Going to Canada

If you do return through Niagara Falls there are plenty of very reasonable
restaurants there. A great pancake house on Lundy's Lane (cannot remember
the name but close to Stanley street...white brick if I recall correctly).
The food is cheap, the helpings are plentiful, and the quality and service
is great. Also grab a soft pretzel or waffle cone on Clifton Hill in the
Falls. And for a great way to spend some time (and it costs nothing to do
so) see the locks at St. Catherines. Large ships of all types traverse the
locks and it is a fascinating way to spend a few hours just watching the
ships being raised and lowered. Great place for a picnic lunch too. Be sure
to travel through the town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Absolutely beautiful town
that is faithful to the early 1800s.

Thanks,
I have been to Niagara Falls a few times before, but never crossed the
border. I was actually thinking of leaving the US from there. I have
family in northern PA along route 81 and I thought I might drop in and say
hi. I suppose I need to look how to plan the route a little better. Now
that I have found out (from multiple NG's, google, and friends) some places
to check out I should be able to create a good itinerary. Thanks again!

Looks nice.

Hmmm... I will look into it!
