Washington Experience

The Nations Capital

Advantages: Great nightclubs,great food,international city
Disadvantages: Some places(south east DC)are dangerous

Washington DC is the nations capital of the US and it is strategically located in between the states of Maryland and Virginia to form what is called the Washington DC Metropolitan area.You could get into the general area through either Dulles international Airport or the Reagan National Airport.The Reagan National airport is closer to the city and you could catch the metro train to take you downtown.As a matter of fact getting around the whole Washington ...
...want nightlife there are so many places.Just head down towards the Georgetown area and there will be many nightclubs and bars that you could go to especially during the weekends.If you want some site seeing head towards the Washington Mall(great site),the white house and the capital hill building is just aroud the corner.The areas to avoid would be places in south east Washington DC.Do not venture there at anytime except if you are an investigative ...

Washington State! A Love Affair.!!!

Advantages: An intereresting STATE to be in.
Disadvantages: It can be cold and wet! When its hot its HOT

In 1990 I fell in love! corny? not really, I was in love with Washington State, and what a State to be in. Where do I start. In Seattle on the borders of Canada, or by the Columbia River Gorge, on the Borders of Oregon. Yes that is where my affair began. Portland in Oregan. From the Airport in Portland it is just a few minutes drive to Camas in Washington where I stayed with friends for a while. Camas is a really small town on the river, known for ...
...little town, high above the river. with views of Portland on the other side, when at night the lights from this large modern town in Oregon twinkle in a dazzling display of stars hovering over the river, their reflection doubling the display as they bounced off the water. If you look south the first thing you notice is Mount Hood. Looking North West, you see Mount St Helens, which still appears to smoke if there has been heavy rain. Camas, is set ...

washington DC

Advantages: Read opp
Disadvantages: none i can think of

Well now that my reviews for Chicago and Las Vegas have been completed I guess its time to move onto my third stop, don't worry only two more stops after this, in what was an amazing summer. The next leg of my journey took me to the state capital of Washington DC. The roots of American democracy and the political capital of the world. This was actually my last stop before coming back home, however I just felt like writing about this now. I had pre ...
...with American Airlines from Chicago; it set me back about £150, which for a peak time in mid July was not bad what so ever. Having stayed in DC for a week this review will focus more on the sights and places I visited, if I forget to mention the obvious places to see its because I didn't really go their and I therefore don't see the need to mention something I have no idea about. Rather tell the truth than lie, so enjoy. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ...

Washington DC

Advantages: open, much to see and do, quite cheap
Disadvantages: not as many eateries in Washington Monument area

My husband and I visited Washington DC in October 2007, whilst traveling around the States. We stayed for 3 nights, at the Allen Lee Hotel. Washington DC is an interesting city. Its history is in stark contrast to its modern political face and the side that is shown in movies and on TV. What struck me immediately about Washington DC were the open spaces, not just in the parks and at the water front but also when simply walking down the street; it's ...
...Because there was so much to see in Washington DC, we opted for a tour on one of the many open top buses that circle the city and surrounding area. At $39 for a 24hr, hop on-hop off pass, this was a real bargain and the best way to see everything in the city, in my opinion. From the war memorials and Arlington cemetary to the White House and the Capitol Building, everything in Washington DC is awe-inspiring because of its size and power, and also ...

Washington DC Zoo

Advantages: Great array of animals in great enclosures!
Disadvantages: You need a long time time to get round and appreciate it fully!

Wow Washington DC!! My first trip to the States was on business for 4 nights to Washington, wow what a place! There are so many things to see and it is cheap!! My first port of call for the non-business part of my trip was to the zoo, and it is a lovely zoo. Like all the Smithsonian's the zoo has free entry, but that doesn't mean that it is short of animals in impressive habitats. I love Panda's and that was where I headed to start my trip round ...
...a young panda cub, he is 2 years old now and will be returned to China soon, I was so pleased to be able to see this animal close up - very close up! They have different areas in the park, for animals from different countries, which is helpful, and they have large displays by all the enclosures detailing the status of the animals in the wild and what can be done to help many of the endangered species. I was very impressed by the fact that during ...
