Daytripping to Niagara Falls

Setting: A husband and wife are planning a daytrip from Toronto to Niagara Falls

= Husband      = Wife

Let's go to Niagara Falls this weekend for Canada Day

Great idea, let’s go!  We need to get a good map because we’ve never been to the Falls before.

The car rental place gave me a map of Southern Ontario, which includes the Niagara Region.

Let's look at the map.

Hmm, here's Toronto, and here's Niagara Falls.

We'll take the Queen Elizabeth Way Westbound to the QEW Niagara. We'll stop at a few places along the way.

We could visit Niagara on the Lake. There are many vineyards and fruit stands along the side roads.

That's a great idea. We could pick up some fruits and vegetables and have a picnic by the Niagara Parkway in Niagara on the Lake.

That sounds like fun. I'd like to have a picnic by Lake Ontario.

We should try to get to Niagara Falls by mid-afternoon.

I want to take the boat tour called, 'Maid of the Mist'. It goes right under the Falls and the mist rains all over you.

I'd love to do that too! I've seen a picture, and the tourists all have raincoats on while they're in the boat. It looks like fun.

Don't forget the camera. I want to take lots of pictures of the falls.

I won't forget. I hope we see a rainbow at Niagara Falls.

I'm looking forward to the fireworks at night.

What time should we leave tomorrow?

We should leave right after breakfast, say 9:00 am because there will be heavy traffic on the highway.

Sounds good. Let's get everything ready tonight; the camera, the map, sunhats, sunscreen, and some snacks.

I think that's everything then. We just need to stop at the bank tomorrow morning.
