Spent the last two days making site visits to three hotels here in KC that we are considering for a local embroidery seminar in 2011. OW! That's a lot of walking on concrete, my joints are protesting and I really can't blame them.

The site search has been interesting, we have a wide variety of venues in this area, and a wide variety of pricing. Not surprising, anything down on the Plaza is major bucks. Best ones, and cost, seem to be up by the airport.

This all really took me back to the old trek convention days. Sigh, so much younger then and could go all day on a snickers bar and coca cola :). We did several at the Hilton that used to be right off of the plaza (which was supposed to be torn down next year). They had a polynesian restaurant that served scorpion drinks, with big gardenias in them. At least one of these was my 'reward' after the masquerade was done on saturday night. The gardenia went into my hair. One year I had three of them in my hair :) :) :).

hmmm, anyone local know why Conquest was not at the Hilton up at the airport this year????
