Toronto, Niagra & New York on the cheap?!

2456

Comments

  • We're going to do the trip Toronto - Niagara Falls - NYC this summer. Going by bus from Toronto to NF, spend the day there and hit over to the US in the evening by crossing one of the bridges to Buffalo. Have found a cheap hotel there (close to a huge shopping centre and close to Buffalo airport). Next morning we're flying to JFK (jetblue.com, 4 people for £150). The train from NF takes about 11 hours or so and is suppose to be a nice ride, but the time it takes...! I've taken the idea from another, earlier post to this forum.

    I have to recommend the Medieval Times, I'm not usually impressed by these kinda shows, but I was really impressed by the show they put on in Toronto, the guys really threw themselves into it. :)

    And the Old Spaghetti Factory is a very cheap, fun, central place for a meal in Toronto. :)

    As for Niagara falls ...... Kinda like Blackpool with a waterfall, not much else. :)

    Don't expect too much from the drive between Toronto and NY. Nowt much to see other than service stations and a whole bunch of buzzards with impressive wingspans. :)

    Take the more interesting route through Finger Lakes, Elmira (sp?) etc. Upstate New York is gorgeous! (But Tojo is right, highways are boring!)
