Hi All,

i'm trying to get into the hotel a night earlier, and get United to change me (although with the 15A upgraded seat in the upper deck, i'm not giving that up for fireworks - i *do* live in Washington, DC, after all and we have some pretty cool fireworks here once a year ;-)

But seriously - if I can't make it a day earlier, I normally arrive around 8:30 am to the hotel, and after a quick trip to the gym and a shower (and a flat white or two) I'm good to go. So lunch/dinner/drinks is fine. There's a fun little bar on the harbour called Cargo we could meet at if that works...?
