*********************************************************************

Upon review of this itinerary after our return, we weren't far off from our planning. The commute to Virginia was a couple of hours longer because of a snowstorm, we never had time to return to our cabin following the Illinois Ball to get ready for the inauguration, and we left our rental cabin to return home to Massachusetts about two hours later than we initially planned, but on the whole our draft itinerary reflects our trip.
