Count Down!

The count down is now in progress! One week and counting. We will be spending our first two days in Washington DC. We did it like that two years ago, with what we called an Amazing Race tour of DC. It will be another Amazing Race tour this year as we are only spending two days there before heading into VA to visit family.
Kim and Sonny are both talking about places they want to go while in DC. Me? I just want to get out with the camera and have FUN photographing anything and everything in DC! Oh and then of course, it will be hurry up and get to VA to hug those precious granddaughters of mine! :-)
Kim got us the hotel in DC. She got a wee bit impatient with me and went ahead and booked the hotel. She booked us at the Phoenix Park Hotel. It's close to a Union Station and the metro so we will be able to get around easily. :-)
We've had several people ask us if we are concerned about our airline - especially in light of three airlines going under, and then the bad customer service reports. I knew without reading the article about the customer service rankings that US Airways and United would top the list. I knew from my own first hand experience of having to deal with them while working at Expedia. Those two airlines always had me pulling my hair out!
So, I'm curious, have you ever had a really bad experience with an airline? If so, care to share the details? Lost luggage, long delays? How about really good service with an airline?

My youngest will be back in port today or tomorrow. I can't wait to talk to him on the phone again ... soon. :-)
Not much else happening around here. Just working and counting down days! :-)

How exciting...I love having something to look forward to. I will be looking forward to seeing the pictures as well. I can't offer anything on the airlines, it has been years since I've flown and unfortunately it was a really bad experience. I haven't been on a plane since. You aren't going to be too awfully far from us when you are in DC ~ planes fly over here like crazy every day heading to BWI so look out your window and if you see buffalo and other crazy animals you know you just passed our farm!!!!

I just love Washington D.C. So much to do there and you need so much time to even attempt to get close to doing it all. Hope you have fun. : )

Having worked for the same company Doug did ... I wholeheartedly agree with his worst airline list!
