-This was my very first time in/near the Kansas City area/state of Kansas/western Missouri. I've been to St. Louis before, but not here. Lots of family in Indiana.
During my layover here, I walked and took photos inside the gate area, ate at Jose Quervo's Tequileria restaurant. I regret not stepping outside for awhile. However, I plan to return eventually.
-Photos of souvenir and boarding passes are shown at the end.
-Being here meant I was in the vicinity of greatness. Not too far from/fairly close to the home base of one of my favorite YouTube channels/communities: G
