Canada Success!

Notwithstanding our problems with the expected border crossing, we were able to distract the border agent with some folksy talk about our love of mooses and hockey.

We checked in at the Fallsview Marriott and got a room overlooking the falls on the top floor (Tony RUMJog is Platinum level for the avoidance of doubt). The Canada side is much better than the American side - the contrast is almost as stark as East and West Berlin in the 1960's.

The exchange rate is 1.37 so essentially $3 gets you C$4. There is a nice casino next to hotel and we will check it out tonight. Hopefully Canada plays by the same rules as Vegas.

2017 Niagara Falls Jaunt

Tony RUMJog is reactivating the hugely popular Pedantic Prattles blog feeds.

TJ and I are off to Niagara Falls. Here we are in the United lounge in Terminal A awaiting our flight to Buffalo.

We are going to attempt to stay on the Canada side and have made reservations next to the horseshoe falls.

Both TJ and I have some issues with the Canadian authorities and there is no guarantee that we will be able to cross the border.

Plan A - act straight and hope they waive us through.

Plan B - sneak across border later tonight.

Plan C - dress up like Mexican field hands and swim across.

We will keep you posted.
