BWI to Union Station on the Amtrak!

March 1, 2012 – 1:35 am

Just last week I booked a very inexpensive flight from Baltimore, MD (BWI) to Tucson, AZ (TUS) for only $214 on Delta Airlines! Great deals are abundant when traveling through BWI but getting there can be a rough journey. A few weeks ago I posted a public transportation route on the Metro (Green Line) from Green Belt to BWI on the B30 bus line. I found a route that was actually much faster. At only 21 minutes travel time, the Amtrak offers one-way tickets from Union Station to BWI for only $14.

Book your reservation online at the Amtrak website to check availability. The reason I decided on the Amtrak was because my flight time was outside the normal operating hours of the B30 bus route. The Amtrak has one stop between BWI and Union Station at (Red line, few minutes away from our DC Inn) the New Carrollton Metro Station.

Enjoy and Safe Travels!

Washington DC Tourist Itineraries

Planning to Visit New York after your stay with us in DC? Try the St. Marks Hotel in East Village, Manhattan Island

February 23, 2012 – 1:06 am

On a recent stay in New York I found that finding a hotel wasn’t cheap at all. Luckily I was referred to an amazing historic hotel right near Grand Central Station and just east of Penn Station. The Saint Marks Hotel has very affordable rates and accommodations for single rooms or large rooms for up to four people! East village is a fairly safe neighborhood with venues catering to famous food and shops that New York is know for.

The hotel only accepts cash and their February/March rates were around $110 for a single night. You can’t beat the proximity and convenience as it’s within walking distance to the mega bus, major train stations and even Brooklyn Bridge.
