Is there something else that we were supposed to do or some other tickets to buy that we would need in order to see the whole thing?

Told you it was awhile since I've visited .... looks like they ditched TicketMaster - Yay!! - and found someone who was more reasonably priced. You're good to go.

We did the same thing. We have reserved tickets for the 2:30 PM entrance on 5/7/10.

Plus we just booked two First Class thrones on the 5/6/10 Alaska Airlines LAX/DCA flight so we're definites when it comes time to commit.

Put me in as a yes since I live here.

This also gives me an excuse to take a mattress run!!!!

Remember to add me as a yes. I can assist in any planning if needed.

I am very interested too. I have a 241 but the old mileage bank is low at the mo - well not quite high enough to meet your usual standard of travel ;)

Please count me in. If I stay with a friend in metro-deficient Reston I will either rent a car or bring her (and her car) along as a plus one.

You can survive at a lower standard for this one trip ... it's so short ;) and it'd be great to see you again.

You don't want to stay out there, it's too far. There really are deals if you look around, try PL and look in VA not just DC.

But my friend has such a great condo and an excellent wine merchant.:(
Okay, I'll fly into DCA and stay nearby on a metro line. Will be much better.

I didn't say don't visit with her, just don't stay out there over the weekend ;)

And you don't even need PL to get a good rate while picking out exactly the location that you want. In my experience, weekend hotel rates are usually very low in VA, especially if you don't mind riding a few extra stops on the Orange Line.

I don't know why I've missed this thead until now, but even more sorry that I'm unlikely to be able to attend what sounds like a very fun weekend due to a work event. :(

The verb "to reschedule" was invented for you! I reschedule, you reschedule, he, she, it reschedules; we reschedule, they reschedule. To say nothing of the past, or those pesky perfect tenses. Just do it!

SPECIAL SATURDAY EVENT - LIMITED SIZE
For the lucky few who get their requests (and money, when it's time for that) in early, we will have a trip up to Hillwood Museum. There a limited number of tickets available, and those attending will head over to the Hillwood Museum in NW DC around 11 am for a tour. This is the estate of Marjorie Merriwether Post and includes lots of fascinating things including a number of Faberge eggs and Russian art. This visit will be a bit more special given gvdIADs patron status with Hillwood which gets us a private tour and perhaps other access. The number of participants is limited however, and will require advance payment. Expect about $45 for tour ticket plus lunch

I'd certainly be interested in participating in this and other events. I'd also be happy to organize a Private group tour of one of the Smithsonian museums (I'm at least a mid-level Contributing Member and set this up at the Air and Space Museum for a previous Do, and we had great fun and our guide was great). This could be either later on Saturday or on Sunday, depending on what works best for the most people.)
