Tuesday August 29.
Long construction delay just outside Detroit but we finally made the tunnel into Canada. When you exit the tunnel you could walk to Caesars as it is that close. The casino is large covering two floors and like all Canadian casinos is smoke free. Video poker is ok with DDB 9-6 and DB 9-6. They have a decent pick-‘em game as well.
Detroit always gets labelled as a dirty city but the view from Canada is beautiful.
That will end our trip for now but will be flying to Vegas probably in September and then Florida to spend some of the winter.
Here is a few notes from this trip:
We were on the road and living in hotels for 17 days
We were in 7 states Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
We crossed the Mississippi 7 times.
Nicest casino was a tie between Treasure Island in Minnesota and Four Winds South Bend. We were impressed as everything looked new and so clean.
Only casino we would not go back to was Idle of Capri in Boonville. I mentioned the reason when we wrote about that area.
17 days with no rain. How lucky was that.
Almost 3,000 miles (5000 km)
Cheapest gas in Hannibal Missouri at 3.32
Funniest moment happened at the Comfort Suites in South Bend I Indiana. I am in the shower at 8 am, turn on the water and now I can’t figure out how to turn on the shower. I pull on the handle, shove, twist everything I can think of but can’t figure the damn thing out. Now I am getting old but I still function reasonably well. So I get on my knees and stick my head under the tap to wash my hair then take a bath to clean. M comes in to see what the hell is going on and has a good laugh but she also can’t figure the shower out. Then I get out dry off and spot this message that was covered by the shower curtain.
WTH! Who was the genius that invented this.
Thanks everyone that followed along and left nice comments. It made doing the report enjoyable.
