The sexy swag of Barack Obama can't be denied. I'm thrilled to finally have a President whose intellect matches his outward packaging! (but after Bush having a President with a functioning brain would be enough). For all of those interested in heading down to DC to celebrate the inauguration I have the road trip of a lifetime for you.Illinois State Rep. Constance Howard (34th District) has organized a road trip down to Washington for the Inauguration. The cost is $150 and includes roundtrip bus fare from Chicago to Washington.
Buses are scheduled to leave Chicago on 1/19/08 at 4p arriving in Washington around 4am on 1/20/08. The inauguration activities will take place on the 20th and departure from Washington is scheduled for later that night...arriving back in Chicago on 1/21/08 around 7am. Since this is a holiday weekend you would only need to take off Tuesday from work. You should get back into Chicago with enough time to make it into work on Wednesday morning...or possibly take a 1/2 day (for all my working folks out there...) Just so you're aware, there is no hotel stay included with this trip as it's merely a road trip down to Washington only for the inauguration. There will be a chance to freshen up as well as eat breakfast once in Washington at the Capital Skyline Hotel.
