What Rees said, and I'd add another suggestion. GET a guide for the first day. You'll be fun and money ahead if you do. Plenty on here, or PM Rees....he'll get you hooked up. Make up your mind in a hurry though...they book up REAL quick, if not already. The Washington idea is spot on, from my perspective.....you'll be a little early for Granada or any of the Big Four, actually. Unless, of course, this stewpit weather keeps actin a fool.
