Let me walk you through the weekend.
My beautiful wife Laura and I drop our son off at about 8Am. Then we go pack the car and head off about 9. It takes us about 51/2 hours to get there, after a nice little stop at the duty free. ($24 dollar carton of Cigs, can't beat that). We cross the border. The canadian border patrol asks a lot of personal questions I was not prepared for. Like what is your name? what do you do for a living? and soforth. I didn't know that I was going to be psychoanalized by a freakin french canadian. I was like "if you really want to know, I always saw myself as an actor but I got stuck in the security industry which leaves me professionally wanting more, but never able to live my dream of doing tide commercials for a pittance and the chance to be an extra on entourage or fat actress": lol I just said "I am in the security industry". He waived me through, I guess I don't look as dangerous as I used too.
We get to the hotel, The marriot fallsview. I should of known something was amiss when the Valet told me that the service was free, but the front desk still charged me $20.00 a night to park. The will get your car for free, but rent you a mandatory space. How nice.
We look at the falls, pretty but it makes you want to pee. The dinner at the worst olive garden "wanna be" named My Cousin Vinnie's (I'm Serious). For a meal that was edible. After that we were waiting for the next day's direct depost to go through so we blew some money at the Roulete Table. Got a bottle of wine and watched X-men 3 on spectra vision. That was a good evening.
Be prepared for "The Canadian Saga" Part two to be posted later, I have to go home and pee, just thinking of the falls does something to my insides.
