| Baltimore | buses from Baltimore to Philadelphia - NYC Posted: Tue November 3, 2009 12:20 AM UTC
Hi,
It's great getting lots of info from members here. We will be staying around Inner Harbor area in Baltimore and plan to travel from Baltimore to Philadelphia (Reading Market area), subsequently travel from Philly to NYC ( around Penn Station) or anywhere there is a PATH station. Any suggestion for bus services that is convenient for this itinerary? That doesn't require us to travel too far from hotels to the bus terminals. How are Greyhounds, megabus or gotobus? Any other suggestions are most welcome. Thanks. |

| Maryland | Visiting Maryland Posted: Fri October 9, 2009 11:50 PM UTC
Hi, I shall be staying in Clarksburg MD during Oct and Nov and wondered if
anyone knew where there is a shop or class for scrapbooking and or card making. I have never sat with a group of people doing this, so I'd love to take part in a class. I am self-taught from programs from the computer. These subjects aren't too popular in Israel. I like decoupage, heat embossing and teabag folding. Any info will be greatly appreciated. |

| Baltimore | Travelling from Baltimore to NYC/JFK Posted: Thu October 8, 2009 04:26 PM UTC
Could any members out there offer some advice on traveling from Baltimore to JFK.

What are the alternative transportation available? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. We also plan to travel and spend a few nights at DC, Philly and NYC, any advice on hotels and places of interest? Are there any places around these areas which are worth a visit? |

| Baltimore | Crabs Posted: Tue September 1, 2009 05:26 PM UTC
Where does a local go if you want a true Baltimore crab experience. Not into the Phillips/tourist scene, but authentic paper on table kind of place. I will be in Baltimore Oct 1-3. I have been to LP Steamers and loved it. Maybe they are the place to go again. Will I still be able to get local Bay crabs or will it be too late in the season. I hate to come to Baltimore to eat Louisiana Crab

| Maryland | Chesapeake Bay in Cambridge Posted: Wed July 29, 2009 08:10 PM UTC
Hi everyone,
So I've decided to go on a family trip for the weekend to Chesapeake Bay, we're going to stay at the Hyatt Resort, which I'm excited about. Unfortunately my dad in not the relax and enjoy the resort kind of dad, so I'm limited in my entertaining. He doesn't like museums o/w I would take him htere. Is tehre annnnnnnything else to do in the area. I saw some hiking in the refuge (not sure if that was good)? I know there are outlets about 40 mins away (on our way to cambridge, so we'll probably do that on our way out), anything else, even if it's enjoying and shopping around an old town, and eating somewhere nice?? Thanks in advance |

| Ocean City | Planning a Family Reunion at OC MD Posted: Sun May 24, 2009 12:02 AM UTC
I have volunteered to organize this reunion for the 1st weekend after Labor Day. The family has chosen OC MD even though no one has ever been there? I am on the Left Coast now and haven't a clue. On line I found Northside Park (125 St.). Is this a good place for a 50+ person BBQ on a Saturday?
Also, regarding hotels, what area is best for a group to stay? How about Downtown Boardwalk or Convention Center Area or the Northside or does anyone have other suggestions. There will be no rug rats, a few teens, 30's thru 50's and a a bit older. Any ideas? |

| Baltimore | Getting around in Baltimore Posted: Thu April 30, 2009 03:52 PM UTC
What's the best way to get around Baltimore without my own transport? I may need to travel frequently between Homewood(JHU) and downtown, is it better to stay in downtown or near Homewood? Any comments or info on Double Tree Inn (across JHU), Radisson at Cross Key and the Mt Washington convention center?
With a family of three, is it cheaper to travel in cabs? What's the fare structure around downtown? Will appreciate any reply. |

| Maryland | Suggestions for a 3 to 7 day Summer roadtrip Posted: Fri April 24, 2009 11:29 AM UTC
This is perhaps the most embarassing question I've ever asked in Forum, because I grew up in Maryland.
Thinking of taking a 2 week trip to MD this summer with my friend from China. Would spend first and last few days of trip visiting family and visiting the local area area (Baltimore, and possibly Ocean City and/or Washington DC). But would like to go for a drive for 3 to 7 days to see something beautiful, and that's where I'd like your suggestions. Historical or other sigificant sites are OK, but if it takes a lot of explaining or is too US-centric, it won't be as interesting to us, unless it can be understood by just seeing and observing (without having to go thru a crash course on US history, explained/translated by crewrower in broken Mandarin). I'd like to avoid extended driving on the the I-95 northbound corridor or any other roads where traffic or road repairwork is heavy. If you will suggest I drive west, routing through Southeast Ohio on route to the destination would be good, as I can visit family there too. We want to avoid sun-intensive activities, so no beaches or anything else where sunburn is a possibility. OK, that's it. Have fun telling me where to go... I appreciate it. |

| Ocean City | Assateaque Island Yearly Round Up... Posted: Tue March 24, 2009 07:28 PM UTC
I was Assateaque State Park last July 2008, for the very first time. I was absolutely amazed at the beauty that surrounded me. Upon our entering the island, we did see about 6 ponies at the gate. We then realized; after not seeing another pony around, that we must have visited during the Yearly Round Up.
My question is: Is there a particular day that the majority of the horses are rounded up, taken across the water for auction, and then returned to the island? We are planning a family vacation in July of this year, and we would love to be on the island when it's repopulated again. Thank You |

Hi Everyone,
It's VT staffer, Courtney here and I'm trying to help a journalist with a project. He's working on an article about TV and movie-based tourism and wants to know if anyone has ever heard of anyone in Baltimore giving "Wire" tours - i.e, tours of city landmarks featured on the TV show "The Wire." If you have, or if you've taken one yourself, please email me at paris92@vtmail.com or courtney@virtualtourist.com as soon as possible. As always, I'm so appreciative of your help!!! Take care, Courtney |
