    By on Wednesday, May 18th, 2011 | No Comments

    Traveling alone is not restrictive at all in my way of thinking. Like all explorers, I like the saying why do you do it. The correct

    The excitement of these waterfalls has had visitors gasping in amazement since it the first recording of them in 1604.

    The day quickly disappeared into the early evening dusk. Dusk ushered in dinner being taken at the top of the Skylon tower revolving restaurant, looking out over the Niagara Falls. Whipping up to the top in 52 seconds by a yellow elevator on the outside of the tower was exhilarating in itself.
