Day 181 – Extra Security

I found a cheap flight into Washington so I’m going that route this morning. I finished packing my stuff once I got home from last night’s game and had to catch the bus to the airport since the subway hadn’t started up yet.

I had to connect in Montreal and the waiting area at the gate was enclosed off w/the door locked when I got there. I found another place to sit and wait before coming back closer to the departure time. Apparently they have extra security for flights to Washington. They had a couple security people there when you walk in and they scan you with the hand scanners, make you take off your shoes, they do a full search of your carry-ons.

Once in Washington I had to take the subway to the train station where I could catch a train to Baltimore. It is a little over an hr train ride.

I was staying downtown again but in a different hotel. I was still within walking distance of the ballpark, just a little further east.

I was worried about getting the games in this wkend b/c of the rain they have been calling for up the east coast. I would hate to lose a game since at this point they won’t bother making it up as it doesn’t matter to the playoffs. It would suck to have to say I went to all 161 games. So far so good though, as they got through 6+ innings tonight w/the Jays ahead, enough to make it an official game.
