If your business is in Chantilly, you want Dulles. Chantilly is practically walking distance. Not that anything out that way were set up for pedestrians, but you get the idea. Plus National has those nasty noise abatement procedures that make you feel like you're on a roller coaster during takeoff.
There's a hotel right at the intersection of Routes 28 and 50 in Chantilly. I think it's a Marriott. The summer of the flood, we stayed at the Residence Inn by Fair Lakes shopping center, which is a little farther away, but nice if you rate a suite (plenty of restaurants literally in walking distance, though nothing special).
We're in Centreville, which is right next to Chantilly. If you land from, or take off to, the south, you'll likely fly right over our subdivision.
There's also a marriott in Chantilly, I believe.
There is, Vortex. The room rate is twice the Extended Stay and the Holiday Inn. So far the Holiday Inn is the only one I see with free wireless (gotta keep up with my school stuff).
Things at National aren't as bad as they were - you can get up from your seat during the first and last half hour if you have to.
Springhill Suites in Centreville (just off 29 and 28, almost a straight shot from Dulles and Chantilly) has wireless, and I presume free.
(gotta keep up with my school stuff).
Sure, right, need the internet for school. My kids try and sell me that one.
Suzi, it occurred to me - rather than you drinking to deal with your obnoxious cow-irkers, bring in something cheap and flavorless and spike their coffee. If nothing else, you might get a few laughs.
School stuff, right.
with no traffic
With the what now? We're still talking about NoVa, right? I'm not sure those words make any sense.
I think Vortex was estimating how long it would take if there weren't any traffic ... at maybe 2:00am. on a Sunday. during a Congressional recess.
The itinerary making is on hold until I get solid dates. But it is good to see what the option are. I'll see if Springhill Suites is on the list of "approved sites".
