Put me on the list to contact with specifics.  Took a really nice trip in 
the bus with my daughter a year ago last April.  On the way up, visited the 
Amish comminities around Kalona, the Field of Dreams, then on to the river 
road (Mississippi) in Wisconsin to the "Little House" log cabin at Pepin and 
surrounding area.  Came back down through Minnesota and Iowa to see the Bily 
Clock Museum, Dvorjak summer home, another "Little House" home (the theme of 
the trip!), the Capitol Building in Des Moines, etc.  (Oh, yes, - we also 
walked my old paper route in Charles City, and visited relatives, and saw 
three houses I used to live in.....)

Anyway, let me know.  It might be time to go again.
