Last time I came through Niagara Falls was at the beginning of an east-to-west cross-country drive in 2005. I only saw the falls from the American side. 

This time everything's flipped around. I'm seeing the falls from the Canadian side at the end of a west-to-east cross-country drive. 

Last time I saw there were these huge towering hotels on the Canadian side. I said "Someday I'm going to see the falls from the top of one of those hotels. That's exactly where I'm sitting as I write this blog post.  

Pretty freaking spectacular. 

If you saw what I'm seeing in Africa or Asia you'd think it was pretty exotic.  

I'll be in NYC tomorrow for sure, Murphy-willing. ">
