Re: help to get to wash dc

[Guest guest]

Therese, when I went to a conference in DC, I used my Hostelling

International membership to get cheap lodgings. While everyone else

at the con was complaining about high hotel prices, I was paying $11 a

night, and stayed for 2 weeks and spent my money on sightseeing, not

on lodging. All I need is a bed, a shower, and a locker to store my

stuff and I'm happy.

Hostelling is not for everyone, b/c it's not luxury by any means, and

you sleep in a room with a bunch of other people, and there are

communal bathrooms. But on the flip side, you meet a lot of cool

people from all over the world, and the $$ you'd spend on lodging can

go toward other things.

You can become an American Youth Hostel member for about $25,

regardless of age. Visit www.hiayh.org for more info.

Thanks Joe,

I might do that if I can find cheap air fare first. I am 6 months pregnant

though, so I'm not positve about the hostel.

Oh, well that will affect anything. ) Have you checked the WAPF

site lately? Maybe there are other people looking to split the cost

of hotels.
