Default 5 Flights to Make Before You Die

I personally would like to make a return trip to Iowa City, which I would
rank as one of the most under rated spots in the country. There are both
great food and lodging to be had there, and the FBO is pleasant and
comfortable. You will never hear complaints about them catering to the
kerosene burners. Fuel prices are reasonable. The town (not really a city
in the true sense) is clean and safe. There are all of the arts and cultural
activities associated with a large university town.

Who could ask for more in a trip?

I personally think Mackinac was a little over rated. It is solely for
tourists, expensive, and a bit tacky. It is hard to distinguish from any
other tourist oriented place when walking in town. It is worth seeing, but
not a great experience, as compared to the Badlands, Yosemite, etc.

The best part is the horse drawn taxi ride.

Jay:

Are you and Mary going to be in town during the Memorial Day weekend? We may
try to make another overnight trip (it's only an hour ride).

However, for us to go away takes more logistic planning than the Normandy
invasion- kennel both dogs, no conflicts with Air Force or hockey, not on
call, etc. Wish we could just jump in and go.
