Cheese curds has a much greater appeal to me than any mall. You would have to drag me kicking and screaming to Mall of America. Mmmmmm cheese curds.

I've been to Mall of America, once, but that's not really Minneapolis.

One of the MN state employees booked me into a hotel right across the street from the MoA, assuming that would be attractive to me. Not at all, really. BUT, it meant handy restaurants, so I went.

Huge disappointment. A huge mall where there are 4 Marshall's and 4 Gaps is not vast, it's redundant.

Madison was $200ish to fly to either NW or Delta.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Minneapolis is a NW hub, which means that more people would have direct flights.

For some odd reason my search results for Minneapolis are much more expensive. Doesn't make sense to me.

Depends where you're flying from, I suppose. Minneapolis is a bit cheaper for me.

For the random weekend I chose from DC, Madison was cheaper.

Oh, that's true too, Sparky. Hadn't thought of that. I chose a random weekend as well.

This is a neat site for comparisons. I don't know how well they hold up in reality though.
