So last Christmas I bought my boyfriend tickets for one of his favorite bands. Because of covid it was postponed for a year. We are from Ohio and the tickets are for Buffalo New York because the tickets were significantly cheaper in New York than in Ohio and I thought we could make a fun trip of it and go to Niagara Falls as well, which is only 40 mins away from the venue.

Today my boyfriend told me that he wishes we were going to NYC instead, and that we should skip Niagara Falls and go to NYC. I’ve been to NYC twice and absolutely love it, it’s my favorite city and he’s never been. However it’s an almost 7 hour drive from Niagara Falls to NYC because you have to drive through the entire state of New York. It’s an 8 hour drive from where we live so it’s not that big of a difference.

Now I’m wondering if she should try to save up to do NYC and Niagara Falls. I’m really bummed that he’s not as excited about seeing the falls as I am because when I bought the tickets I thought he would want to see the falls. We will have to save up significantly more money and it’s 10 months away. Plus we are only 21 and it would be my first time driving in a very large city. Should we add NYC to the trip?
