Getting to Kansas...

Our trip to Kansas was a story in itself... We wanted to register our car once we got to Kansas and the dealer we bought the car from assured us that he would send us a new 30 day tag once the first one expired. That way we could get down to Kansas on temporary tags. Well, the goal was to get to Kansas in time to go to the airport when Matt's parents arrived back from Paraguay. Matt e-mailed the dealer asking for the second thirty day tag about a week before we needed to have it. We kept checking the mail every day to see if it had come. The day before we were supposed to head down to Kansas, it had not arrived. The day we were supposed to leave, it had still not arrived. When Matt called the dealer he said that he had forgotten to mail it, but he would sent it Fed Ex next day delivery. Fortunately we had been planning to take a couple of days to get down to Kansas. I have relatives along the way that we had wanted to spend some time with. We ended up leaving right after lunch the day before Matt's parents were supposed to arrive. We stopped briefly and had dinner with my aunt, uncle and cousin and then kept driving till late. We did stop at a hotel for a few hours to sleep and then got up early the next morning to head down to Wichita. We didn't get there soon enough to meet Matt's parents at the airport, but we were able to join the family for lunch.
