Pages and pages of help. Good luck!

You will be very isolated... plan to drive a long way for a weekend getaway.

Lake Okoboji in NW Iowa is kind of fun - 1 hour 30 minutes.

Minneapolis - 4 hours

Omaha - 3 hours

Sioux City - 1 hour 30 minutes

Sioux Falls is a fun little city. There a few good restaurants, but nothing jumps out as a must try. Just realize you will be in the heart of rural America. If you're not used to it, it can be like a foreign country.

moti, describe the type of area you live in now. Some people wound find Souix Falls to be a move to the city. Others might find it too spread out and none pedestrian friendly. Others would notice the lack of trash and trashed out neighborhoods.

thanks for the advice. i'll try the google search. i currently live in the los angeles area. talk about a change! i think it will seem like a foreign country to me.

or another planet ...
