If you’re visiting the Washington, D.C. area Nov. 14–15, Green Line trains from D.C. will end at Hyattsville Crossing. For the University of Maryland, use the free local shuttle from there to College Park–U of Md. For Greenbelt, there’s also a free express shuttle from Hyattsville Crossing. The express skips College Park.

The Silver Line still serves Dulles both days. WMATA says to expect 20 minutes between Silver Line trains during the weekend track work. If you’re taking the Blue Line from Reagan National, trains will end at Foggy Bottom–GWU.

Hopefully no rain in Tahiti, they have a lot of rock sidewalks and my shoes were like sliding on them when it was raining and I did fall a few times. The hotel we stayed at pre-cruise gave us big umbrellas to use while out for the day, but that did not stop my falling. I walk a great deal so I was not hurt, but a homeless man helped me up both times. Yes, there are quite a few homeless people that would really like to have your food storage containers you take home from restaurants.

Thank you, we do have a car reserved for Moorea and our cruise ship has graciously agreed to let us off at Moorea. Looking forward to it and glad you had a great experience

We did a 17 day Tahiti cruise earlier this year, followed by 4 days in Bora Bora. It was nice in Bora Bora, but quite expensive. We did one of those over the water bungalows which I enjoyed a lot, and the place we stayed had a "free" breakfast that was delightful every day. We did not rent a car, walked to shops and restaurants. We did have a stop at Moorea, and there was more to do there, but I think you would require a car there. I am quite certain you could rent a taxi very easily, too. Travel agents that were on our cruise were surprised we did our after trip in Bora Bora instead of Moorea. We did get on a boat from the cruise ship to Bora Bora, and it did cost a little more, but they retrieved our bags from inside the terminal and they were already on the boat headed to Bora Bora. Then we took another boat from Bora Bora to Tahiti at the conclusion of our stay. Hope your trip is as memorable as ours was.

We be leaving for Tahiti and the Tuamotus Dec26 for an 11 day cruise.
Looking for anyone with experience on this cruise line or area.
We have 2 days in Bora Bora and I am trying to decide on what kind of tour or do we rent a car or just hire a taxi and go it alone?
I have also booked 5 days at the end on Moorea as that lsland looks glorious ( hoping for a Kauai feel)

Appreciate any past experience.

Yes Waypoints formelrly CYOA. We have our boats registered to go to the BVI's as well but a growing number of clients opt to stay in the USVI and teh SVI.

If you’re visiting the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry or the Obama Presidential Center from downtown Chicago, CTA’s #10 express serves both year-round, including weekends. It runs from North Michigan Avenue through the Loop. The CTA route page lists the last northbound #10 at 6:10 p.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m. on weekends. For a later return, check the #6 Jackson Park Express. It also serves both destinations and runs substantially later, but check the stop and departure for your date.

If you’re flying through LAX and taking Metro, the C and K Lines stop at LAX/Metro Transit Center. From there, take the free Metro Connector Shuttle from bays 1 or 2 to your terminal. Going the other way, look for the pink LAX Shuttle sign on the lower arrivals level and board the Metro Connector Shuttle.

LAX lists shuttle hours as 4 a.m. to 1 a.m. daily, with buses about every 10 minutes on average. The airport’s SkyLink people mover is still in testing and certification as of Nov. 7. For a future trip, check the airport’s page for any opening announcement.
