A question for folks in there area...

My flight is supposed to get in at 10:06pm tonight at BWI.  The WMATA
website's (awesome) RideGuide feature says I should do the following to
get to my hotel (the Key Bridge Marriott):

   Take B30 GREENBELT STATION
   Depart:  BWI AIRPORT BUS STOP @PIER E LOWER LEVEL   At 10:20 PM
   Arrive:  GREENBELT METRO STATION  At 10:49 PM

   Take GREEN LINE Towards BRANCH AVE
   Depart:  GREENBELT METRO STATION   At 11:10 PM
   Arrive:  L'ENFANT PLAZA METRO STATION  At 11:38 PM

   Take BLUE LINE Towards FRANCONIA
   Depart:  L'ENFANT PLAZA METRO STATION  At 11:48 PM
   Arrive:  ROSSLYN METRO STATION  At 12:00 AM

   Walk 0.25 miles NW to MARRIOTT KEY BRIDGES
      Walk 2 blocks N on N MOORE ST.
      Turn left on LEE HWY.
      Walk 1 block W on LEE HWY.

And for the return trip on Sunday, it says if I want to get to BWI around
6:30pm (flight leaves 8:45), I should leave Rosslyn Metro Station at 5:03pm.

Does that sound about correct?  Is it allowing enough time?

(...) And a follow-up question... I asked the WMATA RideGuide what's the best way for me to get from my hotel to the GMU Arlington campus and it said this: Take ORANGE LINE Towards VIENNA/FAIRFAX -GMU Depart: ROSSLYN METRO STATION At 09:05 AM (...)

(...) [...] (...) That reminds me a lot of the Deutsche Bahn web site ((URL) I used to plan a lot of my travels while in Germany last summer. Imagine a site for an entire *country* that good. Including not only the national train lines but also (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.loc.us.dc, lugnet.loc.us.va.arl)

(...) Sounds to me like it is cutting it extremely fine. On a Thursday evening, this plan might very well have you catching the absolutely last Blue Line headed in that direction, and it depends on you catching the shuttle 14 minutes after arrival (...)
