It's a little more than 24 hours before our shuttles start rolling down to Washington DC to take people to the Inauguration festivities. So far, we have had to rent 3 buses to give us more capacity. The demand has been huge. Lots of people want to go to Washington DC, but there are no trains, buses, or planes with seats left. We're apparently one of the few companies with seats still available to get from New York City to Washington DC for the Inauguration of President Obama.
I'm in DC right now, and the excitement is palpable. I've been in several hotels today, "making the rounds," and everywhere you go there are people getting dressed for their ball. I heard one woman say she was going to a "Soul Food Festival" that one of her old friends is throwing at their house.
The free concert today was a huge success. I haven't heard a count of how many people were there, but it sure looked like several hundred thousand.
Our tours and shuttles have been delayed with all the traffic (mostly pedestrian), but so far it's been better than we expected.
There are plenty of portable restrooms everywhere you go. All of the Smithsonian Museums, the Old Post Office, and the Reagan Visitors' Center are all open, all day, so there won't be any problem finding someplace to keep warm if you plan to be out on the mall all day.
Stay tuned for more information, as it becomes available.
