Do You Know How to Travel?? Saturday, June 18, 2011

Watch out for Toll Roads and Toll

Bridges.  Be sure to set your navigation system to avoid tollways if you are in an RV

pulling a tow vehicle.  What would cost a car $4.00 will easily cost and RV pulling a tow vehicle $16.00 (yes, even though if you unhooked and drove each across independently it would be $8.00)! 

At one tow bridge, we paid $24.00!!

Moving on down the highway toward Philadelphia gave me time to reflect on using a subway in DC. 

First and foremost, you should know that the subway doors open and close rather quickly.  If you are in the doorway, they will shut on you.  If you happen to have a backpack on when the doorway closes on you - you will be stuck!  The only way to get the doors to open up is to pound on them.  Trying to slide them open will not work!

Second, be sure to catch the subway before 8:00 pm on a Friday night.  There is a definite difference in clientele!!
