Hope you had a good time anyway?<br /><br />Yael - I agree, not really your type of vacation, although as far as sticking out, this is Michigan, elegance is relative! I think for our next vacation meet up we should pick a nice all inclusive resort. Preferably somewhere with an extensive cocktail list.au soleil levanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11064160087622989411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057784862632486139.post-59699289538157043832010-07-07T02:27:30.318-04:002010-07-07T02:27:30.318-04:00Oooohhh La La...

I'm pretty much only useful for ordering room service in my pajamas :)uuuiiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894114687817602859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057784862632486139.post-565419784087025452010-07-06T22:28:02.224-04:002010-07-06T22:28:02.224-04:00Great posts about Mackinac.

I could definitely imagine the carriages pulling up with big steamer trunks and women with parasols!<br /><br />GYSC - glad you liked the pictures! I'm a terrible photographer, but I was really glad these turned out decently.<br /><br />Zhu - Ha! I would like to see a hotel this big anywhere in Europe!
