I like the plan Dan. All very nice places to visit, and going to Munising from Auburn hills is fine with me. I get the impression from web searches that hotels could be booked near capacity and one I looked at in Munising is already full for the date we need Aug. 18th. I would be more comfortable if we can agree on a hotel for that first night, otherwise we may be forced to break up just to get a nights lodging. It all works for me; AAA discount was only $5.00 at one of the hotels, so I don't think that is an issue, but prices will be higher if we just drive up looking for a nights stay, and with the Pictured Rocks cruise @ 5:00 or 7:00 I think it would be best if we are not searching on the road for a place to stay. There is a Super8 in Wetmore for $89 per night with the senior (age 60) discount; others near the beach are nicer. If we want to stay as a group lets choose a hotel for that first night.
