Travel shenanagins part 1 (the icy north)

So, I think that North America is trying to send me a message...That is to say that I'm about to leave for a mild climate/desert country, and what do I get on my travel day? Sub-freezing temps and damn near a blizard in DC. Thanks a lot continent!
Zack and I ventured out to the trainstation this morning at a bracing 6am and got (after a half hour wait) onto the wrong bus. After a 30 minute bus ride to a place we could've walked to in fifteen minutes we got on the right bus and made our way to the metro. The whole time people are looking at me like I'm nuts because I'm riding mass transit in DC with two large packs on. By the time we actually made it to Union station I had missed the deadline to check my bags, and got to lug them around some more....YAY! It was smooth, if really really cold, sailing after that, and I made it to the hotel with no further incidents. That's all for now, I'll try to post later...Much love much respect. Once again, your man in the sand.
