We're going to see the falls from the Canadian side, which is much larger. This is the bridge over.

In the Greater Buffalo area

We have arrived at our hotel near Buffalo, NY. We left around 10:30AM and got here around 11:30PM. Whew! A lot of driving --we have driven 3000+ miles so far this trip. At this hotel, Max has sniffed out the surroundings and is very satisfied with the accommodations. We will be visiting Niagara Falls tomorrow!

...No, we didn't get sick of driving. The oil change light came on and we're at the Hertz in the Montreal airport getting it changed. Slight detour.

Most hotels have first floor rooms with private entrances which is convenient when you have pets or a lot of luggage, like us
