Are we there yet?
Just in time for your weekend travel plans, several transportation groups compiled a report on the summer tourist destinations with the worst summer traffic delays. (The press release is here.)
The top 10:
1. The Oregon Coast
2. Tidewater region of Virginia
3. Maryland/Delaware shore
4. Branson, Mo.
5. Outer Banks of North Carolina
6. Cape Cod, Mass.
7. New Jersey shore
8. Napa Valley, Calif.
9. Pennsylvania Dutch and Amish Country
10. Catskill Mountains region in New York
Asheville made the list at number 14; Myrtle Beach ranked 23.
As I wait for the 5:00 whistle to head to Baltimore this weekend, I'm debating when I should leave - tonight or tomorrow morning. Either way, I'll bet I-95 up near D.C. will be a parking lot.

Don't take 95. Head up 220 to Roanoke and get on 81. I can't remember exactly where you cut over to Baltimore (it's not 66), but we did the trip last weekend from Greensboro to Baltimore in under 6 hours going that route.

Thanks for the tip. You made good time with that route. I'm going to have to try that sometime.
My plans have changed a little bit and I'll be headed first to D.C. to spend some time with friends there.
Now if there's anyway I could helicopter right into D.C. ...
