The metro runs pretty late.
Yes, but I can't get home on the Metro, unless I want to walk a mile through cicadas in the dark at 2 am.
I suppose I could take the Metro to Bethesda and try to get a cab from there. [eta: Actually, this is a good plan, because I can have the Hyatt call a cab for me, and I won't have to wait outside anywhere. Excellent! Problem solved.]
Yes, you do.
ANDREW!!! It will be so good to see him again!

Wait, Jess.... You don't want to walk a mile through cicadas in the dark, at 2am?

Oh, for some reason I thought you could get reception underground, too.

You can. Or, at least, Verizon can. I think there are some services that can't, but I don't remember which is which, other than that Verizon can. (According to their commercials, Verizon also has service in the NY subways, but I have never had this work. I have made calls from underground metro trains, though. The reception's a little fuzzy, but it's there.)
I just talked to Javacat, who said that she talked to the hotel people, and the hotel pool will be open this weekend.

Cingular only got service in a few of the stations when I was there recently, but I was mostly underground at that point.
