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?

Oh my if Boston only had a MBTA site this good!

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 at BWI! But the site knows the scheduling of trains better than I do.
Especially on a weekend there can be 20 minutes before trains, though.
