There
is no charge to attend the Briefing, however,
attendees are responsible for all travel
arrangements and expenses.
Please
review the following information before making travel plans. We desire
that your entire experience be pleasant and stress free and hope that
these details will be helpful!

DC and Capitol
Hill.

print option for full-page printout.)
AIRPORTS:
Washington
Reagan National (DCA) is the closest airport, located about 15 minutes
from Capitol Hill.
Baltimore Washington International (BWI) and Washington Dulles International
(IAD) are each about 45-50 minutes away. Depending on the cost of airfare,
it may be cost-effective to fly into BWI or IAD and take a cab to DC.
(Factor in a cab fare of about $50 each way.)
*Note:
If departing Washington on Wednesday evening, make sure that plane reservations
are not scheduled for earlier than 7:00PM to avoid missing the conclusion
of the Briefing.
TRANSPORTATION:
Cabs, cabs, cabs!!!
If you are flying in, we strongly recommend that you do not rent
a car. Parking on Capitol Hill is unreliable and can be a nightmare. Fortunately,
taxis are in abundance and the drivers are familiar with the buildings
you will be visiting. These provide a very economical and stress free
way to get around.
However,
if you are driving into the District,
we recommend that you park at Union Station and take the Metro
down to the Capitol South stop (there is virtually no parking around the
Capitol). When you exit at Capitol South, you will be directly behind
the Cannon House Office Building and across the street from the Capitol.
Metro is a fantastic mode of transportation and highly recommended. The
Capitol South stop will deposit travellers at the appropriate location
for then walking over to the House Office Buildings. Click here for Metro
Maps.
AIRFARE:
Please
feel free to contact North Star Travel at 800.397.5657. Many times, they
are able to find reasonable airfare/hotel package deals.
The following are also good sites for booking airfare and hotel:

HOTELS:
It
is very, very important to book hotels
early as area hotels fill quickly, forcing you outside
the city. If possible, stay close to Capitol Hill; we will be gathering
early on Wednesday morning and this will ensure that you are not delayed
as result of rush hour traffic.

following are hotels on or near Capitol Hill; again, www.capitolreservations.com
