So in order for Avocado to get the FULL GRINNELL EXPERIENCE (ie., lunch with a student, sleeping on a student's floor, etc.) we had to rejigger our trip. Schedule is now:
Fly out of SFO on Wednesday, 10/9
Arrive DesMoines just about midnight that night. Stay at airport hotel.
Thursday, 10/10
Drive to Grinnell early. Kid interviews, eats, tours, stays on campus, visits a class...)
I stay in Grinnell.
Friday, 10/11
Finish up at Grinnell. Drive to Minneapolis/St. Paul
Saturday, 10/12
Kid interviews at Macalester
Sunday, 10/13
Roving band of two (me and the kid) on the loose in Mpls
Monday, 10/14
Kid interviews at Carleton
Fly back to San Francisco
Tuesday, 10/15
Kid back at school. Me back at work, muttering "I'm too old for this shit" under my breath.
Minneapolitans: any suggestions on a decent hotel that is relatively convenient to the city?
