Is any one else flying in to BWI on the 15th? And do any of you local know how long it would take to get from there to camp?
I am supposed to arrive there at 12:06 on the 15th, and have never been there so I dont really know what to expect, actually I have never flown before.
Any help will be much appreciated,

Re: Airport???
I live nearby and I would guess about an hour driving from BWI to the conference center (give or take a bit...)
I hope that helps. Have a great time!

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".
There is NO SUCH THING AS A DUMB QUESTION.

Re: Airport???
Amy,
There's a shuttle service into Washington DC, I know; go to the "Ground Transportation" Information Desk. There will be signs saying "Ground Transportation". When in doubt or confusion, go to your airline desk and ask.Actually anyone in a red vest with airport ID badges can help you. There may be a shuttle service into Chevy Chase too, and then a taxi ride to the 4-H Conference Center on Connecticut Ave. wouldn't cost very much. a shuttle service may even be able to drop you off at the Conference Center. It doesn't hurt to ask.
Flying is a wonderful learning experience and you learn most from asking questions. You are going to have a wonderful time,Amy, but pack your Patience 1st.
Hugs,
Carolyn J

Re: Airport???
Hi, Amy. I checked MapQuest b/c I was considering flying and renting a car from BWI (when you're traveling as a group of 6 people, it seems to end up being cheaper to rent a car from BWI than to use other means of ground transportation). Anyway, here's what I found:
Balt.-Wash. Int'l Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI)
7062 Friendship Road
Baltimore, MD 21240
410-859-7111
Dist. from Camp: 38 min, 34.0 miles
4-H Conference Center
7100 Connecticut Avenue
Chevy Chase, MD 20815-4934
301-961-2801 / 800-368-7432 (8:30am - 5pm)
Dist. from BWI to Camp: 38 min, 34.0 miles (although I'm sure Sally's info. is more accurate b/c I don't know how well MapQuest factors in traffic)
If you want to findout more info. about the ground transportation from BWI beforehand, go to the BWI airport website http://www.bwiairport.com/ and there's a menu of options under "Ground Transportation." You should find lots of info. and some phone numbers. What airline are you flying? I hope this helps. Can't wait to meet you!

Re: Airport???
Amy,
Were you planning to go straight to the Rally site on the National Mall from the airport, or skip that and go straight to camp?
I can direct you either way, but the choices differ.
