I just got into Kansas City, Missouri. It was almost midnight when the plane landed.
It was raining and we experienced some turbulence before touchdown.
This is Steve - the chauffeur from Overland Services who was there to pick me and send me to the Intercontinental, where some of us are staying. We booked this service from KL - its cheaper than trying to get a cab at midnight.
Steve is a courteous driver.
Steve chatted with me all the way - he did not have any inhibitions towards a foreigner.
As we approached the hotel, Steve asked me if I would mind taking a quick drive around the city to get my bearings. Though it was dark and raining and I was craving for a nice hot shower, I obliged seeing Steve was eager.
Steve drove me around some nice affluent neighbourhood - we went by some mansions some nice houses.
Steve then went pass the Kauffman Foundation and pointed out to me the nice eateries.
Once the tour was done, Steve dropped me at the hotel.
Boy, was it a long day:
KL - Taipei - LA - Phoenix - Kansas City.
Flying almost the whole day.
I am looking forward to the conference. Meanwhile, I await my snack before I hit this comfortable bed.
Cheers
