I know it’s difficult,
but don’t over pack. Most
hotels/motels have washers. The more you
take – the more you have to drag in and out of the car.
It was
really fun not to have too many specific things planned. Some of the best things we did were spur of
the moment like Copper Harbor. It was
like going back in time – no cell service and one gas station that closed for 5 days on Saturday at 3PM. We ate dinner at a little restaurant looking
out onto Lake Superior. We watched a bald
eagle who was also fishing for his dinner.
We were in a different dimension.
The weeks at
the MARC and MAFCA meets were fun but pretty typical. The weeks before and after to me were the
most fun. You never knew what was going
to happen next. As Tom says, “You have
to go with the flow”.
We stayed at
a bed and breakfast that was like going home again. Not sure they are all that way, since this
was our first, but it was a real treat and we will likely do it again. Louie and Kathy, our hosts, treated us like
members of the family.
Another bit
of wisdom, only one electronic device at a time for directions and only if
absolutely necessary. They will not
always agree and may cause conflict in an otherwise happy day. Getting lost is
always another opportunity for adventure. Paper maps work great!
The Model
A’s were automatic celebrities wherever we went. People would come up to talk to us and we
met a lot of great people this way. None
of that would have happened if we had been traveling in modern cars. You hardly
ever see other people when you travel on the Interstate, just their cars as
they zoom by, or as you zoom by them. We all know The A’s make everyone smile. We got many smiles per mile on this trip.
