The Journey To The Falls

I feel like I've spent four hours being sat on by a 25 stone dinner lady. We arrived at Niagara Fallsview last night after a mammoth 18 hour journey which involved two flights, two cab rides, a screaming kid and two customs officers asking me awkward questions about how much money I've brought into the US and Canada. The flights weren't bad to be fair, but lugging four massive cases across the world is never fun. I was so tired last night all I could manage to do was woof back a burger then hit the sack. I've just had my customary 5am jet lag wander around and first impressions of Niagara Fallsview are that it's good. The place is just like a Vegas casino with these advantages ;

No smoking indoors at all
Friendly staff
The Falls!

Free Internet

We're here for four nights and I wished I'd booked a week. The word stunning doesn't do the falls justice. I've had a sneaky go on Craps and the Wheel of Fortune and won $210 in about half hour which helps. The poker room is basic with only 2/5 and 5/5 NLHE going at 5am, but it'll do.
I need to get all the tourist things done with the falls before I play any poker, so I might not post a tournament report until Vegas on Thursday. I might sneak a bit of cash in but I'm so bad at NL cash I'm just giving it away. Anyway it's 7.11am and high time the wife left her pit.....
