Day 23

We woke up, showered and headed down the road for breakfast. Last night during checking they told us the place just across the way had great breakfast. We had to run from the building because of all of the mosquitos laying in wait all along the outside of our motel room. It was very nice…

Day 22

We went to sleep knowing there was little options. No food in town till at least 8, then once on the road the towns and cities are becoming fewer and further between. We left early knowing we have to stop for breakfast and could possibly be going 100+ miles to the next “big” city.  We…

Day 21

We woke up and walked back to Route 28. The one good thing about getting lost yesterday was as we came out of the wrong direction, we commented on how at least we would have been able to get breakfast even if we missed out on dinner. However, luckily we actually stayed in a motel…

Day 20

We got up early and hit the hotel breakfast as soon as it opened. It was nice to have breakfast right inside the hotel. Waffles and the mixing of all different travelers.  Later we discussed how Jerry ended up paying more attention to a older couple giving travel advice to the woman working hotel breakfast….

Day 19

We got up early knowing we had to go across the street for breakfast and with the detour we had two options, 50 miles to just over the Wisconsin border or go another 30 past that to the next town with anything in it. Breakfast was good and we headed back to the room.  As…

Day 18

We thought ahead looking at the situation we were in for dinner and also ordered some extra food for breakfast when we got dinner. It was a nice start to the day. We made coffee in the room machine, watched a little news and had our breakfast. It also gave me an extra minute to…

Day 17

Our hotel was pretty no frills. It worked well, close to our route, cheap and nice enough, but no breakfast. I really hope I don’t just sound like I’m complaining all the time. I really don’t mean to but if I’m going to talk about our day, it started with a cup of coffee and…

Day 16

We woke up early and went across the street for breakfast. When we sat down I was faced with a picture that immediately let me know today would be a better day then yesterday.  After breakfast, back to the room to finish getting ready and head on our way.  We had taken notice of a…

Day 15

We woke up and headed next door for breakfast. I actually think the ‘great pizza’ place our well informed friend recommend actually had a better breakfast then dinner. We finished getting ready and headed back to America.  A few short miles and we were at the International Bridge. This time I looked ahead to make…

Day 14

Our room was nice, a suite in fact, with a shared living room and two small bed rooms. Since the restaurant closed so soon after we arrived we took our meal to our room. In the morning we headed over for breakfast only to find our they didn’t start at 8, but 9. Guess we…
