You are right – it is important to know our own numbers! We just got the Iowa numbers yesterday, I posted them in my blog at http://www.needalitleadvice.com Happy news indeed!
Deb, those are excellent travel numbers for Iowa tourism businesses to look over. Most states have their own version, so everyone should check with their state tourism group.
