Geo: 38.8405, -97.6097Not the greatest of road trips so far! My alarm went haywire this morning, the cat threw up, I had an hour delay at the Indian store, the darn speeding ticket, and now I am staying at the lowest budget Best Western I have ever stayed at! The AC barely keeps the room cool enough, the building with the indoor pool is too hot and steamy, the pool has dirt on the bottom, and the hot tub's water is cloudy.

The closest interesting things are Buffalo and Jamestown, NY and Niagara Falls and they,re about 2 and a half hours away.   We fly out of Wichita on Wed June 2 and flying into Buffalo, NY later that night. That will be cool.   :)   Will tell you more when I ... read more
