Nice.. Just got back Sunday from doing a gig in Novi, MI. Actually stayed at the Sheraton they showed in their promo vid. Nice place! If I had any clue there were so many nice fish stores around there, I would have managed my down time better.. ha!

As soul-sucking as they often are, corporate events usually have a band or some kind of entertainment 
Saw Hootie and the Blowfish a few years ago (and Bruno Mars last year) that way...
It's about an 8.5 hour drive.

Oh wait, did actually type that on here. LOL
We always make these a vacation. We are leaving Saturday or Sunday.
Driving past Detroit up to the upper part of Michigan and site seeing first.
Or at least that's the plan so far.

Cool
Michigan is a large state. We are going up near Mackinac island first for a couple days.
So we have over a 12 hour drive up, then back down to Detroit later in the week.

In all seriousness, I'm sure it's lovely in the summertime. You should swing by Flint and meet up with some of the local hobbyists there. I hear their fish are terrified of water changes.
I envy your conference travel track record. I'm just lucky that I'm a few hours away from the BFD. Great speakers, well organized, and some great hobbyists!

Yeah, I am lucky. While the wife is not into fish, she does put up with them.
And most of the time the ACA is in a different part of the country so we make a week or so out of it. We explore the area if we have never been there.
Last year we had been to Cincy before so we explored areas on the way.
This time we will go up to the lakes and explore some.
I have hit 41 so far and she has been to 39 of them.
SO FAR. LOL
As far away as Sacramento CA and as close as Lancaster PA.
Yes I am closer to Lancaster than I am to the BFD.
