I want to take a vacation this year and I don’t know where to go. I contacted the Southwest Missouri Tourism Board and they gave me several ideas. I also contacted the tourism boards in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, and Arkansas. They were all very helpful and, of course, they all wanted me to come to their states. It’s nice to be wanted. The Midwest as a whole is a beautiful place to vacation and you can see so much diversity by just driving a hundred miles in any direction. Vacations are defiantly on my agenda for this year as I didn’t take any last year.
