Welcome to Washington DC!

WOW! You should see this hotel room! It makes the Milford Plaza in New York (the one we just left) look like a stinky old hole... We have just arrived at the Melrose in Washington DC. The sign on the back or our door says that this room normally goes for $499 per night! Thanks to Expedia, we are paying about £58 :-)
And to make matters better, I'm updating this blog on the back of somebody's unprotected wi-fi connection, so I don't have to pay the $9.99 that the hotel wants per day :-)
Had breakfast in New York, now just about to go out for dinner and beer in Washington... aren't we just the little jetsetters!
Mind you, we still can't wait to get Charlie Camel back, then the holiday will really begin.
Thinking of you all having a fun filled funky time at Billing... kinda wish we could be there, sort of, in a roundabout sort of way, maybe ;-)

Hi Mates, in missing Billing you missed the biggest mudbath since Glastonbury. It rained then the grass turned to mud, it rained some more, and there was more mud, this was just on friday. Then it rained some more on saturday just for good measure. But I had a great time tell you about it in oh about four months.

$499 *is* about £58 with the current exchange rate isn't it?

Your hotel room is a bit nicer than a damp tent at Billing, and probably a safe distance from Jez's "wodka" too.
