Thanks again to all who gave me such wonderful lodging suggestions for my week in Washington. I did select the Tabard Inn and enjoyed it immensely: comfortable room,marvelous dining,accomodating staff, convenient location for cabs & Metro, etc. However,I did discover that I am not a share the hall water closet person as I used to be--evidently, my 40th b-day had far more impact on my lifestyle than just requiring reading glasses.
