So how are you going to get to BWI?

You *could* drive, pay to park, wait for the bus to take FROM the parking spot...

You *could* avoid traffic headaches and get picked up from where ever you are and let a shuttle take you *and* pick you up.

I just picked my daughter up from BWI recently, she flew on Southwest (as so many do), the flight was delayed from the bad weather on the Atlantic. I got ready to pick her up at BWI from 4:00 PM, flight was supposed to land at 6:00 PM, they didn't get on the plane until 7:00 PM

I'd already driven from Frederick Maryland to BWI, she didn't arrive at BWI until 9:00 PM.

We got home at 10:30 PM

So...that's 6 and a half hours of MY time... Shuttle sounds pretty good to me right now!

Taxi Scam Stories

Avoiding Taxi Scams

Developed-world cities regulate the number of taxis on their streets so every driver will be assured a certain amount of business. In return every taxi is periodically inspected for safety, and must charge the same metered rate--about $1.50 or $2 to get in the cab; about $1.50 per mile; and wait time of about $12-$30 per hour, which kicks in when the cab is stationary or moving less than ten mph. (This compensates the driver for traffic.) Thus a two- or three-mile trip costs about $5 in rich countries.

In much of the developing world, however, there is little or no regulation of the taxi business. Anyone who has a car can become a taxi driver. It thus becomes dog-eat-dog for customers, with a bargaining system evolving that favors locals who know the score, and rips-off those who don't.

How to Spot the Taxi Money Travel Scam

From eHow

Taxi scams involving money are one of the most common travel scams. Overseas travelers should be especially aware of this scam. Not knowing the native language of a country or its currency can lead to a driver taking advantage of them.

Check that doors can be opened and unlocked from inside the car before stepping into it. Some taxi drivers use child-locking features or remove handles to demand money from riders before unlocking the doors and letting them out of the vehicle.

Keep an eye on the meter. Taxi drivers who claim that the meter is broken, unnecessary or not part of the taxi driving protocol may be interested in overcharging you for your fare. They may also try to start the meter using an increased rate. Learn how much the usual starting rates are for taxi rides so that you can determine if you're being ripped off

=====

Taking a taxi in other countries can be a harrowing expirience according to MSN Travel Guides

Diane Vadino

"Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, has a reputation as a scammer's paradise, with legions of con men swindling doe-eyed visitors. I'd spent two hassle-free weeks in the beautiful, fascinating country before I got to Hanoi. Once there, I ended up setting a personal record: I was scammed three times in one day — and was nearly scammed a fourth.

First, my taxi driver had a meter that sped faster than he did; my ride to the Temple of Literature ended up costing four times what Lonely Planet had advised. Then, on the return trip, a different driver tried to drop me off in the middle of nowhere — unless I paid twice the fee we’d agreed to before we left. (I thought I’d outsmarted the speeding-meter scam. I was wrong.)

Flight Tracking while Googling

Get Flight Information every time you Google anything?

Now travelers and Googlers are now able to check the status of a flight by using the Google search engine.

Early last year, Google rolled out a search feature which updates information from FlightStats to allow users to check whether a flight is on time or delayed. Users are also able to check the departure and arrival times by just typing in the airline name and flight number into the Google Search bar.

This convenient flight tracking tool by Google allows travelers to have knowledge about their trips at their fingertips. Travelers can plan and control their journeys better and minimize the damage to their business or holidays due to delays. Airlines also will have less angry and frustrated passengers in their hands while information can be disseminated efficiently via the Net. But beware of hackers who may play havoc to the system and create more problems to undermine travel plans and flight safety. (source mydigitallife.info )

It's the end of the year so enjoy yourself

Here's some funny videos to lighten up an otherwise dreary day...

With the inauguration expected to be one of the biggest events in Washington DC history it's a safe bet the cab companies, limo companies and sedan companies that serve Montgomery County, Loudoun County, Howard County and Frederick County are all going to be booked.

Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com

Some people think that having a job that's busy is a good thing (especially if you want to keep that job.. job security has a lot to do with is your industry in demand.

Others just want to "get by" and don't appreciate when their job gets frantic with demand. The inauguration is most certainly going to step up the demand on the transportation industry of Frederick County and Montgomery County Maryland.

If you're one of those with out ambition (aka slacker) and all that demand is just going to ruin your day, here's a funny story that will make your dreary day seem like a walk in the park:

If you don't laugh out loud after you read this you are in
a coma. This is even funnier when you realize it's real.
Next time you have a bad day at work think of this guy.

Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in
Louisiana. He performs underwater repairs on offshore
drilling rigs.

Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it
to radio station 103.2 on FM dial in Ft. Wayne, Indiana,
which was sponsoring a worst job experience contest.
Needless to say, she won.

Hi Sue,

Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother.

Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been
feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my
dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after
all.

Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must
bore you with a few technicalities of my job.

As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I
wear a suit to the office. It's a wet suit. This time of
year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is
this: We have a diesel powered industrial water heater.
This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the
sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature.

It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose,
which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn
good plan, and I've used it several times with no
complaints.

What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is
take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wet suit.
This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like
working in a Jacuzzi.

Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt
started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only
made things worse. Within a few seconds my butt started to
burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage
was done. In agony I realized what had happened.

The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped
it into my suit. Now, since I don't have any hair on my
back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it However, the crack
of my butt was not as fortunate.

When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually
grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my butt.

I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the
communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact
that he, along with five other divers, were all laughing
hysterically.

Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to
make three agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling
thirty-five minutes before I could reach the surface to
begin my chamber dry decompression. When I arrived at the
surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet.

As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of
laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream
and told me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the
chamber.

The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two
days because my butt was swollen shut.

So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about
how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up
your butt. face='Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans, Sans-serif'
size=3

Now repeat to yourself, 'I
love my job, I love my job, I love my job.'

Now whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself, is this a
jellyfish bad day? May you NEVER have a jellyfish bad day!
