Hmm... breaking out the EggNog around there buddy? or is that a Freudian
slip and you'd really rather be in Texas? BTW... MSNBC says you don't have any snow cover in Iowa, just thought I'd let ya know ![]() Jim "Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com... I'd love to fly to a B&B (preferably within a six-hour C172 flight of Dallas) for new years. Anyone know of any good places or resources for finding near-airport B&Bs? One with an instrument approach would be ideal (depending on WX) but maybe not necessary. Thanks! -Nick /commerical mode on Set a course of 206, and fly 4:15 hours. When you land, you'll be at the Alexis Park Inn & Suites, in Iowa City, IA -- where you can stay in one of our aviation theme suites. Each suite has a jacuzzi, a full kitchen, living room, delivered-to-the-suite continental breakfast, and you'll enjoy free use of our courtesy car for the duration of your stay. We've got packages that include dinner and champagne, if you'd prefer. We've got GPS and VOR approaches to KIOW, which is located about 400 feet away... See us at www.AlexisParkInn.com /commercial mode off :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

BTW... MSNBC says you don't have any snow cover in Iowa, just thought I'd
let ya know ![]() Actually, we *are* apparently an anomaly now. The recent warm weather has completely melted the snow in Des Moines, and to the southeast of us in Burlington -- but we've still got a good 6 - 8 inches on the ground, with humongous piles of it everywhere. We at least were able to bust up some of the ice that had formed in between our buildings today, with 44 degree temps. Man, that stuff was thick, and like iron. Kept my 15 year old son busy for HOURS! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

that ice! ![]() Well, the pattern was full, today, and everyone was still using 30, cuz 25 was just a sheet of melting ice. That will hopefully teach them to get on the snow immediately, rather than waiting 12 hours before plowing... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
