Next week I will be traveling to the DC area for work. Obviously I plan to pack a few "unconventional" items in my suitcase so I will be able to enjoy some me time in the evenings. I am traveling with some colleagues which means I will not be able to fly pretty on my way there and because we will be sharing a rental car, my opportunities to get out in the evening are slim, but I will be staying on through the weekend and returning home on Sunday evening. This means that if I so desire, I should be able to fly pretty on the return trip. The only problem with that plan is that I will be visiting family that do not know about me on Sunday prior to heading for the airport so I would not be able to get dressed before heading to the airport.
I am flying out of Dulles. Can anybody familiar with the area recommend a good place for me to change from my drab clothes either at the airport or reasonably close to it? I tried to look up the airport online to see if they showed unisex or family restroom where I could change prior to checking my baggage and obtaining my boarding pass, but was unsuccessful in finding anything.
It has also been several years since I ventured out into public dressed either alone or not for Halloween, so I am a little concerned about passing and all of the other fears that go with presenting to the general public. For those of you that have flown pretty, how important is a passing appearance to traveling without incident?
I'm terrified and excited all at the same time. I don't know if I'm going to end up chickening out like I did recently when my wife and kids were out of town, but I would like to at least have all of the intellectual information available so then I can make the decision completely emotionally.
