We leave in just a few days and it has been hectic getting everything ready for such a big trip. The biggest (and most rewarding) chore is designing the route(s) and looking for interesting things to see and do along the way. I have spent endless hours pouring over maps and navigation software programs for the best possible and doable travel each day. J. Carolyn has worked locating interesting things along and near our routes. I know from experience this pays huge dividends once we are underway since we don't have to worry about our route, hotel or what we plan for each day.
In doing this we've found and incorporated many new and hopefully interesting stops especially in the UP of Michigan that we either did not know about or did not have time for when we were last up there. And of course we will revisit some favorites along the way.
What we've done so far:
Routes created - check
Hotel reservations (and some deposits) made - check
Ferry reservations made & prepaid - check
Research POIs to verify they will be open as some are not open all 7 days - check
Online tickets booked for some of the most popular attractions - check (hate to miss out on something)
Passports up to date - check
Medical travel insurance procured - check
Detailed packing list created and test packing made - check
Motorcycle serviced and critical items inspected/adjusted - check
So for now we just relax and wait. Easier said than done, lol.
