After all the hullabaloo last night, we slept in this morning. Also, the last part of our trip home is not too long any more so we had some extra time. We packed up our stuff and checked out of our hotel. We decided to have a nice breakfast before hitting the road so we made a short hop over to Bob Evans. Since this was our last day on the road, I decided to have their large breakfast something like "steak and farm-fresh eggs omelette with toast and hash browns, etc.". Well... it was very nice but I had a hard time finishing it. It must have been about 3000 calories but what the hay...:-) I didn't have to eat for the rest of the day after that one.
We got onto Interstate 96 right away and motored on to Port Huron. The weather was just great, sunny and war
m. When we travelled I96 previously, we noticed a large number of dead deer along the interstate. This time, thankfully, we only saw one dead one. It must be in the spring and fall that the deer come out and play on the highway I suppose. We did our usual duty-free shopping before getting onto the Bluewater Bridge to Canada. The traffic going in and out of Canada was pretty busy. We stopped about halfway on the bridge and then just crept along for 45 minutes before finally reaching the Canada Customs booth. Then in about 30 seconds we were on our way. What a waste of time, but that's the way it is sometimes.

We decided to make a small detour through Dashwood to visit the Arc Angel thrift shop where Annie's sister Jannie works. We had a nice visit with her and were caught up on th
e latest happenings in the family before setting off again for Acton. We arrived in good time around 3:30pm and were pleasantly surprised that the reconstruction of our road had been completed in our absence. In fact, when we talked to the neighbours, the final paving had been done the morning of the day we arrived. Talk about good planning, we missed all the dust and inconvenience of the road reconstruction and paving of our subdivision roads.

We have great memories and pictures of our Alaska trip and are glad we did the long haul. The total distance travelled came to around 18,000 km or 11185 miles. Thank you all for following our road trip adventures and we wish you all God's blessings.
