Business. I go at least six times per year.

I learned on my last trip there to not fly through Chicago: both outbound and return trips this time are through Denver.

I could've told you that Also don't let them try to switch you to a Chicago plane saying you will have an easier time getting out, they LIE!

From past experience, when Gary was with me, I'd say you won't need the longjohns unless you plan on outdoor activities, although silk ones sound wonderful to me! You should have something to cover your head/ears. Gloves are a great idea too.

When Gary and the boy came they got a convertible and drove around with the top down while it was snowing! Yep, I heard people talking about those crazy people for weeks. I didn't tell them it was my family! If you are mostly inside just wear a good coat and decent shoes, you don't want to slide on the ice and snow. If you layer you will just get hot quicker and then have a lot of layers to carry around with you.

Have you tried the Drake Diner? They have wonderful food. I'll have to think of other good food places. They do have great jazz clubs in Des Moines if you like that kind of music.

Susan and I will frequently drive in a light rain with the sunroof open.

I usually don't have time for fun stuff. Normally I get in later on Sunday evening and leave early (before dinner) on Tuesday. I stay in Ankeny as it is closer to the plant I am visiting and have found a favorite BBQ restaurant there (Bandanas).
