hotels are booked for Des Moines and a B&B in Dubuque...somewhere I've always wanted to go.

(that was the college I picked back in the day. before I realized I wouldn't be going to college. hell, I couldn't even pronounce it correctly.)

now will journey into Wisconsin instead of Minnesota, just want to go somewhere we've never been. Dubuque may throw a wrench in the Buddy Holly plans....they've been pushed to the back burner before.
