Missed your travel blogs so much
So great to have your travel blogs again Glorsy........and you have started back with a bang!!! So lovely of Tim & Deb to reduce your coach time and pick you guys up after missing the connection. And just fantastic for you to catch up with Suzy and Blake. Maybe it has taken a little while to get over the jet lag as it has been so long for you both to get back into flying, when you were doing it so so often. I am sure you are sorted now :) Loved your photos and never heard of MackKinac Island.....it sounds amazing!! Keep enjoying and I look forward to your next blog. Love Rhonda xxxxx Oh....and PS I would hate to be working at Qantas Money Card

Hi Ron and Grazey
Yes it's been an amazing time in Michigan ...not a state we would probably have gone to only for Tim and Deb, it's such a pretty place. Still haven't sorted about Q card for UK and Europe...lucky we have plenty on our credit cards! We are so lucky to have seen so much and also a few days living like a local in Novi at Tim and Deb's, they have lovely friends and family! Xx
