Niagara Falls.

With some time to travel for pleasure, we agreed to meet Mom and Mike in Niagara Falls for a week. We drove from GA to.....Chattanooga. Not too far, but the truck decided to be disagreeable and not go any further. We limped along the side of the highway to a campground just 6 miles away (we were very thankful that it was there). Also in our favor was the fact that there was a Volvo repair facility about 10 miles from the campground. We felt very fortunate to be in such a good location. There are much worse places to be broken down. It turned out that the transmission was not shifting properly and we needed a part. So, $800 and 2 days later we continued on our trek north actually arriving in Niagara Falls on time. It was a good thing we left ourselves plenty of time to get there. Instead of a couple of short driving days we had 1 long one.

We were happy to arrive in Canada, until we reached customs. Now, we expected to be searched and asked questions, but we felt violated. We sat on the side of the inspection area for about 1/2 hour while they searched the truck and RV with a very fine-toothed comb.

We were finally sent on our way and found our camp ground easily. Mom and Mike had made it there before us, so we got set up and met them at their hotel. We had a very nice week in Canada. The falls were magnificent and time with Mom and Mike is always nice. Niagara Falls is a very touristy place and we spent a lot there, but a good time was had by all.
