Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm so sorry, Cashmere.

Any DCistas around? I have to book a flight for one of my bosses to a conference in Falls Church, VA; the conference website says it's pretty much equidistant from Dulles or Joey Ramone Memorial. The distance may be the same, but I thought I should check whether one airport is markedly nicer (or wretcheder) than the other, or whether one will be an easier drive to Falls Church. Recs?

In my opinion, National is a much easier airport to deal with. It's smaller, and you can walk from one end to the other in a few minutes. Dulles has this crazy transport system which is kind of cool, but an enormous pain to deal with. I don't know about driving, but public transport is simple from National, and a pain from Dulles.

Dog is my co-pilot.

I agree on the National Airport choice. You can get to Falls Church from National via the Metro or a cab or a rental. It's way easier as long as you can follow directions.

ETA: I say "as long as you can follow directions" because I have a friend who is challenged in that skill and took over an hour to make a 10 minute trek to his motel, all while on the phone with my DH.

I'm so sorry Cash. Your poor family.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And I spoke too soon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm so sorry, Cashmere.

Oh Cashmere, I'm so sorry.

On the bright side, the pilot for this flight is a woman with a thick Texas accent, and I'm picturing that msbelle will be flying the plane. Or maybe Elastigirl.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Tom, what airline and flight number? We'll follow you on the flight trackers.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ftr, I RAWK at doing the Elastigirl parts in The Incredibles book.

Cashmere - Dec 28, 2007 3:34:41 pm PST #9648 of 10001

Now tagless for your comfort.

Tom, Elastigirl doesn't have too good of a track record with regards to piloting planes.

I am with Hil in regards to National vs. Dulles. I very much prefer National and find the metro very easy to deal with. But I once road a shuttle in Dulles with Gary Condit.
