"...a week long trip to Washington, D.C."
Ian,
I'am sure that there are enough old farts reading this board
that have some insight on "Washington, D.C. in January" :o)
The Good, Bad & Ugly for eating, sleeping and sightseeing.
As for my advice, i'll switch from a gotmilk to Gata Nut # 1
and warn you of a BIG mistake Gata Bill Murphy walked into.
Not only did it slow his efforts after he arrived, but caused him
pain & suffering both while he met with people during and after
he left and returned home to continue his Walking his Talk.
Please don't make the mistake Gata Bill made.
Hint: Don't walk those miles in his "shoes."
I'll wait a few hours to see if any old farts, or maybe the
Sheriff Batty Matty new fart can realize this important advice.
I doubt it, so i'll post that important "What NOT to do." later.
