A bit of an update. We are staying at Hotel X (DH's choice, not mine, as it is more than twice the cost of where I wanted to stay), my Verizon plan covers data in Canada and we are driving up over Lake Michigan from the Green Bay area, over the Straits of Mackinac and down the middle of MI and crossing at Sarnia on the way there and through Chicago on the way home, because our previously mentioned family obligation is in Kenosha.
I am feeling totally unprepared for this trip. I am unsure if we can use American dollars anywhere and I don't want to offend anyone by trying to use them, especially as tips for the hotel. *sigh* I don't know where we'll run into tolls and if they are all-electronic of if we can use cash. I don't know if our hotel is within walking distance to the concert and whether it is safe enough to walk back after the concert in the dark. DH is a 'it will work itself out' type of traveler ~ I am not.
Trips shouldn't be this nerve-wracking.
