Your missus is right: do Niagara Falls from Toronto, not from NYC.

Have a look at a map. Niagara is only about an hour and a half's drive from downtown Toronto, but it's nearly seven hours' drive from NYC.

You can visit Niagara Falls from both sides not just the Canadian side.

What I’m reading here is you are asking how best to optimise your trip right? But you only provided very limited information.

Can’t be u just going there for a couple of days only right?

Is it just NY and Niagara Falls?

Initially was stay in NY for 10 days, then go toronto, now she say want go Toronto 1st then NY, say if we at NY go outlet mall, buy all the stuffs carried to toronto, luggage bery heavy.

Therefore still deciding if shld go Toronto 1st or NY 1st??

flying back from NY?

If that's the case would prefer being at the same place as where will be flying back from to avoid any unnecessary travel delays

Interestingly. I booked a car rental in Feb 2025. And when I revisited today, the price is over 200usd cheaper.

luckily my first booking was under flexi rate, free cancellation.

in case u are wondering, 1) exchange rate dropped from 1.33 to 1.30… 2) I even added extensive assistance. 3) the flex rate option only amounted to an extra US$3 for the whole booking. 4) I rebook with same dates, same locations, same details and addons

Eh not sure how to tell you whether you should or should not?

You need to at least say what might interest you to decide whether you should or should not?

not asking you what specifically might interest you but rather thematically what might interest you. I.e., scenery, mountains, etc.

if you not sure about this then how will you know and be sure?

Hahha cause me gian png, is a free trip so i tot might as well bring my wife and extend it since normally i wont travel to the states for leisure.

We like scenery but also like shopping, we quite enjoy our time in NYC and Toronto and visiting the Niagara falls previously.

Is roadtrip advisable? From Seattle to Portland fly to lake tahoe then back to Seattle or shld end at sfo

ok nothing wrong with that. but still doesn't address the crux of the issue?

scenery tbh yosemite... but west coast is very long and you based in seattle. so depends whether you willing to travel the distance or you only plan to limit to a certain place in west coast
Is roadtrip advisable?
if you have time and want to slowly travel why not?

do you have constraints as to whether you have to fly in and out from the same place since for your own journey it will be covered by company i supposed? because that will likely answer the qns you are asking

Oh wow - yeah, absolutely extend the trip! If you like the scenery, you'll love the drive from Portland to SF. What time of year are you thinking of visiting?
