Update: Well I've been in the US for close on 24 hours now and I'm having the best of times: the sun is out, breakfast was huge, the beer last night went down well and everyone I've met has been great. The only downside so far was the 2 hour journey through immigration, the officer who took my details was a nice guy, but the fact remains that the US government now has my fingerprints and photo on record!

Well, welcome to the good ole US of A . Hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip. (First time poster) Have really enjoyed your site and efforts and consider you a friend. (Hope that doesn't creep you out too much. Ha.)

You're going to DC? That's kool. Alabama is much better, but hey, I like DC, too. Just make sure you:
1. Don't eat McDonalds(as stated above)
2. Don't go into those little T-shirt shops they have everywhere. Some aere funny, but most a rip-off.
3. Whatever the guy says, they AREN'T Oakleys.
4. try to look for some of the on-the-roof secret security people. It was fun doing that last time I went.
5. have fun!

Have a safe journey!! (love your site!)
:-)

Hmmm .. I wonder how you got off the no-fly list :P

I'm sure LazyLaces will be added to some NSA database now

Just kidding .. enjoy your trip !

We'll miss ya! have fun and take care :D

WALKTHROUGH

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

And whatever anyone tells you, Potomac Mills Mall sucks ass outlet wise. Though it has gotten better since they renovated last year. Have fun in DC!

O, I can't believe no one has invited you to stay over at their place while you're there.
Looks like you'lll have to book yourself a hotel anyway ><

Have Fun!

Come to the M-i-a, it'll be fun.

Hi Graeme,
If you stop by NYC, just send a mail and the first rounds are on me (I guess you would have mentioned it if you were going to visit NY but just in case...).

Safe travels and God speed, Graeme! And I hope you have time to have a bit of fun while you're here.

As for the McDonalds comments, I eat there fairly often and I'm perfectly healthy! Um, as long as there's a defibrillator nearby.

Graeme,

Welcome to my neighborhood! DC isn't as bad as some make it to be. I actually live in Northern VA and this is a great time of year to visit our Nation's Capital. Hope you have a great trip!

See the monuments at night, all lit up ... and the Archives ... and the American History Museum, and Air and Space Museum ... and the Einstein Statue, and the WWII Memorial, and the Vietnam Wall ... too bad the Portrait Gallery is closed for renovations until July ...

Hea Gramme, pop on up to Maine and stop by the Auburn American Legion, I'll be behind the bar, you qualify for a free drink for the person that traveled the most to get to us darlin!!

Or you could come all the way to Colorado, (nowhere near where you will be) and go on a giant hike up Pikes Peak.

i really hope you like it here in DC... actualy technically i live in Maryland... but whatever

if you have a layover in ohio, gimme a ring. all drinks on me. have a great time in our capitol. or at least try. it's rather boring for my taste.

Isn't D.C. IN Maryland? Because I used to live like 15 minutes away almost two years ago...Anyway, McDonald's isn't that bad, you just have to be careful how much of anything there you eat, and I'm sure Graeme already knows about this since I'm also pretty sure they have McDonald's there lol. Graeme, some really good advise...Don't get caught in the belt way! You'll lose precious sight seeing hours! It's almost like there's no end to the dreadful thing TT__TT

McDonald's.... uuuugh. Mommy, get the slimy chicken away. I don't want to have to look at it anymore.

Seriously, though, have a good trip. Personally, I can't stand DC. Traffic > Entertainment. So if you get bored, come to NY.

I hope the person who said taking the train is better was joking. It reminds me of my friend talking about those idiot train questions on tests. "If a train to Dublin left at 5:00, going 70 miles an hour." "Um. Dublin?" "Why? Where's Dublin?"

No D. C. is not "in Maryland." It is it's own separate "district," not part of any state. However, the land used for the city was contributed mostly by Maryland.

Interestingly, the people who live in D. C. proper don't get to vote for Congressmen. But they do pay taxes. Whatever happened to "No taxation without representation"? Go figure.

walkhthrough lol, thats genious.





Have great/safe trip!!~!

[QUOTE]3. Whatever the guy says, they AREN'T Oakleys.[/QUOTE]

LMAO!! Good tip...I remember that the last time I went to DC.

Hey Graeme. Have a nice flight! I was just in D.C. a couple of weeks ago. It's great, all the museums are national institutions which means it's FREE! One thing you MUST do while there is go to the National Zoo early in the morning. The pandas are there and you can skip the crowds by going before 8.00 or so. Near the Zoo, by the Omni Hotel, is the best diner you'll ever find. It's called Open City. Superb chai tea and the friendliest staff around!

Well, I don't mean to sound creepy or like a guidebook. Remember to have fun in our grand capitol!

Loved the walkthrough, Toonafeesh. Graeme have a great time!!! Hope you enjoy our Capitol! I haven't been back to D.C. in 20+ yrs. Have fun!!!

su: DC liscence plates actually say "taxation without representation." lol.

Have fun Graeme, EAT MARYLAND STYLE CRABCAKES! They are delicious, and there is no comparison to anything you find in the UK, trust me I've looked. Enjoy the late hours of the bars as well, as 24-hour drinking in London is a myth; at least DC doesn't close till 3 am.

Have a great trip Graeme, hope it's a vacation rather than work. Or has The Shrub realised your genius and called you in to work on a strategy to raise his standing in the polls? If so, remember to "Just Say No" :-)

hi Graeme! well, you're gone by now, so maybe Welcome Back Graeme!

personally, i like the American Museum of Natural History.(obviously natural history is better when it's American!)

have fun, don't drink the water, don't make bomb jokes in the airport, and don't vote for Bush. oh, that's right, most people didn't.

Well, you're probably already here, Graeme. Have a good visit. Just when crossing the street, look to the left first or you may lose a limb. Too bad you're not visiting NYC. Safe home.

I hope you die.

i love gay bum sex.

ooooooooh i live in DC!! well to be honest, it's actually maryland for me too, but i live about two blocks from the border. on top of what everyone else has said, i love the national cathedral (it has a stained glass window commemorating man going to the moon and a Darth Vader gargoyle on the outside!!) and the basilica of the national shrine of the immaculate conception (it has a mosaic about creating life that includes bits of DNA in the image). they both look way too new to rival the European cathedrals and basilicas, but they're still very impressive to me and very interesting with those modern twists they've got.

Hi Graeme! Thanks for creating and maintaining such an outstanding site. I've enjoyed it for quite some time. I hope you enjoy your trip to the US. Lots of stuff to see in DC. There's also a new Air and Space Museum near the Dulles airport. If you're out that way, be sure to drop by JR's steakhouse for a very outstanding steak (http://www.jrsbeef.com) too. You'll want the aged, marinated one (my mouth is watering just thinking of it). As one guy said above, be real careful about crossing streets. Unlike England, we don't have reminders of traffic direction (saved my butt a couple times) painted on the road.

haha, kinda bad for a priest to misspell god, that was funny (sorry priest, i hope your lord forgives you :)

good good hope you put more games up on monday 22/05 unless i will be very disapointed

hope you have a nice flight and so on so forth it is my birthday on monday tht's why if you wondered

fyi

The term for a town or city that serves as a seat of government is spelled capital. The term for the building in which a legislative assembly meets is spelled capitol.
