While attending the conference and during the lunch time I visited the Fort McHenry, National Monument and Historic Shrine, Baltimore, MD.

I walked around the National Monument and saw a short movie about Francis Scott Key and his inspiration in writing the National Anthem.

Travel to Baltimore, MD

Saturday, March 05, 2011

I started my travel to Baltimore, MD to attend the 55th Annual Biophysical Society Meeting at the Baltimore Convention Center, Baltimore, MD.

I left Tallahassee around mid morning via US Airways and traveled to Charlotte, NC. I was accompanied by another colleague. Our connecting flight to BWI was less than 45 minutes from the time of our TLH flight arrival. However, after rushing to the departing terminal we were told that our flight will not leave on-time anyway due to mechanical problems. We were then put on another flight after 1 1/2 h delay and arrived at BWI late in the afternoon.

We both took the MTA LightRail to the Convention Center and finished our Registration. I went around the Poster session checking out several interesting posters.
