I must explain my absense... I have been in Kansas City since Wednesday and have only had time to sit down and check my email twice. I only have time now to make a short post saying that part two of my story will be coming in the next couple days. I am leaving Kansas City tomorrow to go to Manhattan. Then to home on Wednesday. Since I got here I have been spending time with friends and family that I will not get to see again for sometime after I leave for Biloxi and then in November to England. It has been a great stay here and I wish I could stay longer but all good things come to an end as they say. I will post more about my trip at another day...
