Niagara-On-The-Lake

After a bumpy start, I finally managed to get to my hotel in Niagara-On-The-Lake where I am attending a sales conference for work. I thought I had the perfect plan. Take a mid-day flight, arrive in the early evening, enjoy someone else driving me to the Niagara region, make arrangements for some Sunday sightseeing.

Right.

Have you ever been to North Bay, Ontario? I have..... crazy electrical storm activity caused a diversion of my flight and made for me arriving at my hotel at around 12:30 a.m. in the pitch black and regretting the fast food chicken burger I'd eaten as a last resort for dinner.

But today is a fresh new beginning. I have until 5:00 p.m. to visit the falls and take in some of Niagara's amazing wineries... that is if I can find some form of transportation. I've called 3 places so far with no luck whatsoever. It seems all the tourists in the area had the same idea as me.

It's killng me. The sun is shining and I was ready to roll at 0800 and now it's 10:20 and I'm still looking for a ride.

Maybe Niagara Falls will always be just a picture in a magazine. Sigh.
