Whelp das it for the vacation...
We rented a car and headed towards Binghamton a quaint little town 3hrs northwest of New York.. Hung out there for a bit, the people were quite friendly and nice.. Ate at the Ponderosa which is like a cross between Sizzler and Hometown Buffet.. You could order a steak platter for 9$ or have an all you can eat buffet..
Hung out at the estate which was a pretty big place.. it was originally a hunting lodge that the family bought and then added and added and added and added onto.. We were chillin in the paddleboat in the middle of their private lake. It was a cool wedding.. i learned one thing from it though.. be ready waaaay earlier than supposed to or don't take as many pictures..
Afterwards went to Niagra Falls.. Boy is that place wet! They've got this package deal thing for like 25$ you get a bunch of passes to do 3 things.. The standard Old school RangerBob movie, which we missed.. The boatride which brings you to about 35feet from where the waterlands on the Horseshoe falls.. You get wet from the misting ejecta. They provide these plastic bags where you hide inside.
And the 3rd is where you go down a mineshaft and get to the bottom of the Bridal Vail falls and get splashed on, if you want.. Well it's secondary splash.. if you'd got hit from the falls itself i don't think that'd be anywhere enjoyable.. This time though you get the plastic bag BUT they also give you teva style flip-flops for you.. Woohoo! my first pair!
i just can't believe that my camera still works, i guess since it hasn't had direct contact to water, just spray, mist, snow (from boarding) on the outside it's still cool.. i'll post the pics.. one day.. when my webpage is revamped..
So things to know of the east coast..
1) There is no toilet seat covers..
2) The people are nice, they just meanmug you as a deterrant..
3) Traffic SUCKS in manhattan!
4) The speedlimit is mindnumbing! 55mph in the boonies, where theres nothing around you..
5) Toll roads are the way to go.. but you've gotta pay.. It's worth it..
6) i gotz my Magic Hat #9!! woohoo!
ok, i'm gonna get knocked out.. even though it's 6.. flying 6hrs and then getting the time reset on you is ugh.. AND i've gotta work! ick!..
