Where to stay & how to get around in Washington, D.C.
Staying at the Courtyard Arlington Rosslyn was a good decision.

Breakfast in an igloo by the Thames
BA972 from LHR to HAM We decided to spend the Saturday in London. Since it is fairly irrelevant from where we work on Fridays plus we can always visit our offices around the globe, we had the chance to stay for the weekend. I did a little research for a nice breakfast place in London…
