An Unusual (Unique?) Question About Online Check-In

[slappy magoo]

I'm rooting for you on this one. I've done the long drive a few times myself & I know how much you just want to get to the room and close your eyes & decompress. May you get a nice quiet room.

Oh a small aside, depending on when you're leaving for your trip you're going to want to look at traffic on I-95 South. About 20-30 miles south of DC it's a total grade a mongolian charlie foxtrot. You're looking at major back-ups because of 30 miles of construction. It's a mad house.

Alternate routes would include Highway-1 and ride that parallel to I-95. However, as always, consider google-traffic & waze reports to help determine when/if this is the right route for you.

Thanks, we've got both google traffic and waze handy. Also have the mapquest app and if I need to see a big electronic map I'll just hotspot my phone and open up my laptop.

The plan (which I'm sure will be insufficient) is to leave our home near the NJ/PA border around 3 on a Friday afternoon. Barring any emergency bathroom breaks (with a 6 year old and an in-process-of-getting-toilet-trained 2 year old, no guarantees there), we're gonna stop for dinner in Laurel MD around 5:30. While we eat, I'll see what's up on waze and other traffic sites. If both 95/495 and 295 are messed up, I'm going to backtrack a bit, feel my way down to 301 and take it until we get to RIchmond. I could be very wrong but I'm hoping a summer Friday in DC (during an election year), a lot of people will have already split the scene by the time we get there, and at least one route won't be too awful.

You might be OK. Key word being might, depending on how long you stop to eat dinner in Laurel. Your issue isn't going to be the loop 95/495/295 it's south of the loop & before Richmond. But things could change drastically between now and then. One thing you might want to take a look at is this. Hop on google maps around a 5:30 on a Friday and do the whole how long will it take to get from A->B and see how the current traffic looks and look for potential bottlenecks

So how did it turn out @slappy magoo ?
