Eeeee!

Just made reservations for three nights at Niagara Falls.

This is Going to Happen!

Eeeee!

Moving on now to Binghamton.

Local-to-Binghamton NY folks:  Why is there no Carousel Tour?  Why is there no Carousel Package offered by any of the local hotels?  Golf packages -- eh.  You can take your golf packages and pitch  'em straight outta Broome County for all o'me.  A carousel package, now? You got my interest.

And now with all that excitement out of the way. . .

Time to go to work.

Hope you enjoy NF. Do you plan to cross over to the Ontario side, or will you stay in the US? For various personal reasons, I am avoiding crossing the border so will probably not be able to see you unless you come into Canada. If you do come to this side, I'd love to give you a tour of the Canadian side, having lived in NF for years.

Hi Sharon,

If you and Steve have valid passports you might want to think about crossing over to the Canadian side. The horseshoe falls are best seen from there.

Plus, based on the current exchange rate, your dollar will go further.

Yeah, a lot of people are urging me to go to the Canadian side, and there are a couple things I really would like to see over on the Other Side (besides the Falls). If we can arrange a day-trip that might happen. However, even before the present situation in which the US border guards feel especially empowered to bully, I processed their whole I'm-bigger-tougher-meaner-and-you-WILL-call-me-Sir as abuse, and it's not a pretty situation. Apparently, there are some life events that really are formative, and, no matter how old you get, they never really go away.

Funny that it's not the border guards of a Foreign Nation that worry me here...

Binghamton NY has carousel?

[ireneha]

It has been many years since I was in Binghamton NY. Hmmm 45?
Back when I was there, it was the home of the Broom Dusters Hockey, Spiedies, and State U of NY at Binghamton (AKA SUNY-Binghamton).

Spiedies seem to still be for sale in Binghamton - on Google.
They were cubed meat (of origin undefined), barbequed on skewer, and removed from skewer with a slice of rye bread.

There wasn't a carousel that I knew about. From Google, I can see that 5-6 carousels have been there something like 80 years. Maybe they weren't advertised in the 1970's ?
