I'm an auditor for HUD's Office of Inspector General, and I worked in KCK before I moved to SoCal a couple years ago. I lived in a suberb of KCMO for 23+ years, but I worked over State Line in the KCK HUD-OIG office, and then I transferred out here a couple years ago and do the same thing out here only for the LA office now. I've audited many housing authorities in my day and seen all the "ghetto" areas. I've dealt one on one with lots of people while conducting inspections of their houses to make sure HUD is keeping their Housing Quality Standards up the way the federal regulations require them to, etc., and everyone has been sooooo nice to me. It's really an interesting job because you get to talk to so many people!

As for the walk-through you mentioned, we are not making plans anywhere that we haven't personally been to before, and my mom (who also has a Yorkie, and is a member of YT) has offered to check out anything we need her to in advance of our arrival, so no worries there! The hardest part we're facing is making sure we can do our activities with our babies, as so many people don't allow them in their facilities!!!!

P.S. - BTW - You mentioned Puerto Rico...I think Puerto Rico has the BEST food! And I just have to say that because my husband and I talk about it ALL the time! We stayed overnight in Puerto Rico last year, and we ate as much food as we could get our hands on because it was soooooooooo yummy! I have a friend in Puerto Rico that was going to play travel guide for my husband and I for the 2 days we had there before moving on, but it turns out he had to be "on the other side of the island" that weekend, so it didn't work out. I'm so excited to go back and EAT though! LOL! Have you eaten at Cafe del Angel? It was delish!!!!! Sorry to get off topic!!!
yall got everything covered so thas awesome... I think I should be in Omaha this summer so i plan on coming. I am gad u got history in KC because i know it sucks when i am planing a business trip and the hotel is way out of the way or crappy but looked sooo good in the picture online, u know?

Yeah PR can be an awesome place if you plan your trip. I know most people don't know that there is the biggest space observatory(i think in the world) in Areceibo. It has a Huge satellite dish. A little research and planning can make even a one week trip anywhere a lot more exciting. No I don't think i have been to cafe del angel, but i been across the street to my neighbors house (casa de abuela lol) and her food is soo awesome i don't need to even go to restaurants lol.
