I have two rooms left out of a block of four I secured a month ago; ;-) at the IWO.
Anyone needing lodging, who doesn't mind sharing the room with others Vets, (saves beaghko bucks!) can contact me at Dewey173@Aol.com . This is the way we do it during Rolling Thunder, it winds up costing us like 15 to 20 bucks a night; that's with four to six to a room. Spartan! But everyone gets a shot at the showers, coffee in the morning, and a place to lock up their luggage and to lay their head at night. The 4 rooms I have usually wind up segrated male and female; we filled two already. So we do have 2 rooms left on a first come first serve basis for lowbudget vets who need a place to crash. We flip coins for beds, and we also will have some cots and sleeping bags. Not a money making venture. We all share equally the total bill ... with the GOE rates, at say 90 a night, divided by 6 ... that comes to 15 American $'s a night. ;-) They go fast, so let me know.

There are a lot more people there (Comfort Inn, Van Dorn) from GoE. I know that when I made my reservation more than a week ago the gal didn't understand me to well. She had to check with the manager before I got my $69.00 a nite rate. It does appear that we will be in good company because there will be some RT people there as well as others. To: Redhead Infidel
I just made reservations at the Westin Arlington Gateway for Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday. They honored the "Gathering Of Eagles" prices for all three days? The metro goes straight to the Westin from Ronald Reagan for $8.00 every half hour and the metro leaves just a block from the Westin to the National Mall for a $1.80.

Mark, otherwise you may want to consider Southwest, Raleigh to Baltimore; I'm seeing @ $230 roundtrip, which should be competitive with fuel. You may also find a special fare, but I'm attaching a link to their Schedule page.

You might also try this hotel across the street from the Dunn Loring Metro Station, west of DC: Courtyard By Marriott Address: 2722 Gallows Rd, Vienna, VA 22180 Phone: (703) 573-9555
Cross the street from the hotel, get on the Metro. The train is a no-brainer because the station only has the Orange Line. Take the train on the right side of the platform. If you take the wrong train on the left side, no worries. There is only one more stop west on the line, Vienna, and the train will bounce back the other way you should have gone anyway, losing fifteen minutes. It's about a thirty minute ride downtown. Ride the train all the way to Federal Triangle and get off next to the Smithsonian. This is a bit longer to walk but easier to find your way. If you are feeling adventurous, get off at the Foggy Bottom, walk south down 23rd St to Constitution Ave, cross Constitution and hang a left past the commie rally area, turn 115 degrees right on the far side of Henry Bacon Drive, walk about fifty yards and see the Wall on your left. This is a shorter route, but easier to get lost.
