After a weeks stay in Boston in July 2011, we are planning a 5 day trip to Niagara Falls. We have two areas of querry:

Being af group of 7 adults (5 tweens and 2 50+ parents), should we rent a Motorhome or a Minivan+Hotel?

Having read the postings and likns on the RTA page, we plan to take the US90 to Springfield and then head north to join the Mohawk Trail and stay in the Graylock Mountain area. Next day we could do the Finger lakes and stay there, before going to Niagara Falls on the 3rd day. Should we stay on the US or the Canadian side of the Falls? Going back, is it worth while to take the road along Lake Ontario to Rochester? What will be the driving time from Waterloo to Niagara Falls?

Looking foreward to comments and suggestions to alternative routes as well.
