I gaze in awe at this natural wonderment, I wonder (as I ...

... get your passports. Law is changing and they will soon not accept driver's licenses or birth certificate. Huge pain going through customs. No problem getting into Canada, but getting back into U.S. took an hour + each time. Must do---take Maid of the Mist boat ride. It's cheap and well worth the view. The boat takes you right next to the falls. Next ...

We then drove back to Niagara and were tyring to decide how to spend the rest of our day before we went into Canada to go to dinner at the revolving restaurant, Skylon. This part is such a long story I will have to tell it in person. Sheila knows how on every vacation we have some sort of hiccup with proper documentation.

If you visit the Niagara Falls and if you have time I recommand you to visit also the city Niagara-on-the-Lake which is very cute in summer. <br><br>It is not so far from the falls (about 20 km, 30 minutes by car or taxi - I took the taxi which is convenient but not too expensive). <br><br>This small city is quiet ...

... to h*ve more time bec*use I w*nted to visit the city Ni*g*r*-on-the-L*ke which is pretty close (*bout 30 minutes by c*r - 20 km). The org*nis*tion of the Chinese *gengy w*s ok but the only free se*t were in the l*st bus (in summer there *re m*ny tourists,much more th*n in winter) *t 11:00/12:00 PM.

... worth a visit if ever you get here. I'm coming back even if its to get a full video of the flight - Then we made our way to a winery close by that makes icewine. This wine is a dessert wine and the grapes are hand picked when they are frozen for a minimum of 3 days. Then they are crushed while still frozen. Nice stuff - so I had to buy a little bottle. But nothing beats a Margarita over icecream though :) Folks until the next post - - - Cheers Troy
