Driving takes about 8-10 hrs. Go Airtran.. $39 each way out of BWI. I fly up to Boston all the time for the hell of it....
2 :
Julian is correct on the 8-10 hours. Its about 4 from Balt to NYC then another 4 to Boston. Traffic on 95 can sometimes be brutal going through Ct. Flight cost vary. Check rates on line

I've done it in about 9 hours down leaving early enough in the AM to miss traffic in Boston and Hartford. I did 12 hours back but we got hit with major road maintenance traffic in PA and at Hartford around midnight. (And I think we stopped an hour for dinner.) Even with the 9 hours, we got lost around Scranton, PA. (Thanks to bad directions trying to leave.) So it wasn't bad time at all. Fastest up or down will to be to avoid NYC and Beltway traffic. We went around NYC both times, got stuck on the Beltway coming back. If you time it right and don't get lost, then it could be 8 or 9 hours with minimal traffic. If you hit a lot of traffic then it can be about 12. Average is about 10 hours with normal traffic. Flights will vary. Airtran is around 40 each way if you book ahead, unless you book immediately and have discounts then it will be slightly more. Regardless of the airline, for a cheap flight you will probably be paying around 50-80 each way if you book now to leave immediately. I would advise to look at websites and compare. I've found American flights round trip to BWI that were in the same ballpark. If you really want to get the best deal for an immediate flight then you might want to consider flying into Manchester-Boston or TF Green on Southwest, and communting to Boston. If it is for a good amount to time ahead, the sooner you book the cheaper it gets and you'll find a cheap flight from BWI directly into Logan(BOS). BWI into Logan is about an hour flight give or take with no major delays. Last four times I took flights to and from it was about 45 minutes in the air and about 5 or 10 on the runways and at the gates. So it is about an hour and 15 minutes at the max.

It depends when you leave but it will take at least 8 hours to drive. Flying will take under 2 hours.
5 :
Driving for 8-12 hours is about right, depending on traffic / time of day. If you fly, I think the biggest determinant is where you are staying. If you are staying in or close to Boston, you are probably better off going to Logan. If you are staying outside of Boston , you may want to consider Providence or Manchester. You can fly for $39 on Southwest, and there are many flights per day. Also, you will find cheaper ground transportation once you get there, and less traffic congestion. of course, if you are going into Boston and want to save money on ground transportation, you can always take the subway from Logan. You can learn about that on MBTA.com. Look for the Blue line, as that's the line that goes to Logan. Allow plenty of time though, it can be very slow. Again, flights are about 90 minutes, regardless of the airport you choose.

Amtrak's Acela can do the trip in 6 hours. Beats driving and the crowded, delayed and tense skies?

I bought an airline ticket from Houston to Baltimore, what does this mean for fare rules
I bought an airline ticket from Houston to Baltimore, what does this mean for fare rules?
"Fare Rule(s) Valid only on Southwest Airlines. NON REFUNDABLE/ STANDBY REQ UPGRADE TO YL All travel involving funds from this Confirm no. must be completed by 05/08/09. Any change to this itinerary may result in a fare increase." Does this mean I may not get the flight unless someone else doesn't go? and if I don't get the flight, will I end up not paying?

It means 1. the ticket is non refundable. 2. if you want to stand by for another flight at the airport, you will have to upgrade your ticket to a Y or L class. 3. you have one year to use the value (funds) on this ticket (either fly, or apply value to another purchase). if you don't, the value is gone May 2009. It means you are confirmed on the flight.

It would help if I knew how old you were. I would talk to your grandma and ask her why not. Maybe she has a good reason behind it. One way that may work is to tell her you want to take the cat to prove you are responsible. To show that she can trust you. And to show more of your own independence.
2 :
First, be certain your grandmother or anyone else in her household isn't allergic to cats. She might have friends or other relatives who visit her occasionally who also may be allergic to cat dander. Second, show her you have worked out all the details and thought of all the possible problems and have solutions for them all. Third, find out what are the airline's regulations (I do know your cat MUST have ALL shots in order to fly and there are stringent requirements for carriers) and fees for flying with your cat. Third, find out what are the risks to your cat of flying. When you know all that, you'll be armed with information to allay whatever fears your grandmother might have for and/or about your cat. Perhaps your grandmother has these kinds of concerns: Is the cat litter-box trained? Will there be an unpleasant smell? What kind of litter-box situation will grandma be required to provide? Does she have the means and space to provide it? Is your cat long or short haired? Is your grandma fussy about cat hair all over her furniture and/or clothes? Is your cat prone to hairball regurgitation? Your grandma may be wondering if your cat is an indoor cat or an outdoor cat. If it's an indoor cat, will grandma think it'll be under foot all the time? Will it caterwaul through the house late at night when she's trying to sleep? Could she be worried that your cat has fleas? What kind of outdoor situation would your cat face? City streets and traffic? Rural or suburban areas with predators prowling around looking for a tasty meal? Might it bring back into the house ticks or other insect pests? Cats usually eat many small meals throughout the day. Who will keep its food and water bowls full and clean? Who will pay for the food? What if the cat gets sick? Can you find out the nearest veterinarian to your grandmother's house? Who will have to deal with a sick cat going to the vets, you or your grandmother? Cats pretty much like an unchanging and familiar daily routine. How adaptable is your cat to new environments? W Would taking it out of its home environment, putting it through the trauma of an airplane ride and then being thrust into a whole new home and set of humans be something your cat can easily tolerate? Will it get homesick? Will it be locked up in its carrier all day and night? Also, ask yourself if this trip is in the best interests of your cat. Your cat won't know this is a temporary arrangement. Good luck. Holy mackerel! This is a whole different thing. All answerers here (including me) read your question as if you were flying from your mother's to your grandma's. Is this a permanent move? Are you going to be living with your mom, now? Either way, your grandma knows something of the concerns the answers here have written about. Flying is REALLY difficult for a cat. It isn't in the best interests of the cat. And if you're flying round trip, it's doubly hard on a cat. If you're making a permanent change of residence, then I understand you wanting to take your pet with you. If not, leave the poor kitty with grandma. You (and especially the cat) will be the better for it. Your grandma knows best.

You can't. She has her reasons. I know I hate it when family members visit and bring their pets. The pets are in totally unfamiliar surroundings and their bodies are affected by the traveling. So they end up making messes they would not normally make at home. And it is gross. I do not have pets inside for a reason. Whether they clean up the mess or not, it goes through to the carpet pad and will always be there. It is rude. Then there is the pet hair. I do not want to have pet hair on my couches or clothing or anywhere. But even if those are not her reasons, she doesn't need a reason. It is her home, her rules. And if you do not like them you can stay home. And, it really is not in your car's best interest. Travel is hard on pets. So is the change in routine and environment. If you love your pet you do not want to put it through unnecessary stress. Leave it at home where it can be itself.
