Those of us who have reservation should have gotten a couple of messages from the Hilton in Tyson's Corner this morning. If you have a reservation and did not get a confirmation, you might give them a call to check things out. This is the first time I remember getting a welcome from the host hotel, which bodes for a nice stay.

The car was delivered to the shop this AM to top off the 134a for the trip and have the thing "looked over." I put the new hood pad on last night after "finding" my stock of "Christmas trees." Hopefully the car will be done this evening so I can spend the next few days sprucing it up. The humidity has gone down so it should be pleasant to work without air conditioning.

I got an EZ Pass so we can sail through the toll booths. We usually only need them when we go to VA so I haven't gotten one before. (Two out and two back on the WV Turnpike.) We'll be coming "up" I-95 from Richmond so I'm sure they will come in handy, and it's only a two hour drive so we can pick our time to arrive on Wed.

See you there!

Barry,

Not sure if you were able to watch my video on driving to GN.  It is on the "more" icon to top right on website.  It was filmed in one take by my daughter and she edited it down to 11 minutes.  It starts at my driveway and then on to 95 (entering the highway at exit 163) and heading North.  So it reflects the last half hour of driving on the highway, will get you familiar with all the landmarks.

Be sure to plan your arrival for between 10am and 3pm or when it is dark, to avoid rush hour.

Looking forward to it.
