Off to a good start

Ok, my trip to DC is off to a good start. My flight was uneventful which is very good because it seemed that the more i fly the more i get scared of flying. maybe it was just the particular planes or something. no turbulence this time around. and the landing was a lot easier too. more experienced crew maybe?
So i get my rental car through National, and they tell me that it is intermediate class, so to walk out to the intermediate sign and pick any car as the keys will be inside. Woot! I saw a bunch of pontiac G6s which aren't all that. basically another neon with a different body. but then i saw a G6 GT. this thing is sweet looking and i'll post a pic asap.
I got to my hotel, just walking in it looked a whole lot better than that rathole i was staying in during the last trip. When i was checking in, i asked if they had any rooms with a fridge. The guy said normally that's an extra charge but since i was staying for two weeks he upgraded me for free. woot!
This hotel also participates in the water conservation program like the one out in california did. If i want my towels changed i just leave them on the floor. if they are hanging on the rack, they'll leave them. and I can leave a hanger on the door to indicate if i want my sheets changed everyday or not. I don't need clean sheets everyday so this is also good.
When i got here the first thing i saw is that there is no snow on the ground which is a nice change from back home. the weather here right now is beautiful so i'm going to try and go get some pictures taken while i can. It is a whopping 35 degrees out and it feels really warm to the 5 and 6 degrees that we've had the last week or two.
