BALTIMORE

Another place that is easy to get to via cheap airfares or driving. I have always found a room downtown for under $125 a night. The city is easy to navigate and public transportation is surprisingly efficient. Baltimore has a similar feel to it as Boston does being an old eastern seaboard city. A great city.

Camden Yards is still one of the best ballparks in existence. A part of the downtown renaissance and this is the major league’s footprint for Retro parks. A good view is everywhere and after spending many a game in old Memorial Stadium that is an understatement. The ticket prices are reasonable and the food is unique to the area. Just an exhilarating baseball experience.

Camden has some real food favorites for me so it gives one the opportunity to try some regional variety – both inside and outside the park. Nice to just walk around during the game or to watch batting practice to see if any close to warehouse shots take place.

Seeing the Red Sox is similar to having a home game in Boston as Red Sox fans will travel to take advantage of a mini vacation and seats that do not require selling an internal organ to purchase.

The real treat is to extend your trip. Fly into (or take the train) to Baltimore, enjoy the series and take the shuttle train to Washington, D.C. Then after a visit to D.C. fly home from Reagan.

Travel Tip: Babe Ruth Museum, Lexington Market, Civil/Revolutionary/1812 war history, the Power Plant.
