I have stayed at this hotel a couple of times when I have an early morning flight out of the airport. One thing I like about this hotel is it is very close to the Minneapolis Airport and they have complimentary airport shuttle to and from the airport. As for the hotel itself, it is worth the money. The refrigerator and microwave in the unit are very good size. The room is spacious. Each time I ...

I have to travel to Omaha fairly often. I always choose to stay at this Holiday Inn for many reasons. I always book a suite room, which has a microwave and fridge in the room. This room is spacious and has a little kitchenette with glassware and such. The bed is comfortable and I can get a good nights sleep. The bathroom area is very roomy. One thing I really like about this place is the shower...

I have stayed at this hotel two different times in the past 7 months. This hotel is decent with a fair price. The first time I stayed here I booked the extended king suite. It had a king bed with a separate living/sitting area. The area was separated from the sleeping area with a privacy wall. It was a good size room, spacious and clean. I only paid $94.00 for this room a night, which I felt wa...

I was a little unsure about staying here recently as it has just opened and doesn't have a lot of reviews on it. Well, I can say no one has anything to worry about staying here. It is a nice place to stay while you are in Lincoln, Nebraska. The price is very reasonable. I only paid $80 a night for a 2 Queen Bed room. The rooms are kind of basic, but they do have a fridge and microwave in th...

I have been using this leaf blower a lot recently with all the leaves falling. We have a corner lot with 3 large oak and maple trees. Needless to say we get a yard full of leaves every year. I purchased this model after my old leaf blower stopped working. I found the Toro 12 amp easy to use and fairly lightweight. The switch over from blower to vacuum is a breeze. There are three levels of powe...

I have been wanting a digital camera for a while. Before deciding on a camera I did a lot of research. A lot of reviews gave this camera high marks so I checked it out. I can honestly say this camera is a great camera. I love my Canon Powershot! It takes great pictures. The colors are vibrant. It has a 12x zoom on it, which really brings in images close. One of my favorite features on this came...

Yahtzee is a great family fun game. It is a combination of luck and strategy, with more luck. The thing I like the most about Yahtzee is it is very easy to learn and it can be enjoyed by kids and adults. It is simple and straight forward. I have had many great family times with this game growing up and with my own family. As a child I remember playing it with my parents and my grandparents. Tod...

I travel a lot for business so I stay at many different hotels. Recently I stayed at the AmericInn in Fargo, North Dakota. This is a great hotel to stay at if you are in the Fargo area. I paid a rate of $79 a night for a 2 queen bed room. The hotel itself was very clean and the rooms were spacious. The room had a refrigerator but no microwave. I also like that the room had a pretty good size lo...

I recently stayed at the Best Western Ramkota Hotel in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This is a great large scale hotel. It also has a conference room. The room itself was clean when I arrived. It has a refrigertor and a microwave in the room. The bed was comfortable. I ended up trying the restaurant in the hotel. I have to say that was probably my best meal of my whole trip. The restaurant is a li...

While on business I stayed at the Days Inn in Champaign, Illinois. My experience was horrible. I have to tell people to stay far away from this hotel. When I checked in the staff seemed very short and didn't want to do their job. I gave them the benefit of the doubt of just having a bad day. When I got to my room, it was OK enough. The lightning was poor though and the room was very basic. ...

I stayed at the Quality Inn and Suites in Des Moines, Iowa for a quick business trip. This hotel is great for the business traveler. The hotel is very clean, which is important to me. The staff was very friendly at check in and check out. I had no problems with my reservations. It has a very nice restaurant in the hotel. I had supper there and the food was very good and service was top notch. T...

We recently took a family vacation out West. We stopped at the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. This is a must see. It is conveniently off of Highway 90. My family really enjoyed this place. The rock formation is incredible. As you are driving up to the park it is amazing how you see prairie land for miles and then all of a sudden you have these incredible rock formations with these beau...

If you are in the Black Hills area in South Dakota, you really need to make a stop to Custer State Park. This is not to be missed. The scenery is stunning, the forest of lush and thick. The cost is $12 I believe, but the pass is good for 7 days. Our favorite part of Custer State Park was taking a drive through the park and never knowing what was going to be around the bend. One time we had a bu...

 This cave is in Custer, South Dakota. This cave offers different tours and different fitness levels. My family did the scenic tour which is the moderate fitness level tour. It is 1.5 hours. My son is 8 years old and he had no problem going up and down the stairs. There are 700+ steps on this tour, so if you are very out of shape you probably want to stick with the easy tour. Although I di...

If you are driving through South Dakota, don't miss this awesome National Monument. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. My parents took me here when I was about my son's age. Now I took my son here and he really enjoyed it. It is a great family vacation stop. It is fun and it opened my son to ask different questions about the Presidents, who they were and what they did. There is a ...

We found this place kind of accidentally. We left Mt. Rushmore and drove into Keystone, South Dakota to check out the town. We came across this Museum and decided to check it out. This place looks small on the outside and there was not many cars in the parking lot. We were not too sure if they were even open. But we gave it a chance and I am so glad we did, I absolutely loved this place.Fi...

 This is probably my son's favorite part of our vacation. This place is very easy to get to, just right off of Highway 16 in Rapid City. It has three informative shows, a bird show, an alligator show and a snake show. What I like about these shows is they have them timed so you can just hop to one after another and catch all the shows. The guide of the Alligator show was very entertain...

We arrived here right when they opened. This is the best time to go the animals were very active. Bear Country in South Dakota is a drive through wildlife park. We saw elk, bison, wolves and of course bears. Most of the animals were eating and walking around. When we got to the bear area though they were more active then the rest of the animals. We had one bear that was just sitting in the...

OK, we were not sure about this place at all. We decided to check it out after visiting Bear Country USA. It is a fun place, not something I would feel the need to visit every time when I am in South Dakota, one visit is probably enough. There are steep paths to the place and it can be a bit strenuous because of the mystery forces at work, but it is a short walk. Upon entering there are some ve...

We stopped at Wall Drug on our way to the Black Hills in South Dakota. After seeing road sign after road sign for miles we thought we would check this place out. Please do yourself a favorite and just keep driving by this place. It is not worth it. No one in my family liked it. Basically it is shop after shop connected by hallways and tunnels. The stuff I saw was either cheap toys, western wear...
