I had unusual travel plans for my recent business trip to Annapolis. First I flew to BWI on Southwest (which curiously didn’t have all of their new line arrangements yet in place). I rented a car for the Annapolis leg of the trip. When I got done with work today, I returned the car to the Baltimore airport (via the Baltimore-Washington Parkinglotway), where I planned to catch a train south to Fredericksburg.
Kelly and the kids were driving up to meet me there on their way to Warrenton. Only problem was that Amtrak is quite punctual north of DC, as opposed to my last experience with them! I arrived at the platform just as the train was pulling away. Another train ticket later and I was on the following Acela train to DC, where I was able to catch my previous train. I arrived in Fredericksburg to find my family happily waiting for me.
Now we’re together we can drive back to Raleigh Sunday night without taking two cars.
