First on the agenda was crossing the border and head over to my favourite store, T.J Max... Once shopping was out of the way, next stop was Casino Niagara. Lady luck was not on my side, but I had a blast. Did justice at 'Thunder Falls' (Buffett Lunch) and came back to Canada. No line up at the border made for a quick drive across to our Hotel. Great Memories and a wonderful time in Buffalo and Niagara in New York State...

Took this picture on leaving Seneca Niagara... Christmas decorations and music everywhere. 'It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas'...

Once checked in the hotel and fired up the laptop, I was really surprised to learn that Google creates a Doodle for your birthday... We are totally being stalked and monitored :)

Here's a view from the 30th floor, unfortunately this was short lived. The epic view was replaced with fast dull grey moving clouds leaving water droplets on our windows.

Starting off the evening some sparkling stuff... and showing off my skills.... LOL

Of course it did not go as planned...Needless to say the Bubbliness went well with the Matured 15 years. 

So much for capturing 'Fireworks' in the 'Festival for lights'... Visibility close to Zero :(

So, yes the fireworks was a right off... We were so hoping it would clear up just for the duration, but the sound of the exploding bursts was the only thing we could experience that night. So, the camera gear was torn down and we headed over to Fallsview Casino for a quick game of slots (not to waste the time)  :)

Sunday, November 19th....

Here is a view from the room, the Morning after the Night before.... :) Always got to do one of these shots!!! 

It was unfortunate that I could not document the festival of lights or the Fireworks..... Mother nature has her ways and we will always loose to her. All and all it was time well spent, both in the US and Canada. Until the next adventure at the Falls.... Cheers!!!
