Look for something in Madison or Dubuque Iowa after the Oshkosh stop. (July 29)


Now THAT'S a good idea. THANKS!

Since I'm in that part of the country (first time ever for me), I want to see Oshkosh Air Adventure -- if only for a day.

I think for me a round-trip San Jose-Chicago nonstop is the easiest and cheapest way to go, instead of hassling with regional airlines.

I'll just put a lot of miles on a rental car that week. No problem. That lets us (my wife and I) see that part of the country.

Thanks again for the suggestion, Robbie. I doubt if I'll have any trouble finding a hotel in either Madison or Dubuque. Obviously, Oshkosh is booked solid that week....


For what it's worth. Most of my family live near the Quad Cities. I used to fly there via Chicago (O'hare) but lately find it far less of a hassle to rent a car at O'hare drive to western Illinois, visit family and drive back to O'hare rather than do the plane change fandango. As long as you aren't mixing it up with rush hour traffic in Chicago the road trip is pretty painless if a little long.
