We arrived at our hotel near Eire on the shores of Lake Eire about 7:30pm. There was an amazing sunset underway so the wife jumped out of the car to take photos, I parked and did the same. It was only afterwards we got our bags and checked-in. The following photos were taken by the wife on her iPhone and she has applied a filter (which I hate her doing). But it was spectacular none the less.
Didn't think breakfast could be worse than our dinner but was wrong. The only breakfast available had to be ordered like a takeaway at the coffee bar. Took forever to order, forever to get it and was on the whole disappointing. To make it worse I hadn't realized there was a Sheraton next door where I was a smidgen away from being a Lifetime Platinum and generally got treated like royalty even if I was being obnoxious.

So the plan on day 4 was to drive along the lake front on minor road number 5 as far as we could before joining the larger roads and interstates and heading to Buffalo then Niagara Falls. There is a bit of wine grape and fruit growing here so we stopped at one of the farm shops to buy some local produce. It was an honour system. Select, weigh, pack, price and pay for it yourself.
Nice sunset and flower pics, cheers.
I've lived and travelled more on the Eastern coast, never been to those parts.
I've had the good fortune to work and live in the US twice. The first was two years based in Denver in the mid-90s managing an airports technology business for the whole of the Americas. The second was the more recent 16 months in Phoenix. In both cases I was able to travel for business and leisure extensively. Not getting much feedback on this thread yet but will press on an complete it and then reassess any more. Tough audience to impress at times. Regards, -BiP
PS! Just remembered it was three times. Did a ten week consultancy for an airline in Dallas in late 2012 and at the end decided to drive from Dallas to LA via Albuquerque. Driving like that is one of my passions and is shared by my Thai wife as well. But those days are now over.
