BWI ain't so bad... IIRC, (for BrickFest 2000) I was able to take a
train from BWI to Union Station for about $5 and then take the subway
from there to the campus for $1.50.  BWI always seems to have cheaper
airfare, at least from Cleveland.  However, I think the train that I
took didn't run on Sunday, so I had to get a ride to the airport.

BWI (Baltimore/Washington Int'l., for those who don't know) is by far
the best way to get to the DC area, in my experience.  You can often
get nonstop flights on United from SJC (San Jose, CA) for under $200
round-trip, sometimes as low as $158.  My wife's family lives in
central PA (Lancaster & Williamsport) and she flies into BWI and rents
a car when she visits them, because it's so much cheaper than any
other airport (especially for a nonstop).

They have a train station at the airport (something that depressingly
few US airports have, BTW), and if you want to rent a car that's
really easy too - the car rental place is right next to the terminal.

BWI rocks.
