Pack. Unpack. Rinse. Repeat. Refuel.

Juan and I are on the way to New Hampshire. Juan, like Stewy, who you met in Iowa, is the calm to my storm. He is also like a vault. I remember talking to him once, adding, "You know this is between us, right?" He responded, "Don't worry. I probably won't even remember."

Juan has a great sense of humor, and is a great photojournalist.

Iowa ended up being warmer than expected. It hit the 40's every day, except the day we flew out. It's a different story in New Hampshire. We are looking at the high of 30 every day and lows in the teens.

Now many of you may know by now I am from Buffalo, New York. So when I m heading to cold weather, people often say, "You will be fine. You are from Buffalo." Just because you are from Buffalo does not mean you are born with a layer of Under Armor. Cold is cold.

Politically, New Hampshire could be full of surprises. Donald Trump leads in the polls but got more than a few boos during the debate Saturday. All of the governors, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and John Kasich, need to do well in New Hampshire. They each had strong performances in the debate. Christie attacked U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (FL-R).

Rubio, who has been on his way up, did not have a good night. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz(TX-R) had an emotional moment talking about his sister, who died of a drug overdose.

Like in Iowa, there are Texans volunteering for Cruz in New Hampshire. We hope to track down some for you. Thanks for following along again!!
