Oh, gosh. M's mom lives 3 1/3 hours away from Niagara, but it would be great to go see her. I'll see if we have any flexibility around then (probably not, though, what with me being out of work for a full year). (Also nearish there - Stratford! Just as picturesque as Slings & Arrows made it out to be.)
However, Epic, if you decide that Canada is a non-starter (I know Ontario has had... issues... around lockdown, and NF is heckin' touristy and therefore super crowded), we'd be happy to have you up here in SF!
Canada is not letting Americans in for casual travel I’m sorry to say. Maybe by June that will change.
Urgh. Thanks for the info, Brenda. There's always the NY side...I hear it's not as nice, but in a pinch...
My Canadian next door neighbors are staying here in Florida indefinitely rather than planning a return home for summer because pretty much everything is still closed for them at home.
Oh, as usual, dear.
Does anyone have any experience of the US side of the falls? Other than my friends in PA choosing to take me to the Canadian side instead and, uh, Wonderfalls, I know nothing about it.
If the boat trips are running, (and you’d definitely want to do them if you can) then it could still be worth a visit.
Here’s a comparison that might be helpful. [link]
But for coming a long distance it seems like waiting might be just as well.
Very cool. Thanks, Brenda!
So, I'm turning 50 in June.
I'm turning 50 on Friday. Last year during my covid birthday party we talked big plans about how next year when I turn 50 it will be a big deal and a big party and all of that.
looks around at country
Yeah.
I fear I will fall into a single-childless-nobody-loves-me hole of DOOM depression.
Ugh. I hear you on that I’ve definitely been there in the past (though as I told my doctor the other day I’ve been very impressed at the heavy lifting my antidepressant has been doing in this pandemic, I’ve not had this feeling nearly as much as I’d expect otherwise!)
I hear you ND. My big 50 vacation is on indefinite hold.
