I've got the itch, again, to pursue a pilot's license. Not certain why, but I have been thinking of all the traveling our family does and how much more fun it could be in a small plane.

Want to meet the folks for a Sunday lunch--no problem, see you in 30 minutes. Traveling to family in the South (Florida, Carolinas, Texas & Virginia) will be quicker and more often. Don't want to spend a whole weekend driving 6 hours away--fly in less than half the time!

I first considered a general recreational license similar to what my Grandpa had when I was growing up. But... I so much enjoyed my several flights in Ford's 14-passenger Lear jets (that is, until the federal government had better plans). So, a happy medium may be a private license allowing piloting of a turboprop jet.

The family and I are on an extended stay vaction / work trip in KCMO. We have yet to go to a Royals or Chiefs game, but here are some things we've seen and done thus far. Much fun has been had by all.

Sheraton Suites: our home away from home

Country Club Plaza: Over 120 stores fill the architecturally classic 14 block district and create the experience that makes The Plaza one of the Midwest's premier destinations.

The Power & Light District / Sprint Center: The $850 million mixed-use district is one of the largest development projects in the Midwestern United States The Power & Light District is one of only a few places in the United States where possession and consumption of open containers of alcoholic beverages are allowed on the street.
