Don’t take surface transportation they said. Morning traffic is a mess they said. Take the train, it is faster and more reliable they said. So T3 left the Hyatt early this morning bound for Pittsburgh and armed with details about the Red Line and the Green Line and Buses…
Unfortunately the combination of unfamiliarity with the system and the lines not running as often early in the am as they do later got T3 to BWI just in time to get delayed through security and finally miss his flight. “No problem,” the lady behind the US Airways counter says, “there are several later flights.” But no room on the next one. Standby on the next…T3 didn’t make that one either. Ah, room on a flight finally…one that would get T3 to Pittsburgh about 2:45 which is AFTER the event he was going to. So back to the hotel in DC he went. The whole morning blown.
