Starwood included in my e-statement a very nice special for the DC Westins $139 plus breakfast and 1000 starpoints bonus. The Westin Embassy Row would be perfect for any Platinums attending the DO:

Go to Hilton Web site to check all of them out if you can still change your reservations.
Washington, D.C. area
Hilton Crystal City at Ronald Reagan National Airport $68-$143/Night June 28-July 1
Hilton Arlington and Towers $75-$249/Night June 25, June 27-July 1

Just a note: that crystal city/DCA Hilton is a former Doubletree and I've held meetings there....dont expect much! And that Hilton on Embassy Row has some pretty retched rooms, too, i hear....but i've always gotten suites there, so dont know from personal experience...

Thanks!

If no one has plans for Saturday afternoon the 29th, I'll probably be going to either Tony & Joes or Sequoia's on the waterfront; I think those are the names, i'll find out for sure...
...Anyone interested just post or email me. More details as it gets closer.

Doc, sorry to leave you out. I am glad you can make it.
By the way, folks, I have rescheduled my lesson that was supposed to take place Saturday. It's supposed to be eight hours bottle to throttle minimum, and I shoot for 12. With you guys in town, a 10:00 AM lesson doesn't seem like a good idea.
