You don t need to go outside and back through security. It is a hill, so connecting tunnels are on different levels. Ask directions. Hill staff are courteous and helpful.
16 A Few Basics What to wear? Check the weather forecast before you pack. DC can be warm and sunny or cold and snowy that week. If snow is in the forecast, pack for an extra day or two. Business attire is always appropriate. Suits for men and women, particularly on Tuesday when you visit your representatives Sunday s CSNA dinner is casual.
17 A Few Basics Getting Around DCMt Metro is excellent. Metro Mt station tti is a block east of fhtl hotel. Take Tk the Red Line to Union Station for Senate Side. Blue or Orange Line to Capitol South for House Side. Taxis cruise the corridor and can be hailed on the street- t this might be a challenge on Tuesday since Benjamin Netanyahu is addressing Congress.

18 A Few Basics Metro From National lairport tto JWM Marriott Yellow Line (towards Fort Totten).
