    Loved every minute , especially the Michigan part. As an old Michigan boy ( moving back in the spring) I got a kick out of the Mackinac portion . That bridge is famous for a lot of things and is a trip I have done several times. Looking forward to the daily videos.

    • @MidLifeStyleTwins
      @MidLifeStyleTwins  8 месяцев назад

      Michigan is beautiful. Love Mackinac Island...my favorite. Was thrilled to get to cross that bridge and ride the upper Peninsula even though it was freezing cold. Worth every second.

    Great video! Was that the first time you led Gina on a trip? Did you feel a little more responsibility for the one you were leading down the road? I know I do when I lead a group on one of our adventures. By the way, that was the bridge we rode over when we did our Tail of the Dragon trip video. But I never saw it at night like this. Awesome!

    • @MidLifeStyleTwins
      @MidLifeStyleTwins  6 месяцев назад

    • @MidLifeStyleTwins
      @MidLifeStyleTwins  7 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, it was spectacular! I love trips by myself so I can do my own thing, but on a trip this long and this distance, I appreciate sharing it with someone. I did a video where I went from SC to Indiana by myself. It was fun getting to do it by myself. Thanks again for watching and commenting.

    Great video....would love to know how you search for hotels ? Your plans seem to be fluid, I generally pre plan all of my stops.

    • @MidLifeStyleTwins
      @MidLifeStyleTwins  7 месяцев назад

      I plan my route and the destinations/stops I want to include on my trip then look for Comfort Inn in that area. I had the route and destinations all planned with reservations for the first week. I had hotel plans for the second week but no reservations, that way if I wanted to make changes I could. I am definitely a planner, but I have learned to also be flexible when on a trip on a motorcycle.
