Highway Closed

We were planning to cross the border at Sarnia instead of Windsor because we got lost crossing over at Windsor last year and the border crossing was very busy at Windsor.

Barb drives the first leg of our trip because she likes to drive when the road in empty and I like to sleep for the first few hours.  She was worried that she would miss the exit from the 401 to the 402 which goes to Sarnia.

I woke up to help her when she came to exit and we took Highway 402.  We hadn't gone very far when we found the highway was closed.  There was no detour.  It was just closed for some unknown reason.  So we took the exit and turned around and went back to the 401.

There was no exit from the 402 to the 401.  So when we got on the 401 we had to get off at the first exit and turn around and get back on going the other way.

When we drove to Windsor I thought that the 401 went straight to the bridge for the USA.  So we took the 401 past the sign that said bridge to the USA.  We went a little farther then the highway closed.  We had to turn around and get back on the highway and then find the exit for the bridge to the USA.  The exit for the bridge took us right through what seemed like downtown Windsor but I seemed to remember it from last year.

We got to the border and there were hardly any cars.  So we didn't have to wait long.  The border guard asked Barb if she was bringing any alcohol over the border and Barb said no she didn't drink.  The guard said then how can you live with that guy.  Funny fellow.

We crossed the border and got on Interstate 71 South this time not Interstate 71 North like last year and we were on our way to Florida.
