Thanks, so I was correct on Boyd and Susan, but it seems that they now have daytime trolley tickets for Thursday that they may not want? I wonder if those can be converted to the night time tour. I will still plan to do that with the Texas folks, and Denise's brother/girlfriend, and Boyd and Susan (including dinner).

The Wednesday night deal. I'm planning to take the Garls, Sapienzas, and Arnolds. Depending on traffic, I will have a limited ability to stop for photos. However, I'm 100 percent willing to drop you off, circle a few times, and pick you back up. No problem at all, but there is very limited (in most cases, none) parking near the monuments. But I'm pretty well versed in how to get you close and get back around. bp

ZAPPY! (And all).... I'm super excited about all this Spy stuff, too! And you will love the Spy Museum. That is right in my neighborhood where I work. Right across the street is the National Portrait Gallery. Worth going in if only for five minutes to see the beautiful inside courtyard which is covered by decorative glass. bp

I'll give Boyd a call in a little while & see what we need. At first I had both daytime & Moonlight tickets ready to order, but then the 3 of us changed our minds, because it looked like most were taking the hoho tour. Is it busy this time of year? I'm just wondering if tickets can be purchased the day of boarding? Boyd is in PA he'd be an hour ahead of us. I have a boat coming @ 8am for a small lettering job. I'll give him a call once the boat is gone.

Also for your touring information the orange line runs clockwise and you can see the stops here to help plan your strategy:

Accuweather is calling for possible rain on Thursday so you may want to pack
an umbrella or poncho. We found cheap ponchos at Big Lots last night.

The RED line (that is included in your HOHO) is a trolley that goes to Arlington and you pick it up close to Lincoln's
Memorial.

Got the house picked up a little more today. Guy's gonna finish the bathrooms tomorrow. Got the sub platters all picked out for the tower party at the draglist nats! Checked again on arrival times for our Lone Star visitors. Talked to inductee Eli Patrick and sent Royce a few updates for his bio, then went to the drag lists and updated all the Purvis Ford pro stock entries based on the info. And... hit 199 pounds today so I have a good, low baseline to get back to for all the overeating we will do next week! :wink: bp

I talked to the feline a few days ago and he told me you had his litter box all
freshened up. I will take another side by side with Sharon and you for your
website. We are packing tonight and the SS White Pearl will set sail at noon
on Tuesday. Praying for calm seas, full sails, no Highway Patrol, and good gas
mileage for our journey to Wonderful Waldorf (bpland). We can't seem to stop talking
about this vacation and how happy we are to be able to get to meet everyone. :D

Ok, my head is spinning after trying to catch up for what I missed the last couple days! Getting sooooo excited to see all the DC sites, the huge bash at our host's house and being spoiled at the track on Saturday!

I purchased our HOHO trolley tickets the other day but I have a question for those of you who have already purchased yours too....did you only get one barcoded ticket? I was expecting to get one ticket per person but mine says it's good for 2 adults. Just thought it was kind of weird since they asked for the names of those I was buying the tickets for but then only one name is on it. :roll:

Yup I just got 1 bar code ticket too. It looks like all the people have to be with the ticket holder, get on with the ticket holder & the ticket holder has to provide I.D. and or Credit Card. But then I may be all wrong too, it happens.
