We were able to remove two items from our "Bucket List" on our most recent trip. We went to Niagara Falls and we traveled there by train.
Our Amtrak journey started out in Greenville, SC at 11:00 pm in a sleeper car. We arrived at Penn Station in New York City the next afternoon at 1:45. After changing trains, we departed Penn Station at 3:45 pm arriving in Buffalo, NY just after midnight. The train trip was unique and enlightening on what seems to be a very common way of travel for the residents of the Northeast.
While at Niagara Falls, the weather was perfect for enjoying all that the Falls offer. Our view of the Falls was incredible from the all glass "Sheraton on the Falls" located on the Canadian side. We would fall asleep at night with our large window open, listening to the roar of the water.
For the trip home, we chose the 2 hour flight over the 24 hour train ride!
