  • We toured #MackinacIsland discovered what a pasty is and learned a lot of history. What an amazing place to visit. It is truly one of the most unique places in the United States. Yes, the fudge is absolutely incredible we had to buy it twice. So you must add this place to your list to visit and spend a week exploring.

    OK, here is the thing….here is the thing….(t-shirt worthy!)…Great job Shiela picking up the camera and filming Todd as he was driving. I truly enjoyed this video and I have to admit, I was really hoping we were going to see Todd’s reaction to driving over the bridge. I think that is part of the secret sauce of your success, Todd is extremely funny when he is nervous. I know I should not find humor in that, but it is so funny and one of the main reasons I got hooked on your videos….you two make me laugh. Another favorite phrase is when Todd says, “Shiela, that’s not funny” because usually when he says that, something funny follows! Thanks for another entertaining video!

    Thanks for sharing this one. I've heard a lot about Mackinac Island, but it sounded like a huge tourist trap. FUDGE is usually an indicator. If Sheila recommends it, maybe not too touristy! MI is becoming a possible destination for this westerner. No motorized vehicles does sound appealing. Good luck on the bridge!

      @@SwitchItUpLife very safe. Evacuated in advance of the storm in our North point 377. Will stay evacuated until conditions there improve, we estimate another 2-3 weeks. We're in a close suburb of Nola, so thankfully not in the flooded areas. Mostly roof damage and wind driven water issues for us. Have good home insurance so it's just a "thing" to deal with down the road of recovery. The primary issue for us is the lack of basic services like electric and water. Very thankful for our RV .. a life raft amongst this chaos.
