snmhanson - Yes, we're flying out of Pellston! It's 15 mins from our house, free parking, while Traverse City is a 1 1/2 hr drive and in late January not my favorite drive because of the snow and weather. Where were you in northern Michigan? We're in Petoskey on Crooked Lake. I see you're from the Pacific NW. I spent all my summers as a kid in Oregon :-)
I grew up in Grand Rapids but vacationed and skied up north. Also went to school in Traverse City for a year. I’ve been in the Pacific NW for about 25 years now and live about an hour east of Portland. Great place out here but certainly things I miss about Michigan - especially as I get older and have kids of my own. And a bit more of a hustle to get to the islands from here.
