mass transit
as far as i know, there is no mass transit from the kansas city airport. you can always get a taxi or a shuttle, tho.
not sure about the hotels, but i think the westin is probably the better of the two.

Actually, there is a bus from the airport to downtown, and you could connect to a bus to the Sheraton or Westin without a problem (those two hotels are just a couple blocks apart), along with any other Downtown or Plaza area hotel. The bus you'd want is 129 (which I'm sure is numbered that because it primarilly runs along Interstate 29). It picks up at the outside curb of the airport.

There was a fire at the Jack Stack yesterday. It appeared to be contained within the restaurant. I'll keep everyone posted but I don't think there should be ay issues.

Flights are booked, so I'm fully committed at this point in time. ^

And, yes, FortFun solved the Box mystery for you all.
