This weekend Kaitlin and decided to use a Groupon for the Travelodge Niagara Falls Bonaventure<\/a> that a friend gave her before it expired.\u00a0 We hopped on a 2:05pm JetBlue flight out of MCO and arrived on time just 2 hours later into BUF International Airport, then picked up our rental car from Avis.\u00a0 This was my first time using Avis, who doesn’t charge an under 25 fee if you use a corporate rental code.\u00a0 We grabbed our rental car and within about 15 minutes of landing were heading out of the airport.<\/p>\n

The drive to the border was quick, with light traffic the whole way and took around 30 minutes because of the traffic.\u00a0 Getting across was very fast (3-4 cars ahead of us) compared to what I was used to at airports, and we were asked the typical questions that are on your customs form, where are you going, why, how long, etc.\u00a0 After that, we headed to the hotel to check in, and then went to Mick & Angelo’s<\/a> for dinner.\u00a0 Mick & Angelo’s was very reasonably priced and had decent food.\u00a0 We then headed towards the falls.<\/p>\n

Tonight was the last night of the summer fireworks, and it was cold and rainy so attendance was less than stellar.\u00a0 Because of the rain, I couldn’t quite get the angle I wanted for the photos, so some of the fireworks images you’ll see are cut off.<\/p>\n
