After jackal's post about the ridiculously high ANC fares these days, I'm glad there is something MR'able out there for you. Welcome :)

I'll figure out the Smithsonian tour schedules soon. Still time to vote on your choice of museums for a Saturday tour.

Re Udar Hazy tour on Sunday:
We don't need a large group, but we do need a few definites to make this happen on Sunday. I want to give the museum folks numbers, etc. 30 days before.
I will find out the earliest time we can start this on Sunday and post back here.
On Sun. I can give a ride for up to 3 (4 in a pinch) persons to and from a metro station TBD on the west or north side of DC if you are flying out of DCA (or even BWI - there is an express bus to there from the Greenbelt metro station.) Obviously, I could also give you a ride directly to IAD from U-H if you need it.

I just realized I never officially added myself to the list. You can count me as a definite for Udvar Hazy on Sunday. I'm a local with a car so i can help out with rides. :)

Add me to the list as this seems to be a very cool DO that is close to home. Even if I do JFK-LAX-DCA to get there :D

NO for Hillwood (only because I go to LIU-C.W. Post and I see Majorie's old mansion here in Long Island EVERYDAY!) Not a local but yes to car. Hertz at DCA has a great reputation so I should be able to secure a very nice ride for all to enjoy.


EDIT: I'm taking advantage of the MEX fare sale. I'll be doing JFK-MEX-SJO on May 3rd and SJO-MEX-CUN-IAD on May 7th so I can make it to the DO!

I am local (in Baltimore) and hope to make some of the events; I never make it down to DC... I would most likely take the train to DC, but I can drive if needed.

If there is space, the Hillwood museum sounds amazing. I have already been to all of the Smithsonian museums.

I just found this! how come I wasn't told??? Anyways, I cannot attend. It's mother's day weekend. Mandatory trip to Puerto Rico.

I thought I had said I was interested in all the happs, although I think I'm just listed for Friday night? Of course I could have having a blonde moment ;) :D

Cheers.

We are in and likely the four or six co-conspirators with whom we had already been planning that visit on that Sunday afternoon. I will let them know that you need to know.

Hey there - you're good - the list on the first page in post #2 is hillwood, local and car - nothing about what you're doing when. That'll be captured when we know place & price and folks are ready to pony up the funds :)

Global_Hi_Flyer Jan 27, 2010 8:25 pm

Put me down as a probable for Udvar-Hazy. Maybe +1. Still working out schedule to be able to attend.

Please count Mrs Cholula and me in on this.

And thanks for handling!

Can't remember, but I certainly meant to sign up for this. Maybe some of us overflow can chip in to rent a car for the day.

dedehans Jan 28, 2010 5:44 am

TribeFlyer Jan 28, 2010 3:47 pm
