.Direct to Chicago,then driving WEST seems a good alterative.I see there is a Comfort Inn in Le Claire Iowa,and a few resturants

Linda is planning on talking to Comfort Inn Tuesday. (she wants to talk to a mangr) She also has a great idea for something to do for us early arrivals, but I better let her tell ya. If everything goes well, She'll probly post details and prices Tue. evening.

(hint) Cordova still has their 2011 "World Series Of Drag Racing" schedual on site. Check it out to see what a great show it is (was) last year. I'm sure 2012 will be just as good.

Rock Island has a international airport ( can handle up to a 747 but they do not have flights that big ,only the back up for AF1 when they go to Chicago ) you can get a connector from o hare or direct from Minnapolis ,driving its 3 hours from Chicago Ohare ( 4 if you go by z house ) and yes there is alot of stuff to see out there as you have john Deere museum , riverboats , museums in the quad , Davenport has a supposed nice art museum , and North of the track you have Clinton IA and Fulton Il .
