GWP was about the easiest part of the trip, but I dunno if there is construction or anything going on there now.
Fred-neck was nice, but still a different world for a midwestern kid like myself; our apartment rent there was more than a hundred a month more than my mortgage.
I lived/grew up in Germantown and I worked in Rockville, Gaithersburg for many years. I then bought a house in Frederick and the 270 commute was the worst. I now have a job in Frederick and the commute is amazing.
I'm in hopes of applying to the Airlines by next year. BWI would be great because 70 isn't bad from Frederick. IAD wouldn't be too bad although Point of Rocks is pretty tough. DCA is the tough one because traffic is so unpredictable, although it is very predictable that you will probably need to leave 2 hours ahead of schedule.
