travelgo Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Flying into Baltimore Airport in May. Then on to DC area for a week for sightseeing and return to Baltimore Airport. Need help on how to get from Baltimore to DC and back. Also where to stay? No car. Rapid Rewards tickets can't fly to DC but can fly to Baltimore. Any suggestions? Link to comment

travelgo Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Thanks for help on getting from Baltimore to DC. However, I am new at this. Am ready to bid. Want to stay in DC probaby Convention Ctr-Capital Hill area with check in 5/4 and check out 5/11 near metro. Of course, budget is $100. I can't seem to figure out how I find out what hotels are what stars. Thanks in advance. Link to comment

travelgo Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Yes, I hope I understand re-bidding.Zone1st Convention Ctr-Capitol Hill2nd White House-Downtown 3rd Georgetown-Foggy Bottom4 starsMost importantly regardless of star or location (expect for close to Metro) we need a clean-safe hotel, close to Metro and $100 or less. Senior citizens.Thanks for your help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Just to be clear, the aboe are your zone preferences and not your re-bid zones, correct?I believe i have read elsewhere that while Foggy Bottom has nearby metro stops... Georgetown does not (somebody please confirm or correct if i'm wrong).What is more important to you... preferred zone or price? (and do you want the Georgetown/Foggy Bottom zone?)

travelgo Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Yes they are my zone preferences.Drop GeorgetownPrice most important Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 You have 5 re-bids in Washington DC and this is how i would proceed:Select 4* White House - Downtown...Bid $75 if rejected add Convention Center...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone....Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone....Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone....Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone....Bid $100.I have left off one re-bid zone as given the high prices i just saw while researching this stay, i'm less than certain of the success you will have with a $100 maximum bid. The above will still give you an opportunity to try again if you are rejected with the above... not sure if that will be your gameplan or if you'd rather lower your star rating or SPLIT YOUR BID... but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.Any questions regarding the above feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
