We are changing this trip because the drive back from Memphis is too long to make in one day.
See new plan below:
Day 1 – THURSDAY, May 25th - Leave Thursday morning, and drive to Horse Cave which is just north of Bowling Green in Kentucky.
The Hotel is:
Hampton Inn Horse Cave

Phone: 1-270-786-5000
Fax: 1-270-786-5003

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 2 – FRIDAY - Get up Friday morning and head to the Corvette Assembly Plant for a tour that starts at 9:00 am. It is 1 hour long. Then head over to the Corvette Museum (a 5 minute drive). Tour the Museum until everyone is satisfied – should take no longer than 2 to 3 hours max. Then leave BG and head north to Louisville, Kentucky ( a 2-hour drive maximum). In Louisville an interesting thing to do is to visit a Bourbon Distillery or just visit the downtown which has a bunch of restaurants with a Bourbon theme – Bourbon is big in this part of the world….

Day 3 – SATURDAY – Leave Louisville Saturday morning and head north to Cleveland ( a 5-hour drive). In Cleveland we have some options: one idea is to go see the Indians play – they are playing Kansas City Royals that night, or go to the Cleveland Flats which is an area by the Lake with a bunch of cool restaurants.

4860 Brecksville Road
Richfield, OH 44286, US

the bourbon trail starts just outside of Elizabethtown,, Makers Mark is one of the best IMOP, you can become an ambassador for free!!
Be carefull on the back roads, you can spend day in dem thar hills,,
Al, I think you are referring to crossing at Sarnia when you refer to I94?? Sure, or Fort Erie. According to Google maps crossing at Fort Erie only adds 20 minutes, so the 2 routes are pretty much equal. The advantage to crossing at Fort Erie is that you can make the crossing earlier in the morning before it gets busier rather than crossing at Detroit or Sarnia where it will be closer to mid-day by the time you get there.
I am no navigator. Rick, you know the US roads tons better than me and I would defer to you....
We will firm up the time when we get closer to the date, but I would lean towards as early a time as possible to avoid the line up at the border crossing....

Trying to get my schedule to line up with this Jack, will PM you when I can confirm...
I got some news from the Museum today. Because GM has made changes to shifts at the assembly plant they are going to be closed Fridays from now on. Therefore we can't do the plant tour on May 26th.
A solution would be to head down a day early and do the tour on the Thursday May 25th. This means heading down on the Wednesday morning and moving the whole trip up a day.
