Planning a Trip to Washington

[robkelk]

Fate should be arrested for conspiracy.

But then you'd have to arrest Nanoha, too.

I'm getting obsessive about this now, checking and doublechecking all the obscure things that can go wrong. So something simple will barf up instead. Always happens... it's the wonder of travel. I've never actually done international travel like this. Can't help but feel like I'm forgetting something but I don't know what that something is. Maybe it's just a healthy paranoia.

Do you have a wallet card listing how to contact your next of kin? You shouldn't need it, but just in case...

Thanks for the advice on the money.... I'll have a few hours in JFK to spend waiting on a connection so I can take care of that there.

I just remembered: the USA still has $1 and $5 bills. (They have $1 coins as well - I actually have one - but I understand those aren't too popular.) You might want to get a few fives for tips. If you have any left over at the end of your trip, take one home as a cheap souvenir.
