Subscribed. I'm planning a vacation at the moment to visit DC in the next few weeks. Any recommendations are welcome. I want to get there before schools are out and the real vacation season starts. Or, does it make any difference?
I'm a complete travel novice. I really don't even like to travel or vacation, but I figure I might as well see our nation's capital while I still can. The Holiday Inn looks to be right smack in the middle of things.
For one day, I'd like to rent a car and drive out into the countryside. Seahawk, I might take you up on your previous offer.

I thought I'd stay Sunday through Saturday sometime in late April or early May.
I don't mean to hijack the thread, but any info might benefit procon, too. He's a lot closer than I am!
