We will be heading to Baltimore from 12/30-1/1 and would like ideas of what to do for New Year's Eve celebration at the Inner Harbor. We've researched options (Sheraton Convention Center Party, Power Plant Live, etc), and are open to them, but we don't know first hand what is the best option....and also feel we might be missing another option that we haven't come across.... Any thoughts?

For my next trip, I would like to know if you knew the "Painted Ladies",these multi-colored Victorian style houses. I would like to know the street where the houses are situated. thanks in advance.

My husband and I are flying into BWI in September to visit our daughter and grandchildren in Virginia. We have never used public transportation as we aren't frequent travelers. We need to get from BWI to Dulles to be picked up by our daughgter, so would really appreciate any suggestions for SAFE, reliable public transportation. I have to admit, getting into a car with a stranger driving us through very unknown areas of a busy city, gives ME especially, great anxiety!! Did I mention that I am 69 years old and my hubby is 82? PLUS, we live in a very small town and just aren't that savvy when it comes to travel. But we are longing to see our kids, so are willing to step outside our comfort zone! Thanks for sharing your experience with public transportation from BWI to Dulles. And God bless :-)

Is there a way I can drive by car to Baltimore (particularly Baltimore Convention Center) from Rockville, Maryland and avoid bridges and ramps?

Thank you
