DAY 1: NIAGARA FALLS

Alright, I admit... Poor job on our part with updates from URT2. We definitely need to get our sh*t together and take a laptop next time.

So here's a quick recap...

In literally two minutes at the roulette table, I made $550. That's what happens when you call double-zero and 22 on back-to-back spins.

The hotel we crashed at was such a piece of crap that it didn't even have its own soap. It just stole soaps from other hotels!! Notice the shampoo bottle (far right). No label at all!!


Chilled by the falls for about an hour that next morning...

...until we tried to get back into the states. Tried was the operative word. Blake's lack of a passport or birth certificate failed to prove citizenship, earning him a federal warning from the United State border control. To prove we were simply on a roadtrip, we actually directed the officer to this website.

He asked how we "heard about this."

"Niagara Falls!?" I exclaimed, puzzled by his question.

"No, this 'ultimate road trip.'"

"Oh," Blake jumped in. "We just made it up."

"How many stripes are on the United States flag?" the officer tersely asked Blake.

"Ummmmm... 13?"

The border patrol officer conceded, and we were off on day two.
