After a relaxing hiatus, The Upstate Life returned home last night with two ears that still hadn't popped from the plane ride and a whopping 447 spam messages courtesy of Gmail. And while we somehow got away with (unintentionally) stowing a bottle of Visine in our pocket aboard the plane, TUL got the intensive security treatment due to a can of Fresca in our backpack we completely forgot about. We have approximately two days to brush up on our non-liquid packing skills since we'll be heading to Kansas City next week for work. If anyone has any suggestions and/or recommendations of places to check out/eat/drink/etc please feel free to let us know even though we're already banking on a low amount of free time. The fact that our hotel, however, is walking distance from one of the casinos will mostly likely rapidly consume those precious minutes (and dollars).
