Well I got the Comfort Inn Tysons Corner for $68/night this time around. It's a few miles away, but the closer hotels were a lot more expensive.

It's also known as "bite your ear off corner" in honor of Iron Mike, but that's a different topic. The hotel home page is at http://www.comfortinn.com/ires/en-US...fo?hotel=VA282. Looks like it's about 6 miles away, but easy access to GMU straight down Rte. 123.

Well, the only thing I can say to myself is... "pay attention". I thought this was a hotel reference for Nat's. Sorry for the intrusion... but thanks anyway for the prompt response.

You can come for Colonies Zones too! It's just a short flight from Oakland or SFO.

I think Jim heard about your prowess in the BR TJ...so he wants to avoid any unpleasant confrontations...


O yeah, I'll be at the Mariott Courtyard...nice hotel.

I'm pretty sure that we can't be friends James. It's the avatar and the signature. Sorry! I'm a Padres fan first and foremost (remember the '98 WS?), but I'm also a closet RedSox fan (married into it)!
