You could stop at Luray Caverns in Virginia. Monticello is very pretty too.
2 :
There are lots of things to do in Nashville. I'm going to assume you're into country music? You could visit the Country Music Hall of Fame (I'm pretty sure it's open again since the floods). You can go down broadway and find a lot to do. Go down to the riverfront, I think they have these duck tours you can take that allow you to go out on the Cumberland River that runs through Nashville, but I myself have not done it. As for restaurants I would check out the Blue Bird Cafe its really popular I've heard. As for malls Opry Mills is closed cause of flood damage but there is Green Hills Mall, Rivergate Mall, and if you take 65 down to Franklin you have Cool Springs Mall. Sorry I couldn't answer the first part of your question but I hope you enjoy Nashville! Here's a link you might want to check out--http://www.visitmusiccity.com/visitors/index

Take the Blue Ridge Parkway at least part of the way, and stop at the points of interest along it. It is very pretty and relaxing. Mainly, just stay off the interstates and you will see the real sights, little shops, mom-and-pop restaurants, wildlife, etc.

Amtrak is not only the only practical way, its probably the cheapest. You MIGHT save a few bucks by taking a greyhound bus, but trust me, its not worth it at all. Go Amtrak.
2 :
Amtrak is the only way to do it by rail.
3 :
I have taken Greyhound before and it's not only affordable but it's not as bad as you might think. Some stations in Maryland have direct routes from New York's Port Authority and it takes around four hours depending on exactly where you are going. Amtrak is expensive, but somewhat faster and somewhat more convenient, but it's really a toss-up. Just make sure you get to the bus or train station well in advance of your departure time. There is heavy security at the Amtrak station, and there are lots of people in line at the Greyhound station, plus it's hard to find your way around the Port Authority station in New York.
4 :
There's air, there's rail, there's the bus, there's driving up I-95. Personally, if I wasn't driving, I'd probably elect Amtrak. Seems easy, direct, affordable.
5 :
Amtrak Metroliner, all the way.

Besides driving, what is the easiest way to travel to Baltimore from Philly and back? I don't want to drive!!
I am going on vacation with a friend who lives in Baltimore. We are flying from Baltimore. I really don't feel like driving there and I definitely won't feel like driving back after a week-long vacation. I live just outside of Philly. I'm not extremely familiar with public transportation and I don't want to impose on family or friends to take me to and from the train station, etc. Any suggestions/advice/tips would be GREATLY appreciated. Take care! I need to do this by myself. I drive but don't want to drive to Baltimore. Where can I park my car???? Other - United States - 4 Answers

Amtrak. Runs from Baltimore Penn Station to Philadelphia.
2 :
You can take Amtrak between those two cities and then use the bus or subway to get home. I think the Acela even runs between those two cities.
3 :
Definitely take the train! You could take a bus, but on the train you can get up and move around.
4 :
Public transportation is nothing to be afraid of. You can drive to Philly's 30th St. Station and park for a week - just be prepared to pay $100 or so. Take Amtrak train from Philly to BWI Airport station. Take shuttle bus from train station to airport terminal (for example, Southwest). Have your friends meet you at the Southwest terminal (or any other carrier you're using). More info at: http://www.bwiairport.com After your vacation, take the shuttle bus from the airport back to the BWI train station and take the Amtrak train back to Philly. Pay the $100 for parking and drive back to where you live. No imposing on your friends or family.

amtrak train..just get the business class cab cause the coach is a little dirty for my taste.it takes a little longer..but hey you can buy beer and food on the train and its cheap.
5 :
Cycling may be the cheapest. Walking could also be cheap but you would possibly need to eat food on the way or stop somewhere overnight which would probably cost money.
6 :
bus
7 :
I live in Baltimore. The best way is to travel is by car, using I-95 South. Consult www.mapquest for directions and times etc!
8 :
There is AMtrak train service, there are Marc commuter trains, or you can take a bus. The Bus station in DC is just a few blocks north of Union Station (trains) just off North Capitol St. Your best bet on a Sunday is probably the bus or Amtrak.
9 :
the MARC train
10 :
take the Metro
11 :
On a Sunday, Greyhound and Amtrak are your only options. The train and bus both go to Union Station in D.C., where you can pick up the Metro from there.

My, what a bunch of bad answers. Amtrak runs frequent trains from Baltimore to New York. It's the fastest and most comfortable way to go. You can fly, but it's not any faster door to door. Buy your ticket ahead of time on the Amtrak web site to get a good price. Bolt Bus and Megabus (same company as Megabus UK) run buses that are cheaper, sometimes much cheaper, but slower and less comfortable than the train.. See their web sites for details.

Amtrak. Their Acela train is faster and more expensive than regular Amtrak. See the Amtrak website for details.

We are having a difficult time finding hotels in DC that aren't $10000000 for the Obama inauguration. I found a pretty good deal for air & hotel for Baltimore, but how much of a pain in the rear would that be to get to and from in general. Obviously, things will be amped up 1000 times during this time.

There's MARC and there's Metro, so you should be okay going in from Baltimore by rail. Take MARC to Union Station, and then take Metro to get more specifically where you need to go once you're in DC.
3 :
I don't have a clue about this part of the country either...except that I visited DC last summer...so I gave my cousin in VA a call...she's lived in or around DC most of her life. Basically you have two options for getting from Baltimore to DC...rent a car and drive it yourself or use public transportation (rail to get you to DC, subway from there). We drove in from VA, parked in Springfield VA and took the train the rest of the way in...and after witnessing the traffic when my cousin picked us up and dropped us off at the airport (Dulles) I'd take the Metro any day! Now what this might be like during inauguration neither of us have a clue...and this one could be especially crazy...I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that circus!
4 :
Try the MARC (Maryland Area Rail Commenter) train. You can not take Metro as it only goes half way to Baltimore. http://www.mtamaryland.com/services/marc/
5 :
Definitely stay away from DC central as rates and availability is almost gone as I hear it. Baltimore is a good choice. Also, try other "fringe" areas like Springfield, Fairfax, Reston, Alexandria in Virginia; and Annapolis, MD Columbia MD Rental car will be absolutely required. Be prepared to use Metro from the outer fringes, and be aware that MARC and Virginia Rail may not be operating on weekends or Inauguration because its considered a Federal Holiday. Metro will be a mess, but frankly, you will have no other choice in the matter as a million people will be anticipated or more. I've done it before...think Times Square on New Years for 24 hours straight. Those locations should work if you book now. Be sure to snag your rental car early too! They will soon be sold out too!
6 :
Take amtrak, greyhound or even the MARC..
7 :
The train (Amtrak) connects the 2. Schedule: http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak/Schedules_Page It's the Northeast train between NYC and Washington. I would recommend reservations. If you can stay near BWI, you can even ride the Metro in. http://www.wmata.com/maps/maps.cfm

DC to Baltimore is about an 60-75 minute drive depending on traffic. Easiest way to get to DC from Baltimore is either I-95 or 295 (Baltimore Washington Parkway). If you are taking public transportation, there is also the MARC train from Baltimore to DC, however that is a commuter train and does not run frequently. Amtrak also goes from Baltimore to DC as well.

My friend, even though this a question for the Baltimore section of YA!, I'll answer it anyway. Step 1: take either the Yellow, Blue or Red Line train from the University of Maryland/Mt. Royal light rail station to Lexington Market. Step 2: at Lexington Market, transfer to bus route 20. Take bus bound for either Marine Terminal or CCBC Dundalk to the Baltimore Travel Plaza. The bus will leave you in front of the Travel Plaza. I hope this information is very helpful. Good luck Native New Yorker.

Where in Charles County? Anyway, it looks like the 905 and the 907 on this page run to destinations in Charles County from downtown DC. http://www.mtamaryland.com/services/commuterbus/schedulesSystemMaps/ You can go from Baltimore to Washington on the MARC train. One runs from Camden Yards and the other from the Amtrak station. They go to Union station in DC. You're going to have to take Metro in DC to get to one of the places where these buses stop.
3 :
Your best bet is to probably take a train from Baltimore down to Union Station in DC. Then, take the Metro (subway) to one of the Metro bus stops that service Charles County. I think that the DC buses run as far as Waldorf and/or Indian Head. Not sure about the rest of the county.

They r subways, trains, and buses. Good luck!

What is a "Chinese bus?" I have never seen or heard of any buses that supply car seats. You need to ask the bus company your specific questions. You would be farmore comfortable on Amtrak
3 :
Unless you've paid for a separate seat, you'll most likely be carrying the child for the trip (which may or may not even be legal). That's because at those cheap fares that the Chinatown buses charge, they have to sell every seat. Buses do not supply car seats. Your best bet would be to have someone give you a lift in a car or drive yourself.

Wow...I do not envy you. As far as car seats go, you really should check with the bus company. I flew with my toddler recently, and was surprised to learn that they encouraged parents to use car seats on the plane. I am sure the bus company will be able to answer that better than any of us.

It does depend how fast you drive and where exactly you are traveling from and to. However, a more HELPFUL answer is approximately 3 hours. :)
3 :
It depends on how you drive and when. The loop around Baltimore DC area sucks. Avoid rushhour. It shouldnt take more than 3-4 hours given good conditions. Avoid trying to get into NY on Sunday evenings in the Summer. The people coming back from the Jersey Shore crowd the roads.
