Our Adventures in Niagara Falls, Ontario - Day 4 - by Anne Shier (a.k.a. "Annie")

Saturday July 19, 2014 – Day 4:

Last night and today, Brent and I decided that when planning next year’s trip here, we will consider whether to register ourselves into the Skyline Inn instead, which is attached to the Fallsview Water Park, or just come back to the Comfort Inn.  We had such a great time regardless that it probably won’t matter where we stay, but the Comfort Inn is closer to the Clifton Hill attractions than the Skyline Inn is.  Plus, there may be a significant price difference, so we would have to decide whether to stay two or three nights.  However, there's plenty of time.  That will be decided next summer.

In any event, we left the Comfort Inn, had a quick breakfast at Tim Horton’s, and then went back to pay the bill, check out, and give our three key cards back.  We were still allowed to keep the car parked in the inn’s parking lot (until 2:00 pm they said), but all we wanted now was to get out of Niagara Falls before the weekend traffic got too bad.

We ended up driving to Hamilton via Hwy. 420 from Niagara Falls, then taking Hwy. 407 straight home from Hamilton.  That part of our trip, on Hwy. 407, took only 50 minutes, which surprised me, and Brent and James dropped me off just before 1:30 pm at my home in Ajax.  Dave, my roommate, was home and he expressed shock at seeing us arrive so early in the day.


Now, Dave will get to spend some time with Brent and James next week at his brother, Rob’s cottage in Cobeconk, Ontario, and I will be left at home alone for five days.  I wonder what that will be like after our noisy and busy adventure in Niagara Falls?
