Mike, downtown D.C. is easy to get around. Metro works most of the time, the cab drivers only overcharge tourists, the meter maids are prompt and the streets are safe to walk between the hours of 11a.m. and 11:15 a.m. on Sundays when Mass is over. (It's not as bad as it used to be here in D.C.) < /kidding>

Attire for the Ball will run from Tuxes, ball gowns, business attire to business casual.

Most folks will opt for the cheaper hotels in Northern Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax.)

Once we get the Ball set, we'll be posting as much helpful information as we can about transportation and decent hotel locations.

Bring the wife. You'll have a great time.
