I live in downtown Bethesda, but work at the Univ. of Maryland at Baltimore. Presently, I commute by car, and have a parking space at the Univ. garage. Due to the present steep spike in the gas prices, I am willing to go for carpooling.

Is there anyone who commutes to Baltimore fom bethesda and back, and is willing to carpool? Please let me know at e-mail address prallabhandi@som.umaryland.edu.

Thanks.

Are there any public forms of transportation between Baltimore and Annapolis?
What about between D.C. and Annapolis? Thanks!

We have 4 days to do the Baltimore area (I know, we need more time). Obviously we need to maximize our time. We would like to visit Annapolis, Ft. McHenry, Fell's Point, and the D.C. area for a day. I know this is a lot to squeeze in, but I've been trying to get our friends there for years. I want to show them a lot.
*Any suggestions for an Inner Harbor Hotel that won't break the bank?
*Since we want to go these other places, would staying somewhere inbetween make sense?
*Isn't there an interesting (perhaps historical) town inbetween Baltimore and Annapolis?
*Have a missed anything we should see/do? Thanks!

How do you acquire a V.I.P. Pass to the Seacret's night club? My friends and I spend all summer down there . We drive almost three times a night, hour and half away to see what is happening in the best summer spot of all times

Will be there for U of Maryland parents weekend in October.

Has anyone seen the Makai Condos? I came across them on the web at www.makaicondos.com. I think it is where the Ramada used to be near the Convention Center in Ocean CIty. They look nice, but I was wondering if anyone has seen one?

I travel many times a month between Washington and Philadelphia Airport on I-95
Usually going North in the late morning or early to mid afternoon. Is there any way to find out what the road conditions are or where construction delays are before I get on the road? And if I am on the road already, is there anyone I can contact to check on construction along I-95, so that I could possibly plan my route around that area? I don't know if there is a MD Transportation number that I could call. On my way to a 10:00 doctors appointment near the airport last Friday I crept along in traffic between Exit 85 and the Bridge over the Susquahanna River for well over an hour because they had 2 of the 3 lanes shut down to do some work on the bridge. I never did figure out what was being done and why 2 lanes had to be closed.I only saw 2 or 3 persons .I always allow at least an extra hour to get to where I need to be when driving that direction but I was still a bit late for my apointment. I have Sirius Radio traffic for Baltimore and Philly but they don't cover the area in between on I-95.

are crabs in season in april

I'm planning on doing a 5-week externship at the bolling airforce base in DC. My boyfriend lives in Towson..how painful will the commute be by car? How long during rush hour would it take? My hours are 7am-4pm. Thanks!

I'm used to long commutes. I go from NH to Boston everyday, which is 1.5-2 hours.

Will be in Baltimore on business thru Friday afternoon and would like to visit DC on Saturday. What is the best way to get there and back? Sounds like the MARC runs only during the week. Any other public transportation? Thanks!

Hello Everyone! My parents are planning to visit family in Baltimore (Edgewood) using a military flight. They are older and not used to driving in different weather conditions (we are from So. California). I am worried about that. Is there another way for them to get to Baltimore from either Dover AFB or Andrews AFB? I am thinking that a cab would be too expensive. Is there some sort of shuttle service at a fixed price? Or maybe even public transportation? Thanks for any help that you can give.

I am attending a conference in Baltimore in the coming weeks. As I live in Reston, I would come down the toll road to the inner loop north to 95 north. In the evenings, I would reverse, taking 95 south to the outer loop to toll road.

Am I generally flowing against the Baltimore commuter traffic staying north and west of the city (aside from the 270 split)? How long should I expect the trip around the beltway for at 6:45 a.m. and 6:15p.m. respectively?

Thanks,

I am visiting Baltimore MD. from Nov 10-25.
I want some great crab cakes and local food, bars & of course the usual tourist stuff.
What is your suggestion to weed through all the info on the net?

hi somebody plz tell me what r the travel means from cockeysville to washington d.c and how much is the fare.

What is the best way to reach the Amtrak station and avoid heavy traffic if coming from Parkville?

STAYING OCT. 12,13 14 LOOKING FOR A DECENT PLACE FOR DRINKS. OLDER GROUP NOT LOOKING FOR COLLEGE AGE BARS BUT A QUIET PLACE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.

On the day before Thanksgiving, I need to get from DC (Georgetown) to BWI to take a Southwest airlines flight to Manchester, NH, then travel to Boston. My choices are train, then bus shuttle to the Terminal, or bus from DC. It's one of the busiest travel days, so I'm worried about packed highways. Since the airport will be so busy, I think I should allow 2 hrs to get through security lines at the airport itself rather than the airline-recommended 1 1/2 hrs. I don't know how much time to allow myself to get from DC's Union Station to the airport on that busy day. Would it be better to get a flight from IAD (Dulles) to Boston?

Who is selling Cat's Meow pieces of Crisfield now? I am coming in from out of town in October and wish to continue my collection and I understand that the Rustic Charm is gone now. Thanks Gina

Hi, my partner and I are moving to Baltimore. We currently live/work in Philly and DC, and for at least the next couple of years will be sticking with our jobs. So, we're both trying to find the best mix of quick, yet economical commuting routes. We know we'll use the MARC for the DC commute, but it's the Philly one that's difficult...it looks like most of the older posts recommend Amtrak, but that has skyrocketed from $500 to $944 since those last posts! Any other suggestions? Even if you know an easy way to get to the Wilmington Septa station, that might be helpful...we can take the Regional Rail from there!

Thanks!

Im into BWI in the next few weeks and wondering if it is faster and or cheaper to use MARC than using the BWI Express bus to the Greenbelt Metro station...Im guessing that MARC would be faster and more direct than using bus and then Metro...
Would anybody have any suggestions please...?

Hi-

Does anyone know of an inexpensive hotel in OC that would be available this weekend 17-19 Aug? I have looked and looked on line and can not find anything available. Perhaps someone out there might know of place that is not advertised online... a well kept secret place! This is an last minute trip. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

We are from another Maryland town and are planning a day trip in that area. I have heard that the square at Leonardtown is neat. Where is it ? What is there>
etc. Thank you

what is the cost of train trip from Cumberland??

We are interested in going to Solomons Island for the weekend soon and are interested in places to stay. We plan to visit the famous Tiki Bar and would like to have something nearby. The only accomodations I can see in the general area is a B&B and it is booked for all of the upcoming weekends. Any recommendations? Any ideas? Any places we definitely should stay away from?
thanks!

Hello,
My wife, myself, and our lovely 2-months old daughter would like to get away for a while form home (Pittsburgh, PA). The Chesepeake area seems like a perfect candidate, since it is not too far.

We are looking for a nice, quite place. Nature, water, and a relaxed vacation are much preferred over a busy city. We have two nights to spend.

Can you please recommend us of a town, or even a specific bnb we would enjoy?

Thanks much!
