Any hotels in Iowa City?

[plumbus bobbus]

I will be visiting Iowa City soon and was wondering if anyone knew of a good
aviation themed hotel in that area?

Thanks
Bobbus

Well, you could always try the Alexis Park Inn - I saw a good review about it by
Rick Durden in one of the magazines. http://www.alexisparkinn.com

Where do you put your car when you stay at Jay's place?

Alexis Parkin' (You might see a Lexus parking at Alexis Parking.)

What do you say if you see a soccer player on fire?

Alexi's sparkin'!

That's enough (it was too much already). We will not delve into the
mysteries of Alexis Park Resort in Las Vegas.

No sane person would ever visit Iowa City. It's best to drive through that stretch of I-80
as fast as possible. Sleep in your car at the world's largest truck stop a few miles down the
road.

I heard the tires on the trailer didn't touch the ground going through Iowa the
second time. :-)

Yep, we dropped in on Jay the first time through (when the trailer was empty).
I'm not sure about any place where it took us an hour of driving around to find
a beer.

You'd think that Jay would know how to find his own house! :-)

Well, flying there does require an airplane capable of getting off the

They've ripped out my old panel and I am supposedly getting the cad drawings
of the new panel this week. After I approve that, they'll have it cut and put the
rest of it back together. After that it's interior and paint and I should be able
to fly it back home to have the new radios put in.

Ya know, Jack, you are messing with Karma or something by being so cruel to
those of us not fortunate to be able to fly at the moment.

I am recording and storing these little snippets of yours for future
retaliation.

Just so you knows . . .

Hopefully he can stop by ALEXIS PARK INN in the navion? That would be GREAT!

When the panel is done, please send pics of your panel to the ALEXIS PARK
INN.

Hey, did you perhaps spend time at the ALEXIS PARK INN? How was it?

And if your airplane can fly, the good news is that you can fly it to the
ALEXIS PARK INN!!

It would appear that Jay is paying all of us. I just downloaded the day's
headers for this group, and damned if 90% of them don't relate directly to
Jay's hotel.

I'd give you each a nickel beer if it would make it stop!

I will stop if you give me one free night in the Mustang Suite. Pay up, dog.

Jay posts four of five messages about his site dedicated to the NG and 200
erupt complaining it.

Jay...no good deed goes unpunished.
