Oh, it's going to be so exciting! It's been about 13 years since I've flown.
Jammerlich and I are definitely going. Wishingstar and Obsidian said they are going for sure. We're arriving on Fri. Aug. 31 and leaving Mon. Sept. 3.
Anyone else want to join us?

Glad you're going Deneb. Just get a good hotel in the right part of town. Busy place. Love Phillipa

I love D.C. Since it's Labor Day weekend, you might want to check out what will and will not be open. It would be a bummer if the only day you can visit sights/exhibits is the day you arrive.
I don't know ... but maybe preparing that ahead of time could help planning.
Enjoy! Even spending an afternoon on the "mall" with a picnic lunch and a frisbee or kite flying is lots of fun.

Oh, I hope you go KK! It's so exciting! You know, I haven't flown in 13 years! I hope things settle down on the homefront for you. I'll understand if you can't make it, but I'll miss you!
I just hope it won't end up being just me and Jammer. I love Jammer, that's not the issue, but I'm afraid it won't be much fun for Jammer with just boring me!
Ooooh, I can't believe I'm going! Woohoo!

I hope I haven't made a bad decision. I'm getting worried because so far only Jammer is definitely going. Jammer and I bought plane tickets at the same time.
Wishingstar and Obsidian said they were definitely going, but I haven't heard from them.
Now I find out I have no roommate. I'm spending a lot of money here. (A lot of money for me, I only make $1000 a month). I'm not such a fun person, I don't think I'll be good company for Jammer.
I'm not sure what to do. Did I make a big mistake?

I'm worried. I don't like this. I also hear that D.C. has a high crime rate. I wish I didn't feel this way. I hate this. I want to have fun. I'm afraid I won't have fun.
I'm going to spend a max of $1500 on this trip. That's a lot of money to not have fun with. :-(

Sorry to post 4 posts consecutively, but I had to let people know I'm OK now. I don't want anyone thinking I'm still upset when I'm not anymore.
OK, I freaked out. I'm OK now.
I took a propranolol and read some good reviews of the hotel I'll be staying at and I feel much better now. If it's just Jammer and me, that's perfectly OK with me. It'll be an adventure. There's lots to see in D.C.
Also I shouldn't freak about the money thing because yes it's a lot of money, but I also haven't gone on a trip this year so it's justified. This is probably the only trip I'm taking this year and I don't think one trip per year is too much.
I think it will be a good experience for me. I'm looking forward to it. :-)
Nice and calm now.

Trust me on that. And all the museums are free, so you don't have to worry about spending money when you see them. And right now I have no plans for that weekend, so I may be able to meet you guys and give you a little tour. If you have any questions about DC, just ask.
