Q. We are a couple and need a relaxed schedule. We are arriving at BUF airport at 1:00 PM on May 13th, Should we leave the next day or the day after ( flight leaving at 6:20 PM ) ? Also, we are planning to stay on the American side only coz we are not US citizens and not planning to get Canadian Visa (time & money) !
We want to do everything on the American side not just seeing the falls.
Thanks, Also, any recommendation about getting from BUF to our hotel close to the falls are welcome !!

A. Most of the attractions are actually on the Canadian side of the border. A day and a half should be more than enough time to see what is available on your own pace. You are just outside of the peak travel time to the region (usually Victoria Day through Labor Day), so you should not encounter long lines at most places.
What is the best hotel when going to Niagra Falls.?
Q. Im planning to go to Niagra Falls arounf may time and wanted to know which is hotel is best to book.
A. With hundreds of lodging choices in the area, "best" is hard to pin down, especially with no idea of any preferences or budgetary constraints from you. I normally choose to stay a little away from all the hustle and bustle, although most May dates (save for Victoria Day and Memorial Day weekends) won't be as crowded. That usually puts me in the more economical lodgings (as well as many reasonable restaurants both chain and independent) on Lundy's Lane. Staying there will put you somewhere between 1-3 miles from the falls, but you will be on a road that can take you directly to the falls. However, remember that all NF lodgings normally raise their prices up for weekend nights. It is not unusual to see a room's price double from weekday to weekend even outside of the peak travel season. Also keep in mind that many NFO lodgings (including most very close to the cataracts) charge extra for parking your car on their property which is NOT built into the lodging price shown on the web. Expect to pay between $10-$20 per night more because of that. Most Lundy's Lane lodgings offer free parking, although some have limited space.
On my last two trips to NFO, I stayed at the Rodeway Inn Fallsview on Stanley Avenue. It was right across the street from the Minolta tower, surrounded by restaurants both local and chain and was a short walking distance from the Fallsview Casino. It wasn't too far up the hill from the Falls either. A day pass on the incline could cut that down even further. Depending on when you go, the price may be more than it was for me ($65C). Nailing that deal down is up to your own research.
Three additional tips about the Rodeway Inn Fallsview:
1. Make sure it's the Rodeway Inn Fallsview on Stanley Avenue since there are three Rodeway Inns in NFO and a fourth in NY. The other three are MUCH different than this location and are not recommended.
2. This location is a hybrid where they built a new section in front of an older property. I stayed in the newer section and can report a clean and well appointed room. Some reviews claim the newer section is better than the older one. However, a 4 out of 5 smile rating from Travelocity and a three diamond rating from AAA may contradict that idea. Having only stayed in the newer section, I can't confirm it, though.
3. For some unexplained reason, I found the double bed rooms here to be cheaper than the single bed rooms. Usually, it's the other way around. I had no problem being in a double bed room (especially since the room was quite large to begin with) if it meant my stay was cheaper. Even if you only need single rooms, opening your options might get you a better price.

What is a typical day like for a reclusive billionaire?
Q. I'm looking for ideas for a fictional character who travels around the world and lives in the penthouse suites at luxury hotels. I think of him sort of like a eccentric, brooding hermit with a dark past.
A. Well if you need some help read the Count of Monte Cristo, itâs about a lowly sailor turned Millionaire(although in todays terms heâs a billionaire as he was probably one of the wealthiest people in Europe during the book). Hes got a pretty dark past, he was sent to jail for 14 years for falsely accused treason and spends almost all his time and money getting back at those that framed him for the crime. He doesnât have any friends really, except when he buys them to help in his plot, and he has a very eccentric personality, when around people he needs to become friends with. Today though its hard to say though because billionaires are always followed by paparazzi and the like so its difficult for them to be reclusive. The typical day depends on what the billionaire does, if he owns a company he usually spends time making business decisions. If hes like the one you suggest id think he just be going around spending his money on pleasure, I mean if I was a billionaire I wouldnât try to increase my wealth. Id cash out of the stock market, get all my money together and just travel the world staying in the nicest hotels, eating at the finest restaurants. Id also spend my money on collecting rare artifacts, such as Egyptian pots and weapons from 2000 years ago. Id go to museums and offer them a million bucks for some items. Id do that all over Europe, Japan, and the Middle East and when I got old and had my fun travelling and eating the finest the World has to offer, Id take all my artifacts, Id take my pictures id taken of the Eifel Tower, Victoria Falls, Hong Kong and many other things and Id buy an old, but well kept and large house in either England, or New England and fill it with those things. Then id donate 80 percent of the remaining money to charity and open up a coffee shop or something like it and live out my days running it, like I was a normal person. Thatâs just what id do as a billionaire(id try to be as reclusive as possible but again its very hard in this day and age).
