2. AREA ORIENTATION:
For orientation to the area, including lodging, check the following
web sites:
Most of you may already know that Annapolis is about 40 miles East
of
Washington DC. Shuttles, cabs and rental cars are options for getting
to
Annapolis from airports and train stations.
AIRPORTS - Baltimore/Washington International Airport (aka BWI)
is the
closest to Annapolis, but the other two area airports are not out
of the
question, especially if you get a car. Reagan National Airport is
very
near DC, in Virginia; Dulles International Airport is about 30 miles
West
of DC, but may be more economical for some tickets.
TRAINS - Amtrak serves DC efficiently from the Northeast corridor,
not so
well from other locations. There is a "BWI Airport" station
that would be
convenient for driving to Annapolis, or you could go into DC to
Union
Station.
4. GROUND TRANSPORTATION -
--> From BWI Airport and BWI Airport Amtrak Station - taxi to
downtown
Annapolis is approximately $40.
--> From BWI Airport - Super Shuttle service is $35, to the
Marriott
Waterfront in downtown Annapolis. Although this shuttle will pick
up from
any location to go to the airports, they can only drop at this hotel.
--> From BWI Airport - "Private Car" and Boston Coach
are sedan/limo
services which give personalized service to any location in the
Baltimore/Washington area.
Private Car - has a desk at the airport - call 410-519-0000 for
prices
Boston Coach - call 1-800/672-7676 for prices, reservations
