YAY for decisions. And Congrats on getting 'in'.

Well done on your training! It sounds like you'll definitely get a decent corral.
Your plans sound so exciting and you will be ticking off so many new places in the one trip.
I feel bad that I haven't been on the Dis much lately. After April this year, I've committed myself to no more overseas trips for years. While I'm surprisingly okay with that fact at present, I know it could take reading just one exciting TR and my saving willpower will go out the window. My track record is not great. Lol.
Despite this, I still like to share in my Dis friend's excitement, and your plans sound great. Will keep popping in every now and then to see how your plans are evolving.
On a separate note, I've been using the BitGym App this year to encourage me to use my stationary bike. A virtual bike isn't as good as the real thing, but I've still been enjoying exploring scenic places around the world. This morning I cycled around some Oregon waterfalls and it reminded me of your trip. It looks like such a lovely slice of the world.

We've bought our new house! Sorry Wendy, but I wasn't planning to post pictures of it. I hope you'll understand me being wary of sharing too much personal information on a public forum.
We were aiming to get a bit closer to the city with this place. Couldn't get as far in as we wanted to, but I think this place is a nice compromise between being a bit closer (close to half an hour) and still within striking distance of our current beautiful area. Just means we will have to make a special trip up the hill if we want to rather than driving over/around it every day. The house we've bought is still on a big block, and has a great dog park just over the road and plenty of access to trails we can use for walking/running/cycling, so I don't think we'll feel too hemmed in.
We move in early May - can't wait!
Wonderful news. I'm so happy for you! Congratulations.
Can't wait to hear all about it!
Now for audience participation time... I'd rather stay on the Canada side of the falls, but part of me is nervous about getting stuck at border control on our way to the airport on our last morning. Is this a legitimate concern? If so, I'd probably be able to relax more on the US side. We can still see the Canada side on our way through. Also, I know there are a few of you who've been. We'll have a full day there (and possibly an afternoon). What are the must do activities?
Are you worried about the border crossing at Niagara Falls? The best person to answer this might be @skier_pete . Hopefully, he'll see the tag and come along here and be kind enough to provide local intel.
