Things to do

There is a LOT to do in Niagara Falls, and that it's true if you go with kids and it's true if you go as a romantic getaway ;)

The season is very important, a friend told me that in winter you could see the ice falling and that it's amazing, we saw pictures of summer and I can't wait to get back, and you have this week, when you don't see any of those things and the maid of the mist is not working, but still is enjoyable ^^ Another thing, when you were far from the falls, it was hot and nice, when you got close it was REALLY COLD xD

These are some of the things we did :)

Journey Behind the Falls: It's $12 for adults and $7.2 for kids. You get in a elevator that takes you to a tunnel where you can walk behind the falls! There are a few places where you can get close like this one:

And where the sound is LOOOOUUUUDDDD, and there are places where you can get a little bit to the side and really close ;)



Butterfly Conservatory: $11 for adults and $6.50 for kids. This is a place to go most of all with kids that enjoy insects and/or butterflies, they are free all over the place and it's a nice place, but I don't recommend it that much ^^


Whirlpool Aero Car: $11 for adults and $6.5 for kids. In this one you get in that red aero car you can see at the end of the whirlpool and get a round trip from point to point across the whirlpool :) It's a nice ride, I like it more than the butterfly conservatory but don't find it as amazing as journey behind the falls ;)


White Water Walk: $8.50 for adults and $5 for kids. In this one you get into an elevator that takes you down and close to the river :) then you can walk in this little bridge while walking really close to the water. I loved this one, I'm taking my family for sure, since you are so close, it feels great!!


Clifton Hill: This one is "free". It's an area with LOTS and LOTS of attractions, haunted houses, ripley's believe it or not, guiness records, etc, etc, etc, it has everything! We even played some mini golf ^^ Beware that this one is free to look from outside but it's hard to your pocket when you want to go in ;)


The Skywheel: $9.99 for adults and $5.99 for kids. This one is really fun and it's located in the heart of Clifton Hill, but I must warn you, even though it goes really slow, is not for people who is afraid of close spaces and/or highs, I had a really hard time in there, but worth it!


Hope this can help you decide what to do on your next trip :D Always look for some coupons or packages to these rides, but if you are going to take a package I recommend the ones where you can do it in the order you want for as much time as you want :)

Next post, how to get there!!! ^^

Niagara Falls!!

I think is more than time to talk about last week xD Our 3 year anniversary was on April 16 and we celebrated with 2 beautiful nights in Niagara Falls! We left on friday and stayed there until sunday.

I really have no words to describe how beautiful and amazing they are, I actually lost my balance a few times when my legs gave in before such a view.

We stayed at the Marriott hotel in a junior presidential suite, and it was the best of the best! The service was great, the installations beautiful, and the room a dream:

But still, nothing compares to what we went to see, the amazing falls, and the incredible view we had from our room!!:

At night they light the falls, and it's a little difficult to take pictures that would show how spectacular they look, even more when you just found the trick and the battery dies on you, even so, a little picture at night :)

What else did we do? more about it in following posts!! Meanwhile, you can see the pictures in my picasa ;) Niagara Falls

Job offer

As you know, I was working at Konverge and Know as an intern with Career Bridge, I really appreciate that opportunity and recommend the program to everyone that can use it and it's thinking about it!

After saying that, I proudly announce that I quit last week! Why am I proud about that? Because I did it after getting a job offer from Konverge and Know as a Solution Developer :D

I'm really happy about it, since I really like my job (well, ok, sometimes I don't) and the people there, and when I took the job as an intern I set a 3 months limit where I should get a job offer there or start looking someplace else, hey, that's the only way you can get better opportunities!

Well, now I have the same responsabilities with the same work hours but with a full time title, better wage and benefits :D and I love it!!
