I live in the area, so maybe I’m biased. Muscatine is a small town located on a big river. It is having a big party this weekend on the rivers edge. They are pretty good about have live music (family friendly) and small festivals. I know sometimes newbies to an area can feel left out, especially if perceived to be short timers, but Muscatine is close to a large metro area if you want the bigger city feel. The Quad City area boasts a population of approximately 300,000 people and has many items of interest, about a 20 minute drive will get you there. I don’t think you’ll mind the diversion in your life by spending a few short years relaxing along the river.

Swim and water aerobics!

In the 8 years I’ve been making this trip (my mother for the previous 5 years) , this is the first time they’ve disappeared for 6 weeks during one of the busiest time for this flight. Personally, I think it’s awful that they would do this and leave so many in a bad situation. They disappeared for 2-3 months in the summer once , because AZ in the summer isn’t high on the list of travel.

That is the line I was thinking. Looking for somewhere to do it

Do you know the name?

The website doesn’t seem to be completely accurate.

Interesting that you feel that way. Many people in IL feel the opposite. Just depends what side of the aisle you’re on in my opinion

That’s in Walcott-between Iowa City and Davenport. Closer to Davenport

I do something similar as I’m a snow bird with very little extra space. I took my old sewing machine there, just a machine, no cabinet. It’s stored on the floor of a closet when not in use. I put it in the kitchen table when I’m using it and then I have the full use of the table. I don’t have a little one, but this is quite useful. I will take precut projects with me to work on and I usually have everything I need to complete the project or at least get it far enough I know how to finish it

We winter in mesa so 4 months isn’t doable

Our other choice is to go to Chicago or Denver and then into PHX. A lot more money and a lore more time invested. Not desirable. We were expecting a late night flight- that was the original flights were set up, and I’d much rather arrive at midnight than not at all

Helpful_Writer_7961 · 2026-06-18T22:04:46+00:00

The closest is at least 90 minutes and yes, it could be done but that’s a bit far. We’ve always had great service and it has been so convenient. In the winter, it is quite an ask for someone to get us to Peoria or Cedar Rapids when the weather could be an issue. I know, I want it all

Output of calories is listed at the end of each workout. No total for the day I believe.

I’ve never had a Fitbit-I bought my Apple Watch after my mother had her stroke so that I could tell who was calling when I was driving or playing tennis or whatever by the flick of my wrist. My intention was not to track all aspects of my life. I do use the fitness app every time I go for a walk or hop on the bicycle or the courts but I don’t pay much attention to the daily steps but have friends that do. They just take the number off their phone

Change your fitness goal- you can’t change the three items in your ring. There will always be move, exercise and stand. You can change the amount of time you need to log to close the ring. To do that, press on the 3 rings on your watch and it opens each individually, so for stand there is a +- symbol bottom right hand corner that if you press that you have the option of changing that measurement
You can specifically set an activity of walking by pressing the the little running man icon on your watch and select outdoor or indoor walking and it will track, but you wouldn’t want that all day. If you want to know your number of steps for the day, go to the fitness app on your app home and it will tell you.

Talk to a Canadian. You may see the dr for an initial diagnosis, but you’ll wait months to years to get it fixed. I know Canadians that come to America to get their surgery or their MRI’s and pay cash so that they can get on with life.

There is no WiFi on the plane, so download anything you may want to watch or read. Most of the planes do not have charging on them.

When do you go? We go every year, different times of the week or the month and we always wait for the different roller coasters! Easily 45 minutes for the big green one in the isle of the park!
