Enjoy reading about our recent trip to Niagara Falls, Canada. We have included some great travel hints and tips as well! Brought to you by Navigate Vacations, a partner of Avoya Travel. First of all, if you have a choice between visiting the American side or the Canadian side, you should most definately choose the Canadian side. Adults must have passports, and if you have children under the age of 18, be sure you Google the requirements ahead of time for acceptable ID used to cross the border.

This blog will contain travel tips as well, that are brought to you by Navigate Vacations, an Avoya Travel partner. There are some security-related warnings, so please pay close attention to them, so that you can enjoy a wonderfully relaxing vacation while staying safe. We arrived at Cancun International Airport on a Friday morning, and got through customs relatively easily. One thing to note, if you are not a Mexican Citizen, they will open all of your luggage and they will "paw" through it. Be sure that you research the list of banned items before you go, because these laws are always changing. Once you get through customs, you will pass through a wide corridor area with vendors that are trying to sell excursions, experiences, and other vacation related things. Many people c
