   Be advised that airplane prices can flucuate wildly from day to day,
   and that fuel costs are going up sharply.

  An airport shuttle might cost about $20-30 one way into the Columbia
  area.  I cannot get their web page to respond right now, so I'm not
  really sure of that quote.

  There is not much in the way of mass transit between BWI and Columbia.

  I just poked at www.budget.com on the web and they showed me a four
  day rental price for a compact car of $55 + 28.87 = $83.87 (total for
  four days).   Pickup and return at BWI.   Not bad price, IMO.  Avis
  and Hertz gave prices at least twice that much.

  Plus -- you will have need of a car to get around once you get to your
  motel.


MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: Karhi Poori
 Categories: Breads, Indian
      Yield: 50 Servings
 
      1 c  Flour, whole wheat pastry
      1 c  Flour
      1 ts Salt
      1 tb Pepper, black; coarse
  3 1/2 tb Butter, sweet; softened
           Oil; for frying
 
  Sift the flours and salt into a bowl; add the pepper and cut in the
  butter until the mixture resembles coarse oatmeal. Now slowly add
  very hot water--about a half cup plus three tablespoons--and begin to
  gather the flour together. Squeeze the dough into a ball. It should
  just about hold together. Do *not* knead. Break the dough into about
  fifty balls. Keep them covered with a lightly dampened tea towel.
  Heat about 1-1/2 to 2 inches of oil in a wok over a medium flame.
  While the oil is heating, begin to roll out the pooris. Take each
  dough ball, flatten it, and roll it into a very rough round, about
  two inches in diameter. (Don't worry if the edges are ragged or
  cracked). Roll and fry as many pooris as the wok will conveniently
  hold in one layer. Fry two to three minutes a side, until the pooris
  are a very light sandy color on both sides, and crisp. Crank the heat
  up or down as needed. Remove the pooris and drain on paper towels or
  newspaper (or both). Allow them to cool and store in an airtight
  container. They won't need refrigeration, and should stay fresh for
  several weeks.
