Choose Your Weapon (of Transportation):
Train Time: This is your speedy and scenic option. MARC trains and Amtrak both zoom between Union Station in DC and BWI Marshall Rail Station in a flash (think 30-minute territory). Bonus: you can admire the Maryland countryside (or catch up on work emails, no judgement there).
Hitting the Road, Robin Hood: Driving gives you flexibility, but DC traffic can be a beast. Pro tip: brush up on your zen meditation techniques before getting behind the wheel. The drive itself is a breeze, clocking in at around 45 minutes depending on the route and traffic gods.
Ride in Style (or Maybe Just Ride): Ridesharing apps like Uber and Lyft are convenient, but prices can surge during peak hours. Still, it's a comfortable option, especially if you're lugging around a suitcase the size of a small car.
Beware the Quest for Parking (Unless You're a Knight Templar):
BWI has parking options galore, but be prepared to pay a knight's ransom (okay, maybe not that dramatic, but still). If you choose to drive, consider booking your parking spot in advance for a smoother experience.
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
