    Hmmm, the mustang was only on special offer to Canadians........ so no luck there. I'm definitely going to be hiring a car and going down to Niagara, but whats the score if I want to cross the border into the US there? Can I just turn up and cross with my UK passport, do I need a visa or what? And what about crossing the border with a hire car?

    I've never had any problems with crossing into the US, but it's probably a good idea for you to have your passport and some other ID (drivers licence) if you're planning to visit the US. I believe Simon had an interesting experience trying to cross the US-Canada border on one of their visits.

    Shame about the Mustang. You couldn't claim they were discriminating against you or something, eh??

    Love, Scully

    well,well well, Gadget.....You will love it in The Falls.....You will have so much to do there. I am only a 2 hours from there...There are a few as well that post here that live closer then me. You will have to bring extra $$$ though for that new Casino they have there. It is awsome though. They have all sorts for you to do there. They also have the wax musiums. Just walking along the falls or up and down the main street will keep you intertained for days.( Like I said though, you will need quite a bit of $$$$$ to stay in the Niagra area, as it is the tourist part of Ontario)Now has far as crossing the boarder (the Buffalo boarder)...You will need your visa, ID, and or pass port to cross the border. If your in a rental car, they more then likely WILL give you a hard time. When my cousins were here from England, they rented a car and we went over to the States, and it was NOT a very nice experience for them, not saying that yours will be. If your nose is clean, and you have a good criminal record, you should get over with a little bit of patients, as you will be pulled over and checked for every nook and cranny...You will have 2 things to tend to. One being your from another country other then Canada and crossing into another country, and number 2 being your going in a rental car. Make sure you have the name of the hotel that you are at, your plane ticket dates,Insurance slips for the rental car, where you rented the car from and be honest with them if you have a criminal record. If your honest and up front with them, you will have know problems. They can and will try to be intimitating.With the dates you have spoken of, it is also close to May2/4 weekend here. That is our first long weekend here of the year, and people kinda of get a little excitied about it...In other words, there is a whole lot of partying. If your here for that weekend, and your interested in doing some camping, I can help ya out on that part. I have alot of camping supplies that you could use, including a tent or small trailer if your interested in doing some Canadian camping!!.( just take note though, I dont know if I could get the supplies to Niagra if thats were your interested in camping..If you dont care where you camp, them pm me, I will have no problems, accomadating you.) If there is anything else that you need to know, just pm me.

    I dont know what has happened to my post, but honestly, I'm not spying on anyone....why does it look like that? It has never done that in the past, and like most of you know, I am new to the computer.....

    Morty, if you have downloaded a program, it may have spyware or malware (malicious software) that acts like a virus. If you have SmileyCentral, or other browzer programs or cursor programs...........well these sometimes have spy-bots on them.

    I spent a week in Montreal and drove up to Quebec city, it's fabulous and the old town is very much like Paris. Niagara is beautiful but the town is as tacky as it comes, I was a bit dissapointed. If you are looking to stay there is a great back packers place there run by a french guy. It's dead cheap and does a good breakfast.
