This is a first!

On Sunday I will fly to Washington, DC! All ALONE!!! This will be my first trip without kiddo or wife since 2001! This will be a whole new experience for me.

And why am I going? Well, the initial motivation came from the fact that Julius has a week off in November and I was looking around for stuff to do with him ...



and the other factor was Jon Stewart's "Rally to restore sanity" ... as an avid Daily Show fan I was pretty intrigued what it would be like to go there.

So, the idea was born that I would go with Julius, but after some further family discussions Ritsu suggested I should go by myself (in her own words "[...] this trip of yours is kind of like a 'bonus' as you take care of the house and J all the time...") and now I am going alone, a week earlier.

I am looking forward to eating typical American food again (hello Hooters, here I come), meeting my old DJ pal Christine, who hopefully will show me some of the clubs, maybe I even get to do some trick or treating (though I am flying back on Hallowe'en) , then of course there is shopping ...

Well, we shall see. Since I know that blogging all after one week leads to chaos (i.e. the Nepal trip), I collect all my thoughts for now here in a more or less orderly fashion, and only open to the few people I will give the link .. and when I am back it will be added to the main blog.
