Holiday Inn.


Holiday Inn's are awesome all over the place. They have a good rep. Also DoubleTree by Hilton (where I stayed in NYC).

As for this 8yr old killer. At 8 I knew what a gun was, what it did and what the consequences would be if I used one. However, I was raised in a time (as a lot of us here were) when parents actually paid attention to you instead of just leaving you to be looked after by the TV.

Holiday Inn in DC is great place to stay - one block from air and space muesum and the rest of hte mall - and behind the hotel is a train station which can take you out to other suburbs for shopping.
also holocaust muesum is a pretty interesting place - very emotional place with staff members who were survivers.

Native american museum is very cool too - and has a great food court.

Combo breaker.

Holocaust museum was freaky, and well worth the visit. Also the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in DC is cool, get to see lots of moneys. Museum of Crime and Punishment is an interesting stop to. Fuck. So many cool places there.

New toy arrived, seems like I am ripping them off for $1300! They must be a loss leader at that price ($2800 rrp)

Going on a road trip tomorrow. Flying over to Canberra today to buy a car off my Dad then driving it back tomorrow.

http://goo.gl/maps/BgacA - 13 hour drive without stops, so bit longer than that.

If you drove one direction for 13 hours in New Zealand, you'll end up in the ocean.

Just back from my road trip. I don't think it was a proper one though. There was a distinct lack of boobies.

Anyway, time for a beer and to catch up on the internet I missed for the last day and a half.

Jump on a plane tomorrow to start 1 of 4 flights home. Apart from getting to spend a month with my lovely lady I have managed to get myself a sweet haul.

New KB + mouse for a fraction of the price they're sold in NZ (and I don't think the mouse is available in NZ).
Awesome new set of DBH shirts.
Suitcase full of confectionary (not for me).
Baconnasie.
New shoes.
A few trinkets that make life easier, including an Aeropress (goodbye shitty French press).

The next obstacle will be staying up for a day to allow my body clock to return to normal so I can start work the day after I get back in the country.

Also looking forward to getting stuck into FFXIV:ARR with Codex <3. PM me your address at some stage so I can send you your Poptarts. I ended up getting the chocolate fudge flavor, shit they were good.

Also, CHEESE PUFFS IN PLASTIC TUBS.
