Kansas City is all one big mass of area, however, it spans over State Line. That's why there is Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS. To clear up any confusion on where the meet-up is...it will be in Kansas City, MISSOURI!!!!! Kansas City, KS was originally mentioned because KS is considered the middle of the US, but KCK (what us Missourians call Kansas City, KS) is not as nice an area as KCMO. Also, MCI (the airport you'll need to fly into for people who are flying) is in North Kansas City, MISSOURI! We began discussing hotels that were technically in Overland Park, KS because that is actually a nicer area even than KCMO, but none of the hotels would have us (they all LOVE Yorkies, but they won't let us bring them to their hotels
), so after all the Overland Park hotels didn't work out, we began discussing that the next nicest area is the Country Club Plaza in KCMO, and now Marci is looking into hotels there that will have us AND our furbabies!!!! The Plaza is also a bonus because there is dog-friendly shopping within walking distance, whereas you would've needed a car to get most anywhere if we'd had it in Overland Park (and that's a concern for people who are flying in). So, for anyone traveling to the meet-up, it will be in Kansas City, MO, and if you'd like to Mapquest your drive to the general Country Club Plaza address for now since we don't know which hotel will be "the winner", you can map the intersection:
W 47th St & Broadway St
Kansas City, MO 64112
