<p>One transportation option for breaks that may be worth considering is this:</p>
<p>Cornell-Bethesda</a> Bus</p>
<p>I am in no way connected with the people who run this bus service, but it has turned out to be extremely convenient (not to mention cheap) for my daughter and many other students from our area (except last December, when the buses arrived in mid-blizzard, but that's another story). </p>
<p>The buses almost always sell out, often many weeks before the actual trips, so sign up early if you're interested.</p>
