Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!
is it more convenient to fly into Dulles, or National?
National.
Isn't that the one where you can't get out of your seat 30 minutes after takeoff and before landing?
Anyway, whatever's most convenient to the people who are making airport runs is what I want to book. So -- National?
Even BWI is generally easier to deal with than Dulles, IME. But I think FredPete is out that way, so maybe not.
If there is a place that has a few pool tables and some dart boards, that would be awesome. I love throwing darts!
The Hawk & Dove is nearby, and has pool tables. Also, I seem to remember a tiki bar on that same block, which could be fun.
From National, you can take the subway within a couple of blocks of the hotel. Subway has a station within the airport.
Isn't that the one where you can't get out of your seat 30 minutes after takeoff and before landing?
Yes, but this really isn't as big a deal as some people have made it sound. Seriously, I would never have noticed that it was longer than the standard "seatbelts on" phase without being told.

Yup, because it's just across the river from the city. That's why it's convenient.

Yes, but it's really not as bad as it sounds. Honestly. (You can't get out of your seat for the last 20-ish minutes of any flight going into ANY airport, because the plane is landing. If the flight crew didn't mention that it was a security issue, you probably wouldn't even notice that you were being asked to sit a little longer than usual.)
And once you get out of the plane, National is much more convenient than either Dulles or BWI, in terms of getting into the city.

Right on. Booking ticket now....

Yeah. It's more an objection to the whole "if you get out of your seat you will be arrested" threat than any real inconvenience.
Eeeee! Ticket booked! Time requested off work! Eeeeee!
Must book hotel room.
