Trip Report KIS to WAS

[joelkfla]

On 98 now on the way to Washington. Plans include the recently reopened Air and Space Museum, the Washington Monument, Ford's Theater, the Udzar-Hazy Center, and maybe Mount Vernon if I can fit it in. Lots of time will be spent on transit because Washington Metro has reduced service to every 24 minutes on most lines this weekend, and truncated several lines thus requiring extra transfers.

98 was only 10 minutes late out of Kissimmee, but then we spent about 20 minutes waiting south of Orlando for both a SunRail and a southbound Silver to pass. I guess that knocked us out of our slot, and by the time we got to DeLand we were 50 minutes behind schedule. Cruising at 78 mph now on the way to Palatka.

I need to do a full write-up. Came home with COVID, so I've been doing a lot of sleeping in my Lazy-Boy.

Rest and get better! The write-up can wait.

The opening of the Silver Line makes a trip to Udvar Hazy more practical for the trips where I don't bring my car. Is that how you got out there?
Also, best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. The city has a van parked about a block from me for testing, and an immediate consult and supply of Paxlovid if you pop positive. So far so good.
