Actually it was a special case, the day before it took just over an hour and a quarter. The issue was there was a very bad accident on part of I-66 where there was no place to bail, and all the lanes were blocked off. Unfortunately we were about a half mile behind the accident and completely

Cam, Tyson's Corner *will* have good metro access once it's completed, right now it doesn't, the Silver Line extension doesn't open until next year. Your best shots for hip and fun are either stay in the Dupont Circle area, there's a gazillion restaurants..and night clubs or Old Town Alexandria,

You know what - it's actually Dupont Circle that I meant to say. Silly me, I'm not in DC much and got them mixed up. So - sounds like I'm looking in the right spot. -Cameron On Tue, Aug 14, 2012 at 12:01 PM, Scott Stewart webmas...@sstwebworks.comwrote: Cam, Tyson's Corner *will* have good

still you'd probably want the Dupont Circle area. Better to walk to the conference from a short distance than get lost on the Metro. On Tue, Aug 14, 2012 at 11:28 AM, Larry C. Lyons larrycly...@gmail.com wrote: Still a pedicab in the DC area during the summer is a great way to tour the area.

Also one issue I do have is that it is in DC. I really don't want to have to commute into the District, and the hotels around the area are expensive. That said just looking at things I may be able to use the VRE and metro (shudder!). On Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 3:15 PM, Cameron Childress

it looks like I'd be able to leave the VRE and get one of two different metro lines to the nearest metro stop from the conference. This may be quite doable. I'll also have to check whether any want to share a hotel. On Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 3:23 PM, Cameron Childress camer...@gmail.com wrote: I
