My wife is making the annual pilgrimage to Milwaukee in June this year and instead of flying I convinced her to go on another "casino run" like we did in Michigan 2 years ago. This time we are planning on visiting almost every casino in Iowa over a 3 or 4 day period and then make our way home thru the Missouri casinos. Should be an interesting trip especially since I have a 80+ year old aunt who lives in Iowa (and we have not seen her in 25+ years)and we hope to visit her.

This is turning into an interesting casino trip year for me. After taking it easy for a few years we are going to Tunica next week (to pick up more Splash goodies), Las Vegas in April with some non gambling friends, back to Tunica in May for the Gaming show, Iowa in June and then, of course, the convention. Somewhere in there I need to visit Louisville and Cincinatti to see if there is anything new at their casinos. It is a rough job but someones gotta do it.
