I'm going home

It took a day of discussion: Would the Big Island really be cheaper? Did we really want to do that long flight? Is it worth it for 10 days?

In the end, it came down to the fact that Iowa was the original plan behind taking the time off and the price (especially for Sioux City) was really good ... given the current state of airfares. Brad was like, "We should go to Iowa. It'll be fun." Toonces texted that we had to come. The fam Pep said it would be thrilled to pick us up ... and by default let us drive the Cadi around for a week (wink, wink!).

Bradley's excited for snow (we're keeping our fingers crossed) and watching football. I'm just excited to go. And only 67 days until departure. :-)

Fam Pep take note:
1. Please bring my winter coat when you come to pick us up. I left it there in February.
2. Bradley wants to know if we can go to the Orpheum and Green Gables.
