I can't believe it!

I'm going to wake up and pinch myself soon, but the facts show that I've bought my tickets to Washington, leaving tomorrow, and I'll be there for a week in the bitter cold. I arrive late in the evening of the 21st - have to find my way from Dulles to the YHA for a night before Kerri arrives the following day. Sunday night is dinner with one of Kerri's old workmates and apart from that I'm free until Friday 28th. Saturday morning I fly out to Los Angeles, where I spend ten hours before getting on my flight home. Probably go for a wander through Santa Monica or something.

I have flights to and from Canberra, and window seats for three of the four big flights, including the two over the US.

I'll do a bit of Bookcrossing in Washington, and maybe see a Bookcrosser or two.

I've got a Washington guidebook, which I will study on the way over, hoping to make some sort of list for things to do and write about.

How cool!! There might still be some inaugural things going on too. I don't know, do they have things all weekend? Anyway, it sounds like a lot of fun.
Be safe and enjoy your trip!

Just missed you

Hope you have a good time there. I just got back from a weekend in Annapolis, Maryland and Washington D.C.

Thanks, Annulla!

All those are on my list.

And I've got some Aussie books for releasing on Australia Day!
