Thought about taking in a Caps game but the only game is Thursday and I'll likely be getting out of dodge around 6 pm or so.

I believe the convention center is super close to Chinatown so I'm definitely going to check that out. Unfortunately I likely won't have much time to sightsee (unless the convention is a bust and I sneak away for a bit) but I appreciate the suggestions.

One of my favorite memories attending a National Hockey League regular season match was going to a Caps game in DC when they were playing the Flyers. I was pretty well lubricated, wore my Pens jersey and booed both teams equally. Surprised I didn't end up with a black eye or worse.

First NHL game I ever went to was at the old Cap Centre. Ended up on TV, was fun.

I'm going to be in DC all next week for a conference. I'll be staying by the convention center. Any food recommendations or other general tips would be appreciated.

It's been mentioned in this thread before, but the Old Ebbitt Grill is always a good choice.

Had this today. Thanks for the recommend. I was definitely underdressed but I sat at the bar so I’m just going to pretend like it’s okay. I dug it.

I've been to three or four conventions at the WEW Center...yes, the Old Ebbitt Grill is where it's at.

TIL Vietnam does not have a national uniform power grid. They have like three or four different voltages, and seven different types of outlets.

This is what happens when the Communists win.

American Airlines

thanks to a computer glitch that allowed the airline’s pilots to all take time off en masse between December 17 and December 31, leaving thousands of Christmas-season flights without anyone to pilot them.

American is now offering pilots 150 percent of their usual hourly rate to pick up open trips, and a spokesman promises that all the flights will be covered and the company will “get our customers to where they need to go over the holidays.”

It was very good but honestly my favorite meal has been a sandwich at Smoked & Stacked.

I made the mistake of clicking through to the rest of her articles...you can imagine what they are like:

Spoiler that shiz.

Air Canada will be starting directly flights from Pittsburgh to Montreal starting May, 17th 2018.

Whoo-hoo!

possible trip to Vancouver in March so I'm looking for airfare deals. some of the cheapest so far involve connecting in YYZ and switching to WestJet. anyone here have experience with that airline?

are you in Pittsburgh? Alaskan Air is coming into PGH, could be a cheaper connection in Seattle.

of course they're coming after i pay out the ass for 2 tickets to a Portland NYE wedding

nope, I'm in ATL. Alaskan flies out of here and prices are decent right now but I just want to weigh all of my options.

Home for the next 16 hours.

Adios, dodints.

I heard they boil meat on that flight.

Home for the next 16 hours.

Ooh, I spy an Airbus A350. Let us know how that goes.

Greetings from flight level 340 and 568 knots.

So far Singapore Airlines wins my Best Flying Experience award. Awesome check-in assistance and speedy boarding, and I don't even mind that TSA confiscated my wine key that I forgot was in my toiletries bag.

We're in the first row of Premium Economy, and I have enough room as a 6-footer to stretch my legs out completey straight and have my feet flat against the bulkhead.

I think for lunch I'll have either the seafood tagine with shellfish sauce, or the pan grilled chicken, or maybe the deep fried 5 spice pork.

It's all a blur at this point but I don't think my options were that good on my Qantas flight to Brisbane

Airline seafood tagine on an 16 hour flight? Bold strategy, Cotton.

What the options?

Fish or steak.

Ah yes, I had the lasagna.
