It's getting closer....

Tomorrow is Bill's and my 25th anniversary, and this trip is a belated celebration for us.  We frequently plan our travels for the day after Labor Day so crowds are fewer and the weather is cooler (did I say that already?).  Today I made one more step toward our trip and purchased out tickets on the Mackinac Island Ferry Company (formerly the Star Line).  There are two companies providing ferry service to the island and we chose this one due to it's free overnight parking which I have read is as safe as parking in your driveway.  Tickets online are discounted by $3 each, but then they add an online fee to the purchase so we saved a big $4 total by purchasing online.  Hey - every $4 counts, right?  We can put that toward some fudge on the island!  So today I'm reading blogs, checking reviews to make sure nothing we have booked has gone downhill since, and double checking to be sure no price drops happened on any of our reservations.  Fun stuff for this planning crazy person!
