flying into the new Air and Space Museum

I would NOT suggest walking! The roadways are not designed for foot
traffic. Are you attending the press preview? If so, look me up, I'll be
there all day.

Hawthorne quoted me $10.96 for landing and $20 a day for parking, with

When I checked the situation for the press preview tomorrow, I found a
couple of motels that offered transportation to the airport, and one
that offered complimentary transport within 3 miles, which would have
sufficed.

I even thought of walking--the distances aren't vast--but a friend who
lives and works in Edge City discouraged me, on the grounds that there
might be no sidewalks. The Rt 28/50 intersection, he says, he is a
highway overpass. The museum is to the west of that intersection and
most (not all) of the motels are to the east or north.

No, I gave up when it appeared that a) the shuttle from NASM isn't
running and b) it was scheduled for two hours, mostly speeches from
Important People. (But I guess from your post that I was wrong and
that it is actually open all day?)

Never mind! I am now going down the week of January 5, Does the
shuttle bus run every day? Is the weekend (specifically Saturday Jan
10) likely to be especially busy?

Well, I'm at work all day. I think the official agenda said it should wind
down earlier. I doubt they would throw a press person out :-)

I THINK the shuttle will run everyday, but I'll know more later. I'm going to
guess that everyday from now to Jan. 5 will be busy and the weekends are going
to be busy for a while. There are no special events (that I know of) planned
for the 10th. Feel free to send me email here or at nasm. Use my last name
followed by m with nasm.si.edu
