Making plans for the USA!
Now that my ticket is booked, I need to start preparing for what I'm supposed to do and see whilst I am in the USA. There are the obvious things, such as doing some sightseeing. Alexandria is very close to Washington D.C., so I'm definitely going there, to see some stuff. The United States Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, The White House and the Washington Monument are all on the list. I'm also going to do some local sightseeing around Alexandria.Then, it's time to figure out what places to eat. I figure, that seeing I'm gonna be in the land of fast food, I'm gonna visit a few and try them out. Wendy's, Popeye's, Five Guys and some other chains that I might find. I'd also love to go to a restaurant.
I'm also going to go to a department store, just to check it out and possibly find a bargain.
Over the next few months, I'm gonna get a more detailed plan together. Will I stick to it? Probably not, but it doesn't hurt to have one

WENDY'S ? .5 GUYS ?!?!
... DON'T FORGET YOUR OTHER BLOG
AND THAT HEALTH THING YOU WERE GOING ON ABOUT.
My favorites were Ford’s Theater...Lincoln Memorial...(It is huge in person), The Holocaust Museum, and Arlington National Cemetery.
Do not waste your time doing the White House tour....It is going through much security clearance to see First Lady dishes and silly things.
If you can...go on a night tour on one of the charter buses....It is so gorgeous at night...And, I will never forget the seeing the Vietnam Veteran Memorial Wall at night....It was so sobering watching the people tracing the names of those they knew on that wall...
It is not a safe place at night....in fact, we would joke that everyone got out of dodge at dark..and, that was 21 years ago....why I say take a charter bus..The one we used dropped us off at the front door to our hotel at the end of the tour.
I would love to go back one day...when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.

I have taken note of your suggestions, so they are going on my list :)
Coolest thing that happened....We had visited the Capitol....my husband left his cell phone when going through the security check...He did not notice until we got back to the hotel later that night...He called a number we found and the person who answered said it was found...We could come by that night..We took a taxi and he met us at a side entrance....
He took us up an elevator that was for the Senate and we got to go in and look around...
Such a nice guy....there were pictures of Capitol police officers who were killed when a mentally ill man shot and killed them...
I am sure there is much more security now...This was before 9/11....

Join Tic Toc a month or so before you go and you are sure to meet many young folk of your age. At least then you can see and hear if they are mentally stable or not
Why TT? Well on tic toc you can visually assess the people who you choose to meet etc and interact with once you are there on vacation.
As I said this is just an idea.
A stranger is just a friend you do not know.
