I'm hoping you will stay overnight at my place and spend a day at Niagara Falls. Lots to see and do there, especially with a guide who was born there. Plus I know the good roads instead of the QEW. The 3 people who followed me home from the MOA rally seemed to really enjoy it.

4 hours from my house to Flint. You have to get back to my house from the Falls, so 5 hours from the Falls. You can go south to Chicago from Flint. Some nasty high traffic areas once you leave MI, but that's life. If you have the time, though, plan to go north, over the Macinack bridge, then south along the west side of Lake Michigan to Milwaukee, then south to Chicago. Much, much nicer.
Again, don't cast anything in stone too much ahead of time. Use your routes as general guides but be open to weather and the suggestions of locals as you go along.
