Local tip: You should definitely consider tagging along together with Rehman and going to the Udvar-Hazy.
It's worth the trip out to Dulles, and perhaps may be something worth considering on the morning that you may leave for your flight, if your schedule allows. (The museum is located on the grounds of Dulles airport, but you do not have to drive into the main airport parking, etc., to get there, the entrance is elsewhere.)
I hope a few of you make it out!

Hey.
So anyone planning on going there?
I plan on visiting there hopefully on the 15th before I leave back to Colombo. It's basically the bigger part of the Air & Space Museum which most of us know in DC, and houses the Space Shuttle Discovery (YEAH!), SR71 Blackbird, Gemini 7, the B29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, a Concorde, and tons more.

Let me know if anyone's interested. Haven't planned the transportation route yet. It's located just next to the Dulles airport.
