Prepping for Iowa

I picked up a rental car today. 

It seems this little accident might turn out to be an unexpectedly serendipitous event. Instead of driving to Iowa in my car, which has 171,000 miles on it, we will be traveling in a brand new Kia Sportage. It's a mid sized SUV with all wheel drive. It's got lots of cool features.
We are leaving in the morning for Des Moines. The one in Iowa. It's 1,500 miles away.

It is snowing out right now. So that means the trip is going to be very exciting. We will just pace ourselves and take it easy. Instead of two days, we might take three.

The reason for the drive is our insane cheapness. We can drive there and back for less than the cost of one airline ticket. That includes motels and meals. As for our time, that's not worth much.

Besides, we like the drive. And the company is fabulous.
