Place: Mackinac Island, Michigan

Date: 28th June 2008

Team: Monika, Varun, Roopesh, Shefali and Vikram.

Duration: One day.

Staying in Michigan for over two years I had never visited one of the best part of Michigan - The “Mackinac Island” - Place where no motor vehicles are allowed!

We did a one day trip to this place. Started from Troy and drove all the way for next 4 Hours.

Monika had made very nice poori and bhaji which we ate somewhere mid way in a picnic spot.

After food we reached the place. We have to buy a ferry ticket to get to the Island.

The boat ride to the Island is very beautiful. It was a perfect day, the sun was out.

First time Skiing!
posted by: admin in Michigan, Skiing on 01 20th, 2008 | | No Comments »

Where: Mount Holly, Michigan.

Temperature felt like:

-2 to -8 Deg F (around -18 to -22 Deg C)

Tips for skiing in these conditions:

  1. Dress in layers
  2. Wear a Ski Mask with glasses!
  3. Most important with the ski gloves try hand warmers

Skiing or Scuba diving? ;)

I was finally able to ski after falling a lot of times… and learning some tips from the kids around. Still need to learn how to control my speed while skiing. I almost crashed into a skate board guy who was going zig zag. I ended up screaming at him “Watch out” :D

Overall… I had a great time skiing… I have a feeling it will be my new obsession! ;)
