Fredricksburg is worth a couple of days. The Nimitz museum will take most of a day. Lots of German restaurants , wineries, and pubs as well. Also a wonderful park with a fantastic overlook.
The Nimitz Museum, now called the National Museum of the Pacific War, is a large, fantastic, and moving museum. Extremely high quality exhibits. Not to be missed.
The Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor has been reopened.
I see...I lack North Dakota, Louisiana, and Alaska...guessing Vancouver this fall may be as close as I ever get to Alaska...
I spent eight weeks in Louisiana.
Despite a lack of sleep yesterday we are up at 3 in the morning with no place to go. Just three hours until the breakfast buffet.
Saw some of the Fall Tokyo Sumo Basho yesterday. Interesting and fun. We were too tired to stay for the top flight guys who battle late afternoon. Kokuryu lost his first match in case you are keeping score. Still not time adjusted. While channel surfing caught some of a Yankees Tigers game. With Japanese announcers.
The Japan Times has a great baseball section. And it's in English
I am flying out of Reagan the day before Thanksgiving, with a toddler no less. I am hopeful that, as they have done in the past on holiday weekends, they will have expedited screening procedures.
That would make getting clear worth it
Quoted for the level of sublime humor.
Missus is a frequent (few times a year) flyer to Seattle. I told her --- oops I mean suggested --- to apply to save the "hassle".
I have a TSA known traveler number, 5 years for $85. Clear is $179 a year though there are lots of discounts out there through credit cards and frequent flyer programs. The big advantage to Clear is that you essentially get to cut all the lines, I've never seen any line at a Clear checkpoint. TSA pre lines usually aren't that bad though, I don't think I've ever waited more than 15 minutes. I fly 10-15 times a year.
