April 6, 2009, First Day in Canada

We left Michigan, April 6 around 3:30pm. Our directions gave us an estimated driving time of 6.5 hours. We didn't realize getting through customs and other things would take so long. We entered into Canada via this bridge:How do you think Tara handled that? Well, I have blogged about her fear of bridges before. Well, not much has changed. All of us were in awe over the scene around us and then Terry turned around and found Tara crying in the back seat. It was a really scary experience for her but she was proud and relieved once we were over it.
We arrived at the hotel around 11:30pm. Customs wasn't the only culprit, we had to stop for potty breaks, eating, and fuel. We also didn't consider the foreign speed limits. This was their posted speed limit for the first several miles of highway driving.
It was a relief when we finally arrived, even though we went straight to bed.
