Steamboat Arabia
Any Kansas City readers out there in virtual land? What can you tell me about the Steamboat Arabia?

Figured it was pretty galoot friendly - and thanks for the offer of pics. Usually I'd be all over that with a "yes, please", but I'm currently labouring under the connection speed from hell and will have to ruefully decline. Thanks though, Roger.
