Niagra Falls

I had a fantastic four day trip this week which included a 32 hour layover in Toronto. I have always wanted to drive to Niagra Falls, but have never had a long enough layover that wasn't in the middle of the winter. This time I was determined to make the trip with or without my crew. Unfortunately I had a very lame crew who were fuddy dudds and didn't have any desire to make the quick trip. I had thought about going on one of the casino trips to the falls for a cheap ride and prevent a rental car. I missed one bus by minutes and the next one wasn't for an hour, so I had time to check out the price of a rental car. Lucky for me I was able to get a great price on a rental from Avis (right across the street). I called my fellow flight attendants and Ted decided to go along for the venture. Now I need to tell you about my co-worker Ted. He is 76 years old and still working full time as a flight attendant. He was very nice and pleasant to be around, reminded me of my grandfather. On the hour drive to the Falls, he told me story after story after story. I politely listend waiting for him to get to the point of the story and sometimes it never happened. Well we finally made the trip to the falls, and it was amazing! It was a beautiful day the sun was shinning, and I barely needed a jacket. A beautiful rainbow loomed above and I really wanted to search for the pot of gold at the end. At one point there was even two rainbows above the falls. We got pretty wet standing above the falls, but I was able to get a couple great photo's.
