Day five:
we woke up and packed everything up and headed out. my wife wanted to do some shopping downtown so we walked around with her. the shops were cool. we did not spend nearly enough time in Mackinaw city. next time.
once shopping was done we mailed out some postcards to family back home and headed on our way. the plan was to head south along the coast of lake huron and eventually get to Bay City MI.
on previous trips with my wife we had some sort of helmet talking devices and they worked well. but we always borrowed them. this time we were unable to get some before we left. so i stopped into the harley dealer in Bay city to buy some. buying something so expensive without shopping around is something i don't do. but I could tell that my wife was getting bored not being able to talk to me without screaming. so i was going to buy them. the only thing that save me from buying on impulse was that the dealer only had one head set. that did nothing for us.
we were out of luck with the talking devices but in luck with good hospitality and a place to relax. the Bay City harley shop had a couple of couches, coffee, water, and popcorn that we enjoyed for free.
after resting we all decided not to go any further for the day. the plan was to find a nice cheap hotel/motel and get a good night sleep so we could make it to niagara falls the next day with enough time to do some things.
the hotel was nice and my wife and i enjoyed the pool area and met some people from minnesota and talked. found out we live within an hour of each other.
