Arlington, VA (USA)
[met up with several other members of our squadron at the NAS Jacksonville at the Air Terminal so we could fly to DC for a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery - Paul H. showed up at last minute - left Jaz at 1200 and arrived at Andrews AFB at 1500 - after landing, I picked up the rental van (from Thrifty) at 1530 and drove everyone over to Arlington - shared room (with John B.) at the Sheraton National Arlington - met for dinner and went to Old Town Alexandria on Metro - realized later that trains run only until around 2300 - after waiting a while at the Braddock Road platform with no activity, we had to get cab to reach the hotel again]
