How does Louisiana sound? I know, I know - hurricanes, but HUM sits on
high ground in the area and doesn't usually flood (even during both of
the recent hurricanes). The airport is adjecent to Houma, which offers
a couple of local plantation musuems, nightlife and other venues to
enjoy the Cajun culture. Additionally, it sits about 60 miles from the
French Quarter and all the N.O. attractions. My wife is from the area
and the in-laws are still there and we visit regularly.

Its also much warmer than Iowa :-). The peak tourist season in the
area is from February thru May, which might work well with your current
schedule.
