[QUOTE=B L Swagger]Hey guys,
I usually post on the Huntsville, AL board but have had occassion to post here, once or twice when I was in town. So here is the deal: Early next month I will have a 7 hour layover at Dulles after a 14hr international flight. Can anyone recommend a cheaper motel/hotel close to the airport where I could check in in the early a. M. , grab a shower and possibly find some SW or escort action close by? Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]Although you have a seven hour layover, I don't think thats enough time to leave Dulles, check into a hotel, monger, and then get back to Dulles, through security and catch your plane. You still have to get through immigration, which at Dulles can be a 30 minute ordeal or 90 minute depending on when flights come in and how many people they have working.
I fly internationally fairly often and through Dulles, and the time from plane-to-plane has gotten longer, especially now that you have to leave security and go back through domestic security.
If you are intent on doing this, I would say rent-a-car w/ GPS, hit an AMP downtown DC. This way you'll get a happy ending and a quick shower/massage which should refresh you for the rest of your trip. It also depends on when you get into town. If its during rush hour, I would say give up on the idea. If its late morning or around 1:00 p. M. , its doable.
