Quips, quotes and notes:
- I brought too many clothes and shoes….Lynn 5/11/25
- Don’t do back to back travel days, leave some time to rest….Kirk 5/11/25
- Nothing screams ‘out of towner’/’californian’ than me wearing Uggs and 4 layers of clothing at Target in South Dakota where it’s 73* but feels like 65* due to wind chill…Lynn 5/13/25
- Don’t take Costco for granted. There’s one Costco in South Dakota and its 4 hours away in Sioux Falls…Lynn 5/30/25
