Clothes & stuff for the plane (books, Ipod) in the carry-on, then everything else in the checked baggage....saves decades at checkpoints and customs.Re: Crossing the Mighty Mac

Re: Crossing the Mighty Mac
For anyone interested, there is a book that was written by the engineer who designed the Mighty Mac: David B. Steinman. It's entitled Miracle Bridge at Mackinac, and was written shortly after the bridges' opening. The book is a comprehensive telling of the designing, financing, building, and opening of the bridge. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is interested in this sort of stuff. It's written in "plain English" for those who don't understand engineering-talk.
Re: Crossing the Mighty Mac
I've probably crossed that bridge close to 200 times in my life now. My whole dads side of the family is from the U.P. I love that bridge.
