I'm not going anywhere near Florida until hurricane season is over :truce:

I might if our lovely Pixie ladies would agree to hold us and comfort us and pamper us and do all those sexy things we talk about. :boink:

Okay if that happens I might reconsider

You're just a pair of hurricane harlots!

I'm a cyclone slut myself, so we're probably related.

Got me pegged, there, OF. Oh yeah, how about Tempted by Typhoons? :)

So, because I like to blow under a skirt, :undies: does that make me a tornado tramp or crotch cousin.

^^^^ Yes. :boink:

Pantie Pucker

Just as an aside to the Falls, Niagara is also home to an outstanding wine region called Niagara on The Lake....a very short drive away...some great wines and wineries...

As well, they just opened a huge indoor water park in Niagara...

Not too mention, for those who have never been, there's the Maid Of The Mist boat ride which goes right up to the falls...a very cool boat ride...

It's on our list.

Maid of the Mist? I would love to do it but I can't be responsible if our group is short one when we dock. :halo:

You don't mean the Panty Falls? :yikes:

Would hardly be the first time he's gone overboard... :roflmao:

Panties fall?!?!?! :kissass:

Did somebody say "panties fall"? :loveshowe






OH! :(
I guess that's not what she meant :boohoo:

PF maybe when the panties get all wet(from the mist :huh: ) they will fall :kissass:

So what do you want to do?
 

For the people that are going to Pixies Adult Gathering At Niagara, there is going to be a large selection of things to do. As you can see from just a few minutes of surfing, there is a LOT of things built around such an attraction. I want to take a moment and speak to the first time visitor to the Falls.

It is the attraction it is, because of the truly fantastic natural phenomena. Niagara Falls IS considered one of the Natural Wonders Of The World. Perhaps we who have had this spectacular occurrence available are guilty of taking it for granted. We also are hampered by the fact that our language created superlatives, but uses them on such trivial things. I can only tell you this is where words like “awesome”, “amazement” “astonishment”, and “wonder” have their root and purpose. “Ya really had to be there!” is a superlative phrase that had to be first muttered in this place.

It requires a second visit to be able to intellectually take in the Falls. Your first close contact with the incredible power is very emotional, what some of us consider spiritual. I share this consensus after discussions with others and do not merely present my opinion. Therefore, I would also like to share the consensus of joint experience in recommending things you want on your “Must Do” list.

As for Falls focused attractions, there are many as your surfing will show. You can do everything from take a pricey helicopter ride over them, to jet boat rides into the whirlpool, to getting that picture of yourself against the railing with the Falls in the background or at the famous floral clock. (That is a pic you will put in the album with your graduation and wedding pics and they’re free.) Here are the three ways to experience the Falls that you will try to do at least two of. They are reasonable in price and acceptable in time.

Maid of the Mist...
There's no better way to see Niagara Falls than on the world-famous Maid of the Mist. People from all over the world have been enjoying the spectacular views this boat offers since 1846. Once on board you will be given a hooded raincoat and will get up close and personal with the breathtaking Niagara Falls scenery. The experience will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
$14.00

Journey Behind the Falls...
Experience Niagara Falls from a different angle! Take a journey to experience the rim of the gorge where you will witness the falls dropping over 13 stories. While you're safely nestled on the observation platform, you will get up close and personal with the power of the fall exploding into the basin below. Located at the scenic Table Rock, it's a spectacle that is sure to be remembered.
$10.00

(There is also a Next to-Behind the Falls attraction that is perhaps the best opportunity to experience the American Falls and the strongest point of attraction for the US side.)

Whirlpool Aero Car
High above the racing Niagara River, you'll look eye to eye with birds soaring effortlessly on thermal updrafts rising from the gorge. Suspended in space you share their point of view. Far below the torrent of water abruptly changes direction, creating one of the world’s most mesmerizing natural phenomenon – The Niagara Whirlpool. Sometimes frightening and always unforgettable.
$11.00


With the different interests, schedules and available time of each person, it is on them to take in these Falls astonishments on their own Friday, Sunday or early Saturday. Saturday afternoon and evening are slatted to be Pixie fellowship.

:wave:

Tents will be set up along the shore of the mighty waters at the Days Inn Niagara North meadows on 12 August 2006 for Pixies Adult Gathering At Niagara. Each tent will have 2 Queen beds, gas fireplace, colour television, in room movies, in room coffee, hairdryer, individual climate control and full bathroom.

For two adults it will cost $CAD 228.00 ($USD 191.25) [plus the hefty Canadian tax which will drop to 14% by then] for that night. For the people interested in sharing a room, there is an aditional $CAD 10.00 per person. The same room is available on Friday for $CAD 168.00 ($USD 141.12) and also on Sunday the 13th for $CAD 148.00 ($USD 124.00) for Pixies that may be staying an additional night to take in the many unique attractions.

A block of 10 rooms has been set aside until 16 July 2006 for “Pixie Gathering” by which time our reservations MUST be reserved. Being the peek of tourist season, they will not guarantee availability of a room, period, and surely not together.

PM me for a list of Pixies that have said they are planning to attend if you are interested in sharing the cost of a room. Please let me know after you have made your reservation so I can double check their list. I will be sending a package to each Pixie when the reservations are set.

Good work, PF. Sorry I've been a crappy Canuck connection lately.

SDLS & Boog & I are planning on sharing a room. I'll chip in the $10 for your cot, if you want to stay in our room. :D

I've already sent in my $25 for your cage. :whack:

I’ve just been told some Pixies are intending to optimize the Pixie Adults Gathering At Niagara and will be staying a number greater than one night.

OldFart and Mrs. OldFart will be arriving in Buffalo NY on Thurday, 10 August, and making their way across the border to Niagara, Canada. He expressed hopes of happily meeting any Pixies as they take in some of the sights on Friday, before PAGAN on Saturday. I want to give the break-down for additional hotel nights for the people that have already told me they will be staying added days.

As we know, August is the peek tourist season and the inn keepers know it too. :cheers: Their registers ring louder in this month and also by the day of the week. This same room was available for $48 on a Wednesday night in April. :curse: lol

Thursday $CAD 108.00 ($USD 90.72)
Friday $CAD 168.00 ($USD 141.12)
Saturday $CAD 228.00 ($USD 191.52)
Sunday $CAD 148.00 ($USD 124.32)

Anyone able to be there on a Friday or Sunday night can enjoy the added attraction of the free fireworks display over the Falls. :nana:

Steph I thought the cot was for Solon and PF was sleeping in the car?!?!?!?!?

LOL You always have the better ideas, sdls!

I wish I could stay there longer but it's busy at work during that time. I hope to finish work at 12:30 a.m. (Saturday morning). Still not sure what time we'll be meeting. I don't often see 10 a.m. anymore so I might be sleep deprived.

We'll keep ya awake Steph........wish we could stay longer too, but the money won't be that lasting.

Ok, PF, you've been warned...be prepared to explain that stash of silky things stuffed in the trunk...

Only six more working days before I start the wander that'll end at Niagara.

The time's going too fast.

OF, I'm jealous. My vacation will be over then.

I wonder if I can kick our guests out early that weekend so I can drive to meet M/Mrs Oldfart's?

You have our permission. ;)


I think they are coming a little further to meet Pixies than we have to drive. :car:

Heck, Coaster...bring your guests *with* you. Just tell em you met all those wonderful peeps on a photography forum! :D

Woo Hoo ... Falls Hotel reservations are made. We've crossed the Rubicon ... er ... Illinois River ... well ... we're already on the the east side of the Illinois ... so maybe just the Wabash or something. :rolleyes2

This thing has truly a life of it's own.

If PAGAN 06 is at Niagara, will PAGAN 08 be Nebraska, Nome or North L.A.?

Nebraska sounds good ... why, there are counties there that only have one small town. We could make it a county wide event. :D

(I was born in Omaha, Nebraska although we moved while I was still a baby.)
