Gene and I were in Buffalo exploring the area and Niagara Falls in October 2021. While in the area, we were happy to be able to do a short beautiful drive about 35 miles southeast of Buffalo and visit Letchworth State Park. Neither of us had heard about this place, but our Airbnb host Joanne told us about it and I can’t thank her enough. It is something we are so glad we were able to visit.

I couldn’t believe the amazing views around every turn. The best part was that the tickets were a gift from a customer at my former company. That just made it even sweeter.
Since becoming members of the Hyatt Rewards Program we have stayed at many including two of my favorites the 
There is no easy way to talk about the September 11 National Memorial and not have it bring up memories of the fateful day no matter where you lived in the U.S. While visiting New Jersey and New York in October 2015, we spoke with many people about where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news about the attacks.
