I think I’ve flown over Michigan, does that count? I don’t think I’m done traveling, so I won’t cross it off my list just yet!

(While I was in Wal-Mart today, I saw a boxed set of Harry Potter books...in a “trunk”...and I was SOOOO upset that they quit their lay-away...$129. I want that. )

Sorry...”flying” makes me think of HP....

Not at all! I've flown over it a lot, once over my hometown (I have photos) and even through DTW, the airport from which I departed, but you're not seeing Michigan at all unless you're on the ground.

That got brought home some years ago when my new travel regime took me to Ohio some years ago. Headed from meetings to the airport, I ended up for a stretch on a state highway (not freeway), and particulars of the neighborhoods I passed just leaped out at me, they were so different from anything West Coast and so much like what I remembered.

I'm not sure that even touring one would get the real sense of the place, or the people.

A couple years back I saw my hometown from the air; next year I intend to see it from ground level, 40 years after my family moved away.
