Woke up at 11 am because of all the boozing that I indulged in the previous night.

Things done so far:

1. Printed the boarding pass and checked in online
2. Booked shuttle service to take me to the hotel
3. Printed a DC metro map
4. Made my bed
5. Took out the suitcase that I’ll be carrying
6. Made the important decision of not checking in any baggage. There are too many lost bags and flight delays during the holiday season as it is. Best to travel light.
7. Piled up the clothes that need to be washed.
8. Made a mental note of the clothes that I want to carry
9. Spent an obscene amount of time on Twitter..
10. Spent hours watching CNN.

Things still need to be done:

1. Do my laundry
2. Book a city tour trip, maybe. Will decide in the evening.
3. Actually pack my bags
4. Wash all dishes and clean everything else before leaving tomorrow morning
5. Charge camera batteries
6. Delete old pics from my SD cards
7. Decide whether just boots will be enough or if I should carry a back up pair of shoes too
8. Decide which_ desi_* restaurant to visit tomorrow

*desi- common word used to denote anything “Indian” in the US.

And yeah, call up tomorrow morning to check if the flight is on time. Then park the car at some parking lot near the airport and reach the airport on time. Last time, I almost missed my flight because I couldn’t find the parking lot which I had looked up online.
