QEW to Buffalo.

After customs veer right to onramp
for I-190.

- I-190 to I-90 West/Albany. A left exit,
so get at least into middle lane soon
after you hit I-90.

- I-90 (toll road) to I-390 South
which becomes 17 and not always a
superhighway, 6 traffic lights
in Horseheads.

- 17 to I-81 South

[For scenery take the Big Bend exit
shortly after Bingamton. The McDonalds'
has picnic tables out back on the Big Bend
of the Susquehannah. Quite pretty.]

- I-81 to I-83 South

- I-695 to bypass Baltimore and to
catch I-95 to the Washington Beltway
which is I-95 on the east and I-495
on the west.


Nice route. Other altenates would be to take the new ferry from
Toronto to Rochester and catch I-380 there, or to take 401 to the 1000
Islands Bridge and catch I-81 there.

BTW, I hope the original poster is aware that Washington has three
airports which are far apart. IAD-Dulles, which is located FAR in the
suburbs to the NW of town, DCA-Reagan National, which is located on a
manmade island in the Potomac river just yards from all of the
government buildings and Arlington Cemetary, and
BWI-Baltimore-Washington, which is in the Baltimore suburbs.

Not to mention that the boat was just seized by the sheriff in Rochester.
