The local TV channels were advising of an impending snowstorm and we definitely wanted to get ahead of any snow! With the crack of dawn we were up and on the road by 6:22 am. Homeward Bound today and the highway traffic is light! Trying to avoid interstates, we took Hwy 11 North and found this was similar to Hwy 27 through Georgia; double lanes and light traffic!
By 8:50 am we were reaching for the sunglasses as we left the clouds, and the potential storm, behind us. We picked up I-90 below Lake Erie close to the New York state border and kept our eyes peeled for that state’s welcome centre. To our dismay, the nearest welcome centre was in Buffalo! By the time we arrived there, we just wanted to cross the border to Canada. Our first attempt to cross the border at the Whirlpool Bridge, we encountered a “Closed for Construction” and a detour to the Rainbow Bridge. That border crossing was a breeze with a special area for RVs & buses. Best border crossing ever!!!
Canada! There’s no place like home! First stop, Tim Horton’s! Now fueled up with our Timmie’s fix, we’re off to our final stop for the night at the Best Western Plus in Welland, Ontario. Here we crashed on the couch of the hotel room of our good friend, Daphne (aka Ducky). We enjoyed all the comforts of home with a tub for Jo, internet for Steve and free, hot breakfast in the morning!
