I've been to Mankato, but I haven't spent much time there. No, I don't live in St. Paul any more, or anywhere else in Minnesota for that matter. I worked at the U for 3 years as a postdoctoral researcher, but the lab I was working in started running out of money, my boss started becoming erratic and difficult to work with, so I found another job, but it is British Columbia, Canada, so my wife and I moved back to Canada (we're Canadian). I really love Minnesota, the Twin Cities, and St. Paul in particular. We have a lot of really great friends there. We plan on returning at least once every 2-3 years for family vacations because it's so important to us. We left 15 months ago, but I still day dream about living there. I'd move back in a heart beat!
Our daughter was almost born in United Hospital in downtown St. Paul, but the new job I got needed me to start very quickly and they couldn't wait for the baby to be born in the US and then wait for all the paperwork to be completed for her to get a passport so we could take her with us back to Canada. So my wife (who was 8 months pregnant at the time), myself, our dog and cat packed up into a U-Haul and we drove back to Canada.

A headlamp is a good idea, but the nice thing about the GlowLight (insofar as I imagine it), is that it probably doesn't give off a lot of ambient light, so I can read and it's not going to keep my wife up (she's a very light sleeper), nor is it going to attract bugs if we're camping (again, I'm guessing?). That said, the head lamp is probably a lot more practical.
