LOL......one part of the email I didn't copy said that London seemed just like DC, and definitely not like a city such as Honolulu. If the Brits want to come and stay in downtown DC, they should feel right at home and not mind paying a couple hundred bucks for a steak dinner. Plus, they'll avoid suburban McMansions, any hint of Nascar, and won't have to take years off their lives by traveling the Beltway during rush hour. As for muggings, well.....there are no guarantees against that in DC. <<gg>>

Perhaps guests dont want to be treated like criminals at the border by taking fingerprints. All recorded for years in a big nice government database perhaps offloaded for future use without legal restrictions to Quantanamo :( If i don't must i don't want to visit a country where they take my fingerprints. Some conventions are therefore offloaded to old europe.
