Six States

My traveling husband covered six states yesterday - Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska.

Michael stayed in the great little town of Syracuse, Nebraska in a great little motel. This morning, when he was getting fuel at the nearby gas station, he saw a group of older men with suitcases. Being the inquisitive man that he is, Michael asked them if they were all homeless and needed a place to stay. They told him that they were on their way to MACKINAC (they pronounced it MACK-IN-ACK) ISLAND!

Of all places in the country, Michael found a group of travelers from a tiny town in Nebraska, going to northern Michigan for vacation. He told them to buy lots of fudge!

Michael just called a few minutes ago, with a little dilemma. The nice little motel that he stayed in Rawlins, Wyoming last year (where he was stranded for a week) was booked to capacity, along with every other motel for sixty miles! He had to keep driving for another two hours, hoping that the next town had rooms available. Since there is no cell phone service in Wyoming, I have to wait until tomorrow to find out how far he had to drive to get a place to stay. Lets hope he is not homeless tonight!

The saga continues tomorrow! Night!
