a trip up north

Packing my suitcase as I have plans to travel with my husband, leaving in less than 48 hours. Now you need to know a bit of inside information about me to fully grasp my present thoughts. I very much like to go places and see things, even the thoughts of traveling to certain places or making definite plans for a trip stirs excitement with a great spirit of adventure oozing out all over the place.  But as the departure day approaches I get anxious, and even though I continue to give myself pep talks along the way...my home body tendencies flare to high volumes those few days prior to leaving home on a trip. Does this happen to you?

Back when I was in high school my parents planned a family vacation to drive to Niagara Falls. I was seventeen years old and intentionally getting into a car with my parents and two younger siblings seemed completely uncool. So I stayed home and never once regretted that rash immature decision. Until...well... about fifteen years ago, and I began to have a serious hankering to see Niagara Falls some time during my life time.

Opportunity has knocked, therefore, we are taking it full throttle.
Now for a question to those of you who've been to Niagara Falls, is there anything I should not miss seeing or doing while there? And, are there eating/dining places you recommend? We will also be going into Canada, so please give options for any Canadian highlights that you know of too. Thank you so much!

I shall post about my trip when I return.
