Any other hotels near or on airports?

Sounds like you want to buy rather than build? There's a motel right next to
Page Field in Fort Myers, Florida. During the winter, nearby Sanibel Island
attracts a lot of vacation traffic. From the outside, the place doesn't have the
ambiance of yours -- more like a "motel 6", but you might be able to do
something about that.

More prosaic is TYS in Knoxville, TN. During the summer, the nearby Smokies
attracts visitors, and the University of Tennessee brings in the college crowd
during the rest of the year. The football situation is worse than Iowa, so you'd
probably be packed in season.

If I were looking to build or create something from a private home, I would
investigate Sevierville, TN. It's closer to the Park and to the tourist traps of
Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

With all the renovation he dose maybe he should build!

the practice. I watched my dawgs on TV , and made sure I yelled GO DAWGS
SIC'EM RUFF RUFF RUFF every time we kicked off,..I am sure my neighbors hate

Well, I hear that the Vols made enough errors in the first two games to create
an entire one hour blooper video (Sam Venable column in the K-town paper).

Fine with me. If you actually believe in academics at UT, there are lots of
reasons to hate the athletic department.

That's true at any big-sports college.

The highest-paid (by far) public employee in the state of Iowa is....Kirk
Ferentz, the U of Iowa football coach. It's sad.

Perhaps it won't stay that way. I heard an interview with some bigwig at
Vanderbilt University. UT considered that school a walkover in the dark ages
when I attended. A year or two back, they got rid of their athletic department
(and I may have the wrong term there, but it's the autonomous group that used to
run the sports programs, not the group that teaches the phys-ed courses). This
year they are #1 (so far) in the SEC, and they're saving some ridiculous amount
of money.

Actually,
Vandy lost to LSU but do have a 4-2 record and for Vandy that is
outstanding! Saturday night Vandy will be 4-3 ..Georgia comes to Nashville
I will be highly depressed if Georgia does not leave Nashville 6-0 with
an absolute dominance of the SEC east. But I will hand it to Vandy ..they
always play tough against Georgia.
But as of today the SEC East standings are GEORGIA(3-0,5-0),
FLORIDA(3-1,5-1), VANDY (2-1,4-2), TENNESSEE(2-2,3-2),SOUTH
CAROLINA(1-3,3-3), and KENTUCKY(0-2,1-4)
But yes George, Vandy is better this year than they have been in a very
long time. I won't be surprised at all if there is a nice little SEC battle
in Nashville Saturday night...Dang I wonder if I could get some cheap
tickets to that one? Oh and Vandy's other lose, Middle TN upset them
17-15 in Nashville. MTSU played a great game!

Is that where the Tennessee aviation museum is?

Yes it is , I think a big drawback about the tourists of the area is they
mostly seem to drive through the smokies. Park your car and take the little
fake trolley in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg or you may spend your entire
vacation sitting in traffic. The guys around here fly over to the museum for
lunch and see the place quit often.
