Not much to say here: 4 hour flight, a pilot that wouldn’t turn the seat-belt sign off, & bloody cold in DC on arrival.
Celsius!
Grace did actually squeal:
We’re staying at a hotel called The George (as in Washington). I first stayed here 11 years ago when I was working with Cakytrix. The room seems to have shrunk a fair bit since then, but that might have singeing to do with 2 beds, 3 suitcases, 3 women’s toiletries & makeup, & the 2 women themselves!
The hotel is very near the Capitol & I recall is used by out-of-town politicians… we were reminded of this as we entered the hotel after dinner. We were stared down by some rather large men with Secret Service -like ear pieces and bulges under their arms all surrounding an older gentleman.
