Well according to my TripTik we cross the border into Minnesota and spend the first night in Duluth at the Holiday Inn;
then it's off to St. Ignace, Michigan where we'll stay one night at a hotel Andy and I spent some time at back in 2014, on the return trip from the King Kon in Ohio.
Unfortunately we can't dawdle there but must carry on towards Toronto.
Should be crossing the border from Detroit into Windsor, Ontario by Tuesday, so depending on what time we cross over, might spend one more night in that area and then leave early the next day for the final leg of our journey.
My sister actually lives north of T.O. in a place called Richmond Hill.
The CAA guy was quite helpful but forgot to give me the return TripTik back, so I had to go back in and mention it to him.
You'd think you could just follow the original one backwards, but it's not that easy, so he printed me up another one, basically the same route.
I figure on the return trip we can be a bit more relaxed. If we are not back by Canadian Thanksgiving (oh well) we'll just eat a nice meal at a good restaurant along the way.
I even got on the phone with my sister and she advised not to take the 407 as it's a toll road, but just go on the 404 to the 401.
I'm still getting some weird 'premonition' type feelings about this trip and I don't know why. Hopefully it's just a bit of anxiety.
My Mom, who was a big believer in ghosts, superstitions, old wive's tales and all that Scottish eery stuff, would probably tell me to cancel the trip - just had a dream where this guy tried to steal our car but when he went to drive it away it was upside down
By the way, I bought some Buckley's cold and flu medication for both day and night time, plus some Sucrets and also two bottles of cough suppressant.
It just seems like there is still so much to get done, plus I have to work the 2:30 to 10 p.m. shift tonight!
This is me counting up all the stuff still not done
I feel inspired by Britney Spears to train more. I might join a fitness or martial arts club.
I'm planning on doing some 12oz curls later......

Inspired by Sam Adams?
As long as you're inspired.......Well, I'd be at a miss if said what Britney inspires me to do, but no Sammy inspiration. More like an inspiration from Latrobe, PA.

Thought you were talking about cheeze doodles.
Eyes of the Dragon is one of my favourites - it has such a great fairy tale feel to it
Ate a few a while back and then touched my face. Was mistaken for our President for a brief time......
I was just thinking that you had probably just stuffed your entire face into the Cheetos bag, and ate your way to the bottom.......What? At least it wasn't because of my hair.......
So, today I gave one of my guitars to my cousin’s son. His dad (my cousin) and I have been close since we were kids. More like brothers than cousins. He took his son to a Green Day show for his birthday and he’s wanted a guitar since then. I gave him one of my Charvel Les Paul copies. I got it cheap on eBay and don’t really play that guitar much so I figured I’d give it to him. It’s a plus to start out with a quality instrument.
After that I went to my local record store and picked up the special blood splattered vinyl release of the Christine soundtrack. I’ll post pics later.
Then I did some car shopping. Looked at and test drove a 2017 BMW 330i X drive and a 2017 Cadillac ATS AWD. Not sure if I’m ready to give up the bit**n’ Camaro yet but both places offered a very good trade-in amount.
I’m leaning towards the BMW. Peppy twin turbo 4 cylinder. The Cadillac is a turbo 4 as well but had a definite turbo lag. The BMW handled better as well.
Caught the end of the Sox game. They finally clinched the AL East!
Finishing up the laundry now.
Dinner in a bit. Leaning towards Chinese.
Finished watching two episodes of Big Mouth on Netflix. Have mercy, puberty can be embarrassing, gross, vulgar, sad, painful, enlightening and character building. This show makes it horribly funny.
And now I am off to start Sleeping Beauties! Yay, for me. (If you don't hear from me, someone give me a wake-up call at 6 a.m. Monday, please.)
Have a wonderful Saturday. (Yay! Sleeping Beauties and a weekend to read. )
