    Brings back nostalgic memories. ❤ I live in Toronto and my father grew up in Chicago. As a kid this was always the big family vacation every summer: getting up at 4 AM, leaving when it was still dark out, sunrise around London, breakfast at the old service centres on the 401. You even stopped across from the old "Wolverine" 76 truck stop (now the TA in Ann Arbor). The only differences were the 401 hadn't been extended at the time and ended at exit 13 (highway 3). That and once we crossed the bridge we took I96 to the I94 exit. Plus we took I94 to I294 and took the Tri-State Tollway to 95th street, then up to Burbank where my grandparents lived. I miss those trips! Of course this was before 9/11 so we didn't need passports, my parents citizenship cards and my brother and my birth certificates we sufficient to cross the border. I'll have to get a passport and take this trip again sometime. Definitely something on my bucket list. Thanks for letting me ride along! 😁👍

    I'm glad you used the Indiana Toll Road and Chicago Skyway to skip the free congestion of the Borman and Kingery Expwys (I-80/I-94/US 6) and Ford Fwy (I-94 in southern Cook County).

    I-94 between Detroit and Chicago is the busiest continuous roadway in the world; nevertheless, as a trucker I enjoy driving the legendary stretch: it is a trucker's paradise, containing a plethora of unique truck stops and road parks along the way.

    I absolutely love your videos. They are the best to put on in the background while I'm working. I would love to see you drive Ontario Highway 11 someday, from Barrie to Rainy River, or even just to Nipigon. I've heard it's a "boring" drive, but I would love to see it! Anyhow, clear skies and safe driving on your journies to come!

      Glad you like the videos! And yea I'd like to drive Highway 11 and see what it's like one time, even though it may be a bit boring. Thanks for the comment and support.

    You know, the alternate way to cross the US border is to take the 402 and enter I-94 in Port Huron and continue I-94 to Chicago. Also, the construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge is ongoing as it'll connect the 401 with I-75 to help decongest traffic.

    • @travelxoverland
      @travelxoverland  Год назад +2

      Yea I've taken that route before but I always try to avoid it now because the stretch from Port Huron to Flint has some really rough roads, even by Michigan standards

    I've made the drive to Chicago from Toronto once on a whim because me and my oldest brother had a rental car and we decided to put on some miles before we returned it. To be honest, I don't think we understood the concept of how charge by kilometres back then, I don't know if it was or flat rate to be honest, but the drive was quite gruelling as I remembered it. It was a straight shot but what made it challenging was I just got off work and did the whole drive there and had 1 scary moment when I dozed off and we almost went off the road had it not been for those rumble strips. This was in my 20s so I don't think it's possible at my age now. This was before crossboarder travel required a password so to give you context on when it was.,
    I kind of want to do another road trip similar circumstances because I have a lease vehicle going back to the dealer so this is a one last hooray.

    Thanks for posting this! The tolls that you paid towards the end there ($3.50, $6.60), were that in USD or CAD?

    Out of curiosity why did you take I96 rather then I94 toward to Chicago when you got into Detroit? is it a GPS thing?

    • @travelxoverland
      @travelxoverland  4 месяца назад

      Yea must've been a GPS thing, and maybe the I94 had more traffic at that time or something

    So sad to see the abandoned town of Gary Indiana.

    • @thebabbler8867
      @thebabbler8867 9 месяцев назад +1

      It's not abandoned; there are still alot of people there. The city was mostly bulldozed back in the 60s, so it has an apocalyptic feel due to the fact it is not as urban as it once was.
