Arrived In Washington DC last night after a 10 hour train ride from Charleston, South Carolina. Today I headed to the Fedex Stadium and managed to get a ticket for the DC United v Real Madrid game. The stadium is an absolute beast, there was 72000 there and it only looked 3/4 full at best. It was toasty hot but there is beer flowing all the time in the stadium and you don't even have to get off your ass to get some, it gets brought to you! The first half was ...

I jumped on the first bus that came along and after an hour and nowhere near downtown I started to worry. I spoke to the driver and he said i should have got the 12 bus and not the 10.

The space shuttle Discovery had just been taken out to the launch site earlier in the morning so got to see it almost ready to get it's ass fired into space. The launch isn't for...

I ordered my Amtrak rail pass today and had to head to the rail station to pick it up. I jumped in a cab and asked the driver to take me to the Amtrak station. Since he was driving a taxi I kind of assumed that he knew where he was going, that was until he get out the tomtom.
