Barbara King Honored as one of Top 100!

I just learned I was chosen by KC Magazine as one of the TOP 100 people in Kansas City! Who knew? Here’s the link to the digital edition of the magazine. I’m listed on page 90–just below Mayor James! Woo hoo!

Barbara King sells a flight into Space—eat your heart out, Ashton Kutcher!

You may have heard that Hollywood star, Ashton Kutcher, signed up as Virgin Galactic’s 500th Future Astronaut! I’m not sure which Accredited Space Agent made that sale (there are only 125 ASAs in the whole world!). I do know that for some obscure reason Ashton didn’t call me to assist him in this “once in a lifetime journey.”  Well, hold on to your hats, Hollywood, because the Midwest is coming on strong! On March 27 I sold a suborbital Space flight aboard Virgin Galactic to a Kansas Citian!

The moral of this story: there is life between the East and West Coast and in my Rodney Dangerfield attitude of we get NO respect, Kansas and Missouri are NOT flyover states! We’ve got Dorothy, Toto, the Wiz, the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, great jazz,  the world’s best barbecue—and one of the world’s most respected vacation planning companies, Great Getaways Travel.

What’s one of the best destinations for Fly-Fishing in the US?

If you love Fly-Fishing or are angling to learn (I just can’t avoid puns, can I?), watch this video from our friends at the Resort at Paws Up. After watching the video, I added this experience to my “I wanna go” list. I wonder if the fishing techniques I practiced as a preschooler on fishing trips to Northern Wisconsin will still work???
We are hooked on the Resort at Paws Up!
