Slow going!

So we finally got away from home this morning about 10 – all those last minute things that seem to always take more time than you expect😉. All was good until we got to the Bluewater Bridge in Sarnia/Port Huron. We knew the bridge was under construction and it showed a 45 minute delay for passenger vehicles. However, diesel fuel has been showing at $3.27/gal. for the last couple days at a station we’ve been at before and knew we could get in to. So considering we would be getting somewhere around 80 gallons it looked like a $64 saving from anything we were going to get crossing at Detroit. We made the call to take the longer wait. Bad move – more like a 90 min wait and really not sure what the issue was – most of the wait was after we were over the bridge and in sight of the border patrol. Then when we did get to our fueling station the price was $4.19! By then we were both hungry and tired. So we made a grocery stop instead and are now heading (we hope) to a private home for the night. If it works out we should arrive around 7:30. Waiting on a response to our request. Tomorrow we’ll carry on but have to drive through Chicago- hope we can get good timing with it!
