tendency to pack up to the aircraft's gross limit. We found out in
mid-June that the temperatures at night get down to the 30's. She was
wearing pretty much everything in the suitcase, and we purchased a
couple of coats to wear over that.


While that's the norm, we just returned from the Island (like, yesterday),
and it was NINETY-FOUR DEGREES!

We've been there four or five times, and have ALWAYS worn a sweatshirt, even
in July. Many of the island businesses don't have air conditioning, so you
can imagine how happy *they* were about the heat wave...

;-)

But it was a great flight (IOW to Lansing, MI, to St. Ignace, to Mackinac
Island, to Ephraim, WI {Door County} to IOW) that took just 7.5 hours flight
time and covered some of the most scenic territory on earth. It was a
great way to celebrate our 20-year anniversary!
