Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: DeeRod Date: 10 Oct 07 - 09:28 PM Power structure default or indifference leads me to plan to get the Fri. night sing started once again. 8:30 Main hall. Everybody who wants to sing gets to sing if that means six hours to get around the room. Bring your cast iron butts (developed at Fox Hollow) and choruses. We guarantee that your chosen song won't be sung by anyone else before the person next yo you does it. PS Motels for you furriners are a lot closer in Annapolis, Upper Marlboro or Bowie. Look at the map. Also BWI is a reasonable airport. Nat & Dulles are not. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Amos Date: 03 Oct 07 - 05:53 PM Claire: Sorry I didn't see this earlier -- as it happens I am coming into Dulles as well, on an overnight from the coast.

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: ClaireBear Date: 03 Oct 07 - 05:15 PM I made a hotel reservation in Leesburg (though I could always cancel, if there's a party), since that would put me in a position to cross the Potomac (after rush hour) relatively far from the capital city and then find some backroads that amble down through small towns in Maryland, skirting both DC and Baltimore metro areas, to the coast and on to West River. Does that make sense, or should I head south and cross the Potomac somewhere south of DC instead? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Charlie Baum Date: 03 Oct 07 - 05:05 PM Claire-- Your total drive is pretty short--it's about 20-some miles from Dulles into the DC Beltway, it's about 20-some miles around the beltway, and it's about 20-some miles from the Beltway to West River. If there were no traffic problems, the whole journey would be less than an hour and a half. Yeah, right! Traffic along most of the route is subject to potential rush hour delays between 3:30 am and 11:30 pm. Therefore, any zigzagging to avoid the Beltway increases your mileage, but not necessarily your time. The distances are so short, however, that you might just stare at a map and figure out where you'd most like to do your shunpiking. Then pick a nice hotel or B&B in a scenic place along your route. In general, the farther out in the country you get, the lower the lodging prices, though there probably aren't any true bargains in the region. The distances involved are so small that progress to the East isn't really required. Possible interesting places to visit in the area that aren't DC: Great Falls of the Potomac (MD or VA), Harpers Ferry WV, Shepherdstown WV, Antietam MD, Frederick MD, Annapolis, MD, Waterford VA, Fredericksburg, VA, Shenandoah National Park VA, the Eastern Shore... Or just maybe, someone will volunteer about a pre-Getaway party at their home on Thursday, with crash space included... --Charlie Baum |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Ebbie Date: 03 Oct 07 - 03:15 PM Where KT and Ebbie stayed in College Park (Where two lovely men inquired: "What light through yonder window breaks?") was a Howard Johnson's. Howard Johnson Express, if I remember correctly. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: ClaireBear Date: 03 Oct 07 - 03:10 PM Thank you, Art, but in truth I would vastly prefer to avoid the city altogether and, instead, go prowling through small towns in Maryland or Virginia and exploring the shore of the Potomac. Not that I have anything against Washington DC, but that would be its own trip and would require a week at least. No point in wasting a day trying to see it! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Fortunato Date: 03 Oct 07 - 03:08 PM Claire, I recommend getting far away from the airport to avoid rush hour I 495 on Friday morning. Suggestion: Do a mapquest from Dulles (IAD) to West River MD. Along the route will be College Park MD, where there are several motels just off I495. Mudcatters have stayed their successfully, you might PM KT above for the name of the specific motel where they stayed. and/or Do an www.orbitz.com search for motels in College Park and note their proximity to I495. This will have you on your route to the Getaway. you can PM me with questions. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Par From: artbrooks Date: 03 Oct 07 - 02:55 PM ClaireBear, I'm sure that you will get better and more specific answers to your question, but as a reformed DC-area resident (who now lives in a civilized part of the country) let me put my 2 cents in. Dulles is west of DC and the Getaway area is northeast-ish. Going close to the District on a weekday is a BAD IDEA, especially if you are unfamiliar with it. If you plan on touristing in the city, I'd recommend finding a place to overnight somewhere north near a Metro stop, and don't even think of driving in. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: ClaireBear Date: 03 Oct 07 - 12:27 PM DC area residents, Charlie Baum advises me to ask this on the forum: I am a West Coaster and know nothing about the DC area, but I have maps and can follow them... So, I am flying into Dulles on Thursday (arriving at 7:30pm) and renting a car at the airport for a leisurely, sightseeing-filled drive to the Getaway on Friday. Could someone tell me in what direction I might drive from the airport, and how far, to reach a not-too-expensive, not-too-major-chain hotel, if there is such a thing? And the hotel's name, assuming it exists, would be nice so I can make a reservation. It would be even better if said hotel put me someplace that would further my road trip on Friday. I am fond of back roads, small towns, and exploring rural settings. Or should I give up and stay at the airport Best Western, or whatever the low-end airport hotel is at Dulles? Thanks, Claire |
