DP TOUR 2011 - Niagara Falls

[daschoundsrule]

Oh wow. Thank you for including me in on your great trip to the Falls. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. Next time I WILL BE THERE....Love you guys.

[Sadie G]

I forgot to say Happy Birthday to you in MICC Michelle! So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I'm glad you enjoyed the photos as a present

Kris, I don't remember hearing anything about there being more water. Several of us went on the Maid of the Mist though, and being that up and close to the falls was an awesome experience. We were all saying WOW!!!

Cyndy, we love you too! We were thrilled to get to talk to everyone who was able to. We really do have a wonderful group of people in this group!

I did read a little bit and it looks like England was suggested next. We are planning (hopefully) to go to London in 2013, so 2 years from now would be good for us too. I have to start saving NOW for that trip though!!

Del is sound asleep and I should be too. I'm so exhausted, but very happy We're off to Toronto tomorrow!
I got to see and get some great photos of the history of Joseph Brant here in Brantford. It was awesome to experience, knowing that I was looking at part of my family heritage. Deb, thanks so much on the tips to help us know what to look for. We found the statue and the park area you talked about

[Stewie'sSlave]

England? Sweet! I'd love to go but.... sounds expensive But who knows what will happen 2 years from now

Where we going next year?

[princelover]

Linda, those are great photos. Everyone looks like they are having such a wonderful time and the falls are magnificent. Great memories.

[virgilsmama]

That was really wonderful to see those photos. Happy y'all had such a great time. Looking forward to more photos.! Thanks!

LOVE the pics!! (Linda you look beautiful as always, even 5am!)

Kris I don't know anything about the waterflow, maybe someone else does.

I am excited to see everyones pictures, it will take awhile to get mine posted.

Michelle the dogs got along great, they are buds.

[RubyJeansMom]

I love all the pictures so far.
I have some to post, but they're still on my camera and I'm so pooped I'll be heading off to bed soon.
Our trip home took a little longer than it should have, we weren't exactly sure which way to go and ended up at the border crossing to Buffalo NY. so we had to turn around and head back towards Niagara and start all over again.
But we made it home in time to get Ruby and Kessler from the kennel, instead of having to wait until tomorrow morning...Woo-hoo! Then Kwak stopped by on her way to Detroit and got the meet the whole gang.

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!

Phyrie, did you really have to post the "Tortoise in Turquoise"????? Really????? It's a good thing I love you like I do!!!

RJM, we also missed our exit to the "Red Hill Valley Parkway", but I think you and the HO might have made an errant choice at the QEW. I'm glad you are home safe and sound, with the dogs, and Kwak stopping by! Livin' La Vida Loca baby.

Elliot and I just looked at all of the pictures posted and I have "perma grin" inter alia!

Linda, I am so pleased to hear that your trip to Brantford was enjoyable and a success. Enjoy Toronto...there aren't quite as many taxes there. Who knew?!

Quite frankly, I'm not sure if I'll ever wear anything but black ever again. I'm not over that one particular photo!

It was so wonderful to see Tracy, Cyndy, and Kris on Skype. Alina, I so wish we could have seen you too darling.

You have to all know that you were with us in spirit, constantly. We mentioned everyone frequently and how much nicer it would have been if "so and so" were there.

Phyrie, I don't need a Passport to get to BC! I thought you said you were going to "delete" that photo, or was there one that was actually worse? I'm not over it.

We had a blast! It was so wonderful to see everyone. I haven't uploaded my photos yet, and I have some nerve calling them mine as Elliot took most of them.

After dinner on Saturday night, there did in fact end up being a soiree in my room. When the dust settled, and the smoke cleared, as they say, it was 5:00 a.m. when I called it a night!

I was overwhelmed this morning as we packed to go home. It was such a good "overwhelming". Who would have thought that a bunch of dog lovers, from all over North America, could gather and all mesh so well and have such a terrific time, with everyone doing what they wanted, but still being together?!

England 2013...

[4 the Dogs]

hey, hey, hey, lets not forgot 2012! Where are we meeting next year?

The GLOW of happiness is radiating though my computer. I don't want to wait 2 years!!

[RubyJeansMom]

Kris, My vote for 2012 is the Mini-Farm. I'm not sure what Kian thinks of that though...hehehe!

OMG Deb! Tortoise in Turquioise, I don't think so young lady! You do make me laugh...LOL!

Glad to hear everyone made it home safely, or is on the way to their next destination.

[Mini Anderson Cooper]

Hi Rox,
It was so great to meet you and your husband. I am so sorry that we didn't have more time to chat and get to know one another better. We just were not there long enough to accomplish what I had hoped, and then we left 3 Excellent Cameras in our room plus our Cell phone, and the only thing I can do with that thing is take photos and it works well for that. It is a beautiful Phone, but I just don't understand it yet. There must be something I need to do but I haven't had time to figure it out yet. It is way different that our last several phones.
Maybe next time we can gab and chat away!
Love, Elizabeth~

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

Kris, 2012 is still undecided! We're just putting the option out there for 2013, as that is a long way to go for most of us.

RJM, I could hear you saying that to me!!! I told you I had "traveller's bloat", but I know everyone is going to see that and say..."sure, yeah, uh huh".

Your HO has a brand new friend, and he's 15 and lives in London (along with his Mother of course). Elliot is now threatening me with tales he'll tell the HO about what I said or did every time I do something that could considered untoward. LOL!

I hope you received your goods, that were left in the room after the party. The next day, Paul and Marie were at my door, rather sharpish around the crack of noon or 1:00 to do the laundry. I was still sitting in bed, indulging in my filthy habit with a cup of coffee trying to come to terms with it all when they arrived.

Paul said he preferred that because otherwise he wouldn't have seen me in all my "Morning Glory"! I am still laughing.

Watching you put Gizzie to sleep, on his back like a wee baby was just precious. Both Oliver and Henry could smell Gizzie and Jose on my trousers as I wore the same pair for the drive. It was rather cute as they were both sniffing well below the knee.

I can't wait to hear from the "others" and how their travels went, and see their pictures.

Angie and her videos might also be dangerous.

I'm going to go to bed and call it a night and start fresh tomorrow.

[lucky&babesmom]

Roxanne I think its a wonderful idea to go to the mini farm next year .I might be able to swing that if I plan ahead far enough.

I'm glad everyone is making it home safe and sound. Can't wait for more pictures !

[princelover]

I cant wait to see everyone's pictures and hear all the tales.
Deb, you look lovely in the turquoise and everyone has such happy smiles on the faces that I doubt clothing was an issue. I love your new "do" It looks so swingy and comfortable. Just perfect.
Another reason to love dogs is that they bring the nicest people together.

[Stewie'sSlave]

yay! I'm glad everyone is back! I missed you guys lol. Did someone say they took videos?

2012? Hmmm I think I may vote for toronto! We could go to woofstock! lol
