GREAT SUGGESTIONS!!! here's waht we've got so far:
We are leaving South Florida at 5:00PM on August 17. DW is retired and will take the first leg. We have 1500 miles to our first desired spot and will travel at what is comfortable and fun pace for us. Then it is in order:Detroit, Mount Pleasant, Cheboygan, Charlevoix, Traverse City, Silver Lake, Saugatuck, Kalamazoo, then head home. DW and I are experienced travelers and waht we're looking for is FUN suggestions and time saving tips! Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Except for the upper peninsula which will difinitely be afuture trip we have used just about every suggestion.
