Flying into Dulles on the 17th of September, overnighting then taking an afternoon flight to Harare. Has anyone found a place in DC to get the test readily near the airport? My thoughts are I get the test on arrival and then have them for the next day flight. Or am I dreaming?

Here's info from the website flydulles.com.

Regards, Tim
