Glad you had a good time.

This is a post is a general notice, not picking on anyone in particular. In the past few months I keeping hear musicals referred to as PLAYS. The Book of Mormon is a musical, not a play! It won a Tony for Best MUSICAL. I hear this on TV too all the time. Did "musical" get taken out of the dictionary and replaced by play? Glad you enjoyed it-I thought it was absolutely brilliant and laughed my a** off (and I'm not a South Park kinda girl!).

Thanks. Skiergirl, you're upset with my comparison of skating and skiing aren't you?

A musical is a play with music used to advance the story (dictionary.com)

I hope we are coming to NY in late Aug. - Sept. Coming for the US Open. Maybe a side trip to DC too! Any info will be appreciated.

"Is there also an option of a train?"

www.amtrak.com is the train option.

The 2 best bus lines connecting NYC and DC are Megabus and Bolt bus. From downtown to downtown, I would give the edge to Bolt. Both require a reservation made online - you can try to just show up and if there is space on the bus you may be able to buy a ticket, but it is chancy. For the most part, the earlier the reservation, the cheaper the price. In theory, you can pay as little as $1 although I don't know of anyone who has bought one that cheap. I usually use Megabus just because of its convenience to Baltimore where it stops and has a free overnight lot - I usually make a reservation a week or so before the trip and last payed $19 each way, a fraction of the Amtrak price. The tolls to NYC recently increased to the price may have gone up a bit. It takes about 4 hours +- depending on traffic. Don't even consider the "chinatown" buses.
