Try the Rabbit Transit. It will take you from Timonium, MD to York. Pretty cheap and has several trips a day. To get to Timonium, try the Light Rail, which is very cheap and picks up near UMBC.
Have you tried going through Philadelphia (or another city in Pennsylvania)? You might have more luck with that.
Blues Heaven Foundation at 2120 S Michigan Ave. The site of the old Chess Studios. A small museum, but a chance to stand where the greats stood. Greats like Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, Chuck Berry, Willie Dixon, Buddy Guy, Otis Spann, The Rolling Stones.....They all recorded there.The museum is not new, but I bet that you never been there.
Theres tons of stuff to do! You can go to Navy Pier and go to their winter festival or whatever they call it, there is ice skating in millenium park, there is the macy s windows, and the macys store itself is all decorated for christmas, you can go see the Daley Plaza christmas tree and the little Chicago Christkindlmarket that has little shops and food, you can go look at the lights on Michigan Ave, you can try to catch the holiday subway. It is a red line train that is all decked out to look like santa s train, with lots of christmas decorations and stuff, very fun.
there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
The answer before mine is a good one, just thought I d add that continental.com have some great deals and because their hub is Houston, you ll always have a flight going there. They re pretty reasonable for flights, but it all depends on the time of year you want to travel. Now is the most expensive time to want to fly anywhere.
I would check out Continental Airlines! They are by far my most favorite, and their main hub is for Houston (IAH), so they ALWAYS have cheap and frequent flights going to/from Houston-IAH.
Go to orbitz.com and cheaptickets,com and priceline.com and search, Be flexible as to dates and time of day. Try also southwestairlines.com
I can t believe no one mentioned Southwest Airlines. I prefer to fly Continental but if you re looking for cheap you can fly round trip for a couple hundred dollars sometimes.
I prefer Expedia to most of the others.
Good previous answers but I would add http://www.yapta.com to compare prices.
