Title: Maryland Travelers (Nationals Preparation Thread)
Post by: TechnoEthicist on April 07, 2010, 10:40:28 AM
Since 3-Liner asked, I figured we'd get this underway. The big blue church van is unavailable until Thursday, so the mega-carpool idea is out. Gretel and I will be flying via Airtran from BWI to Logan Airport Wednesday afternoon and return Sunday afternoon. The cost is like 150.00 each after all is said and done. I am unsure if others plan on driving....I think Marti is flying with us, but she will have to confirm.

So no carpool? I'm down with flying. But I think carpooling would be even more fun.

Isn't MD only like 3 hours away from MA anyway? It's only 3 letters away...

No. We did a trip to ny for regionals and it took 4 or 5 hours to get there straight if I remember correctly

I'm just saying, it isn't like outrageous to consider driving driving to MA from MD like it is from MN. ::) I'm not sure how much a plane ticket from MD to MA would be, but it seems to me like driving would be a better choice unless you have lots of money and very little time.

It's farther away than you think...and the Northeast is a bear to drive in....

Like I said I would love to drive up in a carpool so much more funner but apparently nobody is gonna drive up so we might have to fly. Brandon doesn't wanna fly though so he would probably get a greyhound or something. Which sounds like super fun.

I'm not 100% yet. I can only stay till early Saturday morning now, if I go, because of a wedding of one of the girls in my small group that I said I'd go to like right after she got engaged (yay for everything being the same week, lol).

Yeah, the Northeast STINKS to drive in. I live in the southern part of the state (near MD border) and I'm originally from the border of NY/PA and it takes almost 4 hours to get across the state... and we'd have to do so to get up there, and then you still have NY.... oh NY.

So if I go, I have to fly, cause there's NO way I can get from here to there and back and not look like death at the wedding.

Okay, I guess I was. :P Still though, 7 hours of driving is a piece of cake if you have friends with you. :)

Don't forget the price of all the tolls.  Just getting from MD to Delaware costs $9.00.

Actually, that wasn't a question, and I wasn't really looking for an answer either, but thank you still. :)
