This park is famous for its sand dunes and the beach near the Great Lakes region. The view of horizon from the top of the Sand dunes is indeed a splendid one. The barbeque experience at this park is one of my favorites. I used to go almost daily to spent evenings at this park. Only in summer we can go there since winter here is very cold in the range of -15 centigrade or below.
The tunnel towards the beach from the park side is an attraction here. Children enjoy the journey thru this tunnel. The sand dunes can give your body a real workout along with fun.

John Ball Zoo, Grand Rapids, Michigan
John ball zoo at grand rapids is located conviniently near the national highway. Park have enough space for car parking and there is a recreational boating facility available near the entrance and it may be of interest to kids. Apart from the usual scenes like in other zoos, there is a section showcasing domestic animals like cows, hen, goats, and sheep. You could try a ropeway ride to add some adventure to the trip at an extra price. You can enter a small aviary and feed love birds, enjoy the water bodies within the zoo. There is a separate section for polar animals. You could go for a camel ride too. There is a separate section dedicated to African wild life and its awesome.

At Troy , Michigan , US
Troy is in the northen part of US. Its a small area near Detroit, Michigan. This is the place where all the big names in Automobile industry like Ford , Chrysler etc are located. You can see very huge roads and one thing you can notice is the width of the roads, its very large than the usual american city roads.
The bad thing about this place is there is no public transport system. The locals say its because of the Automobile lobby that they dont allow the city to come up with a public transport system , so that people will stick to buying a four wheeler. The area is lying near to Canada border and you can go near the Canada border and have a panoramic view of some parts of Canada.
There is Indian population here too, but less compared to other US cities. The place is calm and cool. Winter can be extremely cold and terrible. Its May 2008 and US economy is in bad shape , moreover the city of detroit is facing a downturn in there economic might since automobile industry is facing economic challenges. This is partially due to high gasoline prices.People are hesitating to buy Automobiles and finally the companies here are suffering due to that. Although the roads are very big the condition of some roads are bad due to this economic slowdown. Life without a car can be terrible here.
Its cheap compared with stats like California, you can easily get a condo for around 800 to 900 dollars per month.
There are some Indian hotels here and there. But one Andhra hotel i had visited is having a nice buffet with reasonable prices. That is the one south indian hotel i had seen there. All shopping centers like Vons, Rite Aid, Longs etc can be seen everywhere. The summerset mall is a treat to the eyes

At Detroit Airport, Michigan , US
Detroit airport was big than i expected. It was too crowded and people where rushing to get to thier destinations. Similar kind of crowd we can see in normally in Indian Airports. There are a lot of hotels inside the airport. I was running out of time and didnt try any of the hotels.
While departing from the airport , there was heavy checking of the baggages. But the airport staff is friendly once we obey to thier instructions.
