Outside of Niagara Falls State Park, what's to do in Buffalo? Am I going to have a good time? Is there like, so much to do that we may as well bag one of the days at the festival?

It's been [checks watch] 23 years since I've lived in Buffalo, so I'm not much help. If you are going to Niagara Falls, definitely hit the Canadian side (if they are letting us in the country again), US side is bullshit. I've heard they've done a tremendous job restoring downtown Buffalo. Even in my 4 years, they did a lot to start turning it around.

We are already having to change plans and drop Budapest since we cannot fly in without quarantining. As it stands right now flying into Vienna; train to Slovenia then rent a car for Slovenia, Bosnia & Croatia. Flying from Split to London for a few days before coming home.

Looking for opinions...would you guys postpone the trip or try and power through? As of right now we have to get tested before going to London (I heard we have to get tested right before or when we get back into the U.S. but I haven't verified that yet) but I think that is it.

Absolutely nothing to make you think anything unusual going on. Meanwhile Nassau Co. took the top spot in USA. Good fun though.

Most ceilings caved in most floors destroyed and mold everywhere because I closed up tight. Insane damage. Kids start school this week. Wife spending cash for a hotel suite and no chance we get value back for our stuff. Fuck me. Insurance hell awaits.

Being on a deck, in some WV mountains, picking up second hand pot smoke from my aunt who I haven’t seen since thanksgiving 2019 is cool, too.
