intersects with I-66.
Air: Washington-Dulles
International (IAD) serves all major national and international
destinations and is just 20 miles by road to the northeast. Ronald
Reagan Washington National (DCA) has domestic US connections and is an
hour's drive away to the east (about 37 miles).
Accommodation and facilities: The local county convention and visitors bureau has an accommodation directory. Another altenative is to reside in the west side of Washington DC and drive the few miles to the tournament each day. The Washington DC site has a booking form and lodging directory (which also covers Virginia).
Local sights and sounds: You can learn about Lake Manassas at the local community website and see a directory of nearby public golf courses here. For tourist attractions, consult the guides at the local county tourism site and the broader Virginia tourism site. With Washington DC so close, you might want to take advantage and take in some of the USA's biggest tourist destinations, such as the Whitehouse or the Smithsonian.
