Wyndham Garden Gaithersburg

... Amusingly in the toilets there were funny quotes and errors that had been made in the written media. There was electronic copies of the days front pages from all fifty states and some international newspaper (including, rather amusingly, the Southend newspaper). For dinner we had decided to meet up with my cousin, Sandra, for dinner in an area of DC called Georgetown. This is a beautiful part of town where most of the ...

... made our way to the Rhino and met up with the majority of our group for a few more drinks before Todd ordered a heap of taxi's to take us to another bar called Madam's Organ, located in Adam's Morgan!! Confusing much?? It turned out to be a pretty cool bar, especially as the bouncers turned a blind eye to the under-21's in the group! The beers were served in weird honey-pot type glasses, but that didn't bother anyone. This was also the only place on my ...

... Horse and Rushmore, then head east over the Badlands for Sioux City. Flight plan: KRAP - KSUX. From KSUX, pick a point pretty far east so we could make Gaithersburg the next morning. We were being stalked by the storms we outran around Billings, so we needed to stay a bit ahead. On departure from Rapid City (KRAP), we couldn't fly direct to the monuments because of a rain storm over the Hills. Fortunately, it was moving eastward at 20 kts ...

... past week at an evening event to raise awareness amongst the latino community about going to college. The event was through Hispanic Scholarship Fund Initiative, one of the places I interviewed at for internships and then turned down :-P It was fun and a little boring. I chatted it up with some people, of course all in english because everyone things the blond gringa doesn't speak any spanish. Although it was fun to respond to people in spanish, especially to the one guy who ...

... than putting on a hat after walking around in the winter time. We visited the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and found out inside that today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The museum was surely the most detailed of its type that I had been to, offering movies, staged replicas of scenes, and actual equipment from the death camps. We headed over to the old post office again for lunch and took a few minutes to visit the top of the bell tower. I was ...

... trimmings(Result!!). Driving around New York was a daunting task but after 1 million honking horns and ******** comments from cabbies I started enjoying it. It was time to leave New York. Not a bad thing. Don't get me wrong I really like NY but I don't like staying too long in one City (too easy, too expensive and too addictive and tempting to stay). So at early afternoon I headed past New Jersey (popping into Tony Soprano's gaff for some Taglioni and Meatballs ...

... I had forgotten to bring any hairbrushes! So hair was au naturel (read: fly-away, frizzy, etc.). We were able to stay awake till dark at around 8 p.m., but by 8:30 we were sawing logs. Of course, I started waking up at 1 a.m. and woke up every hour on the hour thereafter, until I finally gave up and got up at 5 a.m. But my back didn't hurt, so it was a good bed for an old, 1960s-vintage hotel. We were on the fourth floor, but on the west side of ...

... odds,huh? And you know what else? She is going to Europe with her friends on Thursday. A week before she had set out across the country in a car with another friend of hers who is starting a job in Monterrey. Now she is flying back to the East Coast. I guess Europe is going to be just full of Americans, which I don't really mind actually. I like Americans. Well all I can say about that flight is thank God they actually had a good movie on.
