Late morning here and I slept in ! Wow what the heck 6:30 this morning guess my body did not want us to leave. But got my oatmeal, eaten, coffees consumed, some computing done and only a 1/2 mile walkabout. We secured the coach, unhooked from power and were on the road as planned at 8 AM. First stop the Flying J, 30 minutes north to top up our propane and continued up I-75 north bound. Stopped at a few rest areas to stretch and carried on. Not much traffic today.

| a nice sunrise on our site |
 |
| lovely pond reflections |
 |
| heading north on I-75 |
Crossed into Michigan and the usual bad road, the first sign I saw was
Pot hole hot line and a phone number ! That about says it all, A few construction zones but good travelling , whipped on by Detroit , and 96 to 94 to Port Huron Michigan. Once past Detroit 94 was a good drive, making good time.
 |
| I-94 a very nice quiet drive |
We stopped at the last rest area in Michigan here about 11:30 made lunch, and carried on another 20 Miles to Fuel up in Marysville Michigan, just 20 miles before be cross the border at Port huron . The Blue water Bridge into Canada. The only slow down we had today was the line up to pay the toll for the the bridge.

| crossing the bridge to Canada |

| no lineup at customs |
A couple of quick questions and we were back into Canada another easy border crossing.

ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to begin seeingbthe family again. Ans settle into cold springtime weather here in Ontario.
DeleteBefore you crossed the border back to Canada did you not have to stop to turn in your six month permit to be in the USA?
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back home among family and friends. Got a kick out of your new countdown clock for when you return :)
We don't turn in a permit like in Mexico our days in the states are tracked through our passports. We still actually have 7 days left that we can use. before the fall.
DeleteNice to see everyone again here and lots more to see over the summer. The count is on when we can head south again. to the south that we love.
Thanks for the reply George, I had no idea they had separate requirements for Canadian citizens.
DeleteNo problem Ms. B the laws change all the time and we like to keep on top of them.
