Well at least even though all the drama in Chicago, we arrive on time. Better sleep soon, I have an interview tomorrow!
]]> Why did I use United? — Chicago, Illinois, United States http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/yigehaoren/2008/1252949139/tpod.html http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/yigehaoren/2008/1252949139/tpod.html#comments Travel Blogs http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/yigehaoren/2008/1252949139/tpod.html Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:28:50 -0400 My first trip to Toronto, ON in about 13 years!
Chicago, Illinois, United States

OK we are finally figured out what happened. Let's just say long story short noone knows where to go to get on the plane since they changed the gate and nobody bothered to make sure everyone is aware of the situation, and it was not easy to find anyone from United. Now that I thought about it, I don't even know why I didn't take Southwest to Buffalo instead and just drive to Toronto.

Anyway, I will avoid other airlines as much as I can.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

It's around 11PM now. We just got back to the hotel. Tomorrow most likely we won't be doing anything and just leave for the airport. It has been a really fun trip.
]]> The great Niagara Falls — Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/yigehaoren/2008/1252946794/tpod.html http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/yigehaoren/2008/1252946794/tpod.html#comments Travel Blogs http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/yigehaoren/2008/1252946794/tpod.html Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:51:44 -0400 My first trip to Toronto, ON in about 13 years!
Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

It took us almost 3 hours if not more to get here, but it was well worth it. I haven't been here for maybe 23 years or so. I can't remember whether I was in the US side before or in the Canadian side. I think I was in the Canadian side before. Anyway, just awesome. We could stay longer to watch firework at 10PM, but we decided to leave now. It's about 8PM now. The traffic is crazy. There are a lot of people. I guess because tomorrow is Labor day. There are so many other things to do around here, but we only care about the falls, so we didn't even bother with other stuff. Definitely good place for a visit.

Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

We've been trying to go through local roads since the freeway is totally jammed. Unfortunately this time we took the wrong turn so now we have to make a big detour through Hamilton. Argh...oh well at least we get to see some part of Hamilton
]]> Passing by Oakville — Oakville, Ontario, Canada http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/yigehaoren/2008/1252945912/tpod.html http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/yigehaoren/2008/1252945912/tpod.html#comments Travel Blogs http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entries/yigehaoren/2008/1252945912/tpod.html Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:35:43 -0400 My first trip to Toronto, ON in about 13 years!

The freeway is totally jammed. We are taking a bit of a detour going through Oakville. I have a feeling this will be a long drive.....

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

We just finished eating lunch at 360 in CN Tower. The food was pretty good and considering that we didn't have to pay the entry ticket, it was worth it. The view was amazing too. Now we are leaving for Niagara Falls. It will be about 1.5-2 hours drive.

So right now we are just getting dessert and boba milk tea at Destiny Dessert while chatting. I'm sure it's going to be pretty late by the time we leave here.
