Day One - Ordeals

So after the trouble with the car, I get up early to get everything together.  I know I won't get the car first thing in the morning, but I am hoping by 10, or maybe 11.   Not my luck.   I get picked up around 12, get the car, load it up, and get on the freeway at 1pm.   So much for looking around Kansas City in the day.

So the car.   It is a nice car.  Leather seats, lots of bells and whistles, and so far, good gas mileage.  The poor point is that it has a tiny trunk space.    One of the reasons we got the car was so we could take a bunch of stuff with us instead of buying it down there.   Also, it makes it easier for Kim to fly, as she doesn't have a ton of luggage.   Well, I got less than half of our stuff in the trunk.  One large suitcase, one bag, a couple cases of Angry Orchard, and a couple of pillows.   That is all I could get in the trunk.   Everything else went in the back seat or in the front seat (that was the cooler with my snacks and such for travel).

The trip itself was OK.   I had a couple unscheduled stops, but overall, it wasn't too bad.   I am listening to the Life of Ceasar podcast that I subscribe to via iTunes.   I highly recommend it if you want to have some fun while learning.   I plan on listening to more as I continue my drive.

So I got to Kansas City around 8pm.   Super nice hotel and I am up on the 20th floor.  It is a good view.  I decide to eat at the hotel, as I am tired and don't feel like wandering the streets.   The steak was good, but I probably should have gone out.   Now I am about to head off to bed and rest up for the next leg of the trip to Dallas.   I will take some pictures before I go.  I do have the puck with and plan on getting some puck pictures while vacationing.
