Trip To Ann Arbor

We flew to Ann Arbor, Michigan this weekend for Shannan and John's wedding. It's our last "vacation" before our wedding, so it's nice for it to be for this occasion. Our PriceLine.com tickets turned out fine. The first leg Austin-St. Louis, said on the ticket that it was a TWA flight (operated by AA). Huh?!? When was the last time one has heard anything about TWA? It turned out to be a regular AA flight, on an AA plane, with AA flight attendants. The only TWA thing that we noticed was the safety instruction card - it said "TWA an American Airlines Company". Whatever.

We got into Detroit around 7:30 but had to kill time because we were giving Archie and Jessica a ride to Ann Arbor. When we asked the rental car people for suggestions on what to do, we were recommended a "very excellent Denny's" right by the airport. Instead, we went to the mall to buy wrapping paper and along the way we noticed a bowling alley. So Jfer also bought some socks and we played three games (I scored 129 in my first game and went downhill from there).

Things I learned: If you go south from Detroit, you cross into Canada. Also, watch the change they give you in Michigan - someone I ended up with a Canadian quarter (I used it later to tip someone).
