National has a HUGE taxi queue. You are however likely to get a DC cab with no meter. I'd make a remark about turbans but I am not sure whether this is still the case. Dana On Mon, 14 Feb 2005 11:57:20 -0600, Raymond Camden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Oh I keep forgetting there are -3- choices.

usta drive a cab in Montgomery County. Routinely ran $75 to Dulles from Gaithersburg; I'd guess maybe $50 from White Flint to Dulles. Not familiar with prices FROM Dulles but you might want to be aware that as I recall it's a monopoly out there so I'd expect more. Dana On Mon, 14 Feb 2005 10:30:

Actually, a much better option from BWI is take 95 south to 198; 198 West becomes 28, then take that to Rockville. I took a Maryland Shuttle from BWI that way in December; cost about $35, IIRC. I don't think it was rush hour, though. http://www.marylandshuttle.com/ - david On Mon, 14 Feb 2005 1

An alternative would be to get the MARC train to the end of Metro's Orange Line, then take the Orange Line to Metro Center, then the red Line to the nearest stop to the Hotel. Then either get a shuttle or a cab to the Hotel itself. That way you miss 90% of the real ugly part of the traffic tieups.

IMO, National (DCA) is hands down the easiest. The appeal of the others is that they generally have cheaper flights. In addition to cabs, there's the Metro (light rail). Here's a map: http://www.wmata.com/metrorail/systemmap.cfm -Kevin On Mon, 14 Feb 2005 09:42:48 -0600, Raymond Camden <[EMAIL

The airport runs a shuttle from Dulles for $22. So, I'm guessing a cab from there is going to be way pricey. National is on the metro route, and the White Flint stop is "right across the street" theoretically. It's a 45 minute metro ride, so again, I'm thinking cab is expensive. On Mon, 14 Feb 2
