Don't know how to resize the pic. But that was the view out of our room at the Falls View Marriott. I was a bit out of my league but what the hell we only stayed two nights. The breakfast for 6 people was $145.00.

All had a good time, other than it rained all day Saturday. Been busy trying to catch up at work, I will post some pics soon. We had a fabulous view out our Hotel window.

Nice! Have a good trip. Post a pic or two.
(wouldn't it be great to have them open it up to see the FULL waterfall?)

Band that was playing down there on the riverfront in front of the Ren Cen next to Hart Plaza? .... Took me a bit to place them even though I knew the songs they were playing (jamming, I might add), Loverboy! HAAAA!

Finally getting around to pictures. Here is one I took just for you (and DF if he shows his furry head again), HB. Cannon in Detroit pointing right into Windsor!
Hell if those Ontario bastards are gonna swim OUR half of the river! We'll blow up the casino!

Interesting shot. Detroit on the right, Windsor, Ontario on the left. The Ren Cen in the distance between my friends' heads.
Damn, I really miss the sound and sight of the freighters passing. Canada in the background.
Anyone who counts Detroit as being "down and out" is a damn fool. Plus, we are kicking ASS in baseball !!!

Well, a "travel" is accurate but a "vacation" to the place where you grew up? Anyhoo, it fits.
Bud, for you. The picture I asked you to take if you came to Detroit. The Metal Mecca that is Harpos! OLD school architecture to be sure. Went by it yesterday as I spent most of the day today prepping and sailing in two lightening class sailboat races around Lake St. Clair. Anyone who knows sailboats will understand it.
Nice shot of Harpos but, as I said, it sits in no-man's-land. Funny as I went for a run just before and decided not to clean up as I was going to see some friends who are mechanics in the city. So, I hope you appreciate that I took shots of this building (and surrounding area that I'll post upon request) wearing brilliant-colored running shoes / tech shirt / shorts. HA! The drunks that seem to live on the corner behind where I took this shot were staring at me like some sort of alien. Still, anything for the shot!

so you get cool mountains, waterfalls, canyons, wildlife, and then you get bison, gysers, mud pits, hot springs. Think it was 89 I went as a kid, so its been a while.
Saskatoon will only be a blast if the hotel kitchen catches fire.

Do give a full report after your trip to Yellowstone. Safe travels to Saskatoon as well, LOL! Sounds like a blast.

Odd to read the comments. While their family sued and won a "no-fault" settlement of $5 mil US, the opinions were divided. Yeah there should have been a sign but the guy should have known better.
Beautiful island. That makes three islands for me. A little on the commercial side but if you catch a good day, the hiking (and camping, so I am told) is outstanding.
