vacation...

Post by mb_rockstar »

it's been a long time since i've gone on a vacation with my parents. actually, 3 years to be exact. at the end of may, we're planning to visit niagara falls and sight-see around the area.

i have a long list of things i want to explore while i'm still young and niagara falls was one of them....my next one is alaska :) i would love to witness the aurora borealis!

so what place(s) you would like to visit?

Sovannah? No, we stopped talking ever since most of us left HKEC... How is he doing? Did you meet him by accident or was that a pre-arranged marriage? :P

Disposable camera... Now, do you throw them away first or after the pictures are developed?

LOL* well, should i limit myself from travelling?...i don't think i should. if i have an opportunity to go somewhere, i'm gonna take it.

hmm...does that sounds bad? i'm definately going to try to convince him to go, but if he says no, then no it is. i'm not going to force him to go.

niagara falls is basically a tourist attraction, sight seeing and the places on clifton hill are basically it, and of course those mini clubs with TONS of college kids every weekend.


I like the place tho, i like to dine there, there is alot to visit, i love going to that game place (i forgot the name, it's on the tip of my touge.ar.....) I always break those recording on those Shooting Games.

CASINO is probably the heaviest attraction,

Usually when i go to niagara falls, I live in hilton or sherton with the falls view, it's so great to hear the sounds while viewing the whole falls.... the rooms are pricy at times but since i live close by i usually go when there's specials.


Oh yeah, u should go to the casino on the Buffalo Side of it, It's brand new !

Of course not :) Heck, if he doesn't go, ask him to meet me again and I'll kick his butt for you :roll:

How is your buddy doing anyway?

yea i walked around clifton hill and jumped around to those mini clubs, like rumours and mardi gras and...hmm...there were more but i don't remember them. the clubs were just ok....maybe it was just bad timing for me or something.

sports zone! i didn't go there, but yea they have games and stuff there.

i went to the casino there....i couldn't believe there was actually a line to get in!!! it's was crazy and when you got in, everyones smoking! i'm like whoa...this is interesting.

i stayed at the embassy suite on the 30th floor. it was such a beautiful falls view.


yea next time i visit, i'll stop by the buffalo casino :)
