3. AIR/RAIL TRANSPORTATION

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
