Each has it&#8217;s own title. Lots to tell&#8230;and show! <em>There&#8217;s even a place at the bottom to to leave comments as well!<\/em><\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><em>Here we go&#8230;<\/em><\/strong>We decided to stay in DC for the night before we left&#8230;good thing! Only when Sarah dropped us at the hotel did I realize that I didn&#8217;t have my Nikon battery charger. So, I had to go and buy one at a local Best Buy.\u00a0 But now I had no car. So, booked a Lyft just to buy a charger. But out of the mishap, I had a great conversation with my driver, who turned out to be from Turkey, and spoke very little English. But, he had Google Translate and we were able to communicate via the app! All in all a wild experience! And to make matters better\u2026 he not only took me from the hotel to BestBuy but also took me back &amp; didn\u2019t charge me more!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had our Global One Entry which includes TSA Pre-Check, but now they\u2019ve got something new called <strong><em>\u201cClear\u201d<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; where you use only your face as your ID\u2026it was awesome because we got a personal escort all the way through security. They walked us quickly through all phases of clearing security.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t have to remove liquids, shoes or anything! It was like being someone famous\u2026so worth it for the zero stress! This will be awesome the next time we travel overseas!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-64 aligncenter\" style=\"width: 83px;\" src=\"http:\/\/fonh.com\/sacruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Mom-in-COF-lounge-1.png\" alt=\"Mom at Capital One Lounge\" height=\"116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fonh.com\/sacruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Mom-in-COF-lounge-1.png 335w, https:\/\/fonh.com\/sacruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Mom-in-COF-lounge-1-215x300.png 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>Once through security, we then found the Capital One Lounge at IAD!
