I can't bring myself to call it Reagan, either. :P Glad the trip was uneventful, but sorry you have to schlep all the way out there in the first place.
Given how unpleasant airports are these days and how they're the first and main bastion of petty tyrants in uniform, I'm finding that name to be the curse of expectation...
The people of northern Virginia, where the airport is actually located, were not the least bit inclined to rename the airport after Reagan. (And I'd expect the majority of DC residents would be even less inclined.) I wonder how Republicons would feel about outsiders renaming their facilities after Lyndon Johnson, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr, or Malcolm X?
It's not a bad place to visit. It's HOT (so maybe this isn't the season to visit?). The plants are interesting (and somewhat different from Tucson), and some are in bloom now. The main drag our hotel is on is a mess of construction. It was a bit confusing, arriving late at night, but the road was empty then. It's a real mess in the daytime. We can eat at some interesting places well below our per diem. The hotel is conveniently close to the work site. (And both have WiFi.)
