Starting Over

I haven't blogged in a while, and  thought I would start up again. I feel very rusty!  I haven't been out doing genealogy in a long time. Research trips have been few and far between.  I 'm looking  to take research trips on a "shoestring budget."  Don't want to bust my budget.  I've got a few brick-walls that only some out-of-town research will solve.

I am lazy, because, when I get somewhere to research-I hate taking buses....rather take a cab..but that eats up the budget.  Wanting to go to Washington DC when warmer weather comes, so I am doing some advance research via the computer and library.  What would we do without Google?   I am going to get in touch with a genealogical society in Washington DC on advice about places to stay, eat, and park. Any ideas?

Dirt cheap airline tickets are a thing of the past. However, I think starting early does give you a chance to explore Web-only fares, vacation packages and other good deals. I  was told to book on a Tuesday or Wednesday, when fares tend to be cheaper.

Also, how does a gal get all her clothes into a carry-on bag, and all the genealogical junk too..........?

Hey!!!!! maybe I should just get a paid researcher-but then, it would not be as much fun!!!!!!
