Mackinac Island to our various homes

We left the penthouse at 7:20 am and went to wait for the ferry.

We got the 8 am ferry with plenty of time to spare.  Debbie drove us back to the Traverse City airport.  It took about 2 hours.  We went the faster route.  We turned in the car and then went to try to help Sue check-in.  She did at least get boarding passes for both flights.  We decided to sit and have lunch at the only cafe at the airport. Debbie and I each had a small bottle of pinot grigio with our meals, then we went down to the gate.  They only have 6 gates.  They were able to finally assign a seat for Sue put us all together.  It was not a full flight. No service on the flight, since it was so short.

We got to Detroit on time.  Sue had a long wait for her flight.  Debbie and I had to hot-tail it to our gate.  We went from C 8 to A 54. Not too bad.  Our flight was delayed so we really had not needed to rush.  I went to Seattle as well so that I could be with Debbie for the long flight.

The train system in Detroit is cool.

Seattle - each pillar is decorated differently

We arrived in Seattle only a little late.  Debbie headed off to get her car and then she had a several-hour drive home.  We heard from Sue that she arrive in Knoxville and then that she had arrived home, safely.

My flight to Portland was delayed 1/2 hour.  I got back to the Portland airport at 8:30 pm.  George and Rebecca met me.  I was home safe and sound by 9:15 pm.  Debbie had gotten to her home a little before me.
