October 13, 2017 by · Comments Off on FUN-photos: Niagara Falls & New England Fall Foliage – 10 days 

1st stop Niagara Falls – making it official that we have now been to the top 3 water falls in the world Niagara, Iguazu & Victoria together. Then it was on to lovely Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada via the picturesque Niagara River Parkway where stately country homes & vineyards vie for your attention.

  • Our 2nd stop was 3 delightful days with Don & Steve, cruise mates from our 2013 South America trip, in Boston & the Berkshires.

Then we headed north to Woodstock, Vermont & on to North Conway, New Hampshire, via the Kancamagus Highway in search of fall color & covered bridges.

  • Our last stop was Rockport, MA before we returned to Boston for our cruise.
