I'm here. Our room is wonderful. It's TWO rooms, for 60 dollars a night. Where is the catch? I don't see the catch. I guess the catch is the 20 minute drive to the subway tomorrow. *crosses fingers*

Yeah, we're at 1 washington circle, and the hotel is toally bitchin and it's about 1 mile from the Licoln Memorioal and there is a KITCHEN and a BALCONY! and it's only 155/nt. We booked it about 2 seconds after Join Stewart's announcement and so we got it cheeeeep. :twisted:

Yesterday we went to Panda Cafe (chinese food) and had Sushi which was really good and for some reason the beer was only $2 a bottle! Beer in a restaurant in Canada is at least $6/bottle.

TODAY, JUST TRIPN, ENTERPRIKAYAK, ELESSAR, STARWATCHER, AND PRISOCISOR ARE MAYBE GOING TO LOOK AT THE ENTERPRISE! THE ACTUAL ENTERPRISE! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Hopefully there will be an INCREDIBLY COOL PHOTO OF US IN FRONT OF IT.

*stay tuned*

It was wonderful! With both Ellie and Jennifer, one thing we don't have to worry about is awkward silence. Our visit sounded like 5 people talking all at the same time for two hours straight. :)
