When I finished the KENTUCKY BIRTHDAY VISIT, I rode up to Cincinnati with Vic and Jana and at 4:00 p.m. started my travel odyssey toward Berrien Springs. The schedule was bad enough - three flights, two layovers of about two hours apiece, and arrival in South Bend at 11:35 p.m., then a ride of 20 minutes into the next time zone and to bed a little after :00 a.m.
However, the reality was MUCH worse….and except to say that I will fly through O’Hare (or via United Airlines) only at the point of a gun in the future, I’ll leave the story alone. It’s enough that I got to the Village Motel around 4:00 and to bed after that!

I slept five hours, and fortunately was early for the meetings because of my desire to coordinate with Vic and Jana on the car. So, Thursday was completely free, and the first real appointment was Friday afternoon. This motel is considerably better than most we stayed in when touring South America….but that isn’t saying a great deal. If you look closely, it’s a little grim…..but it does have the distinct advantage of being directly across the street from the University entrance, and about 100 yards from the University-owned and operated Market.
And really, it’s not so terrible to look at - a little seedy, and the worse for wear maybe….
