DC Redux

I’m in DC now. It’s hot and humid. To be fair, a day in May in Singapore is far far worse and I survived that.
So I guess I shouldn’t complain TOO much.
I flew into IAD on Thursday evening around 1800. Got in 15 minutes early. Nice. Then it took me over an hour to get out of the damn airport!
Follow: Once we got off the plane, we got onto these shuttles which looked like rooms on wheels. We then cross two runways (stopping inbetween to let a 747 cross the road) and finally get to Terminal 1.
Then it’s an adventure trying to find the bus terminal that takes me to a Metro stop to continue heading into town.
By the time I was able to find the stand that sold tickets, I had to wait 10 minutes for the next bus.
So it took just about an hour to get out of Dulles. Sheesh.
Have any of these people heard about an express train?
