Best route to travel from Washington DC to san Francisco in January?
We have to move our cars. How are the freeways in the winter on the East/West routes? Which is the best route?

Answer 1 :
The most direct route would be to get on I-70 into Pennsylvania, get on the PA Turnpike heading wast into Ohio, and stay on I-80 west all the way. It's 2328 miles, by Yahoo Maps. But this route will take you across all the Midwestern and Rocky Mountain states (IN, IL, IA, NE, WY, UT, NV) which are likely to get heavy snowfall. Another possibility is to take I-95 down to Richmond, I-85 to Montgomery, Alabama; I-65 to Mobile, AL; I-10 west to Los Angeles, and US-101 north. This will take quite a bit longer, but should get you around the worst weather. Go to Yahoo Maps to plot a route.
Answer 2 :
One would suggest a more southern route, as I-80, although more direct, cuts across Middle America in the dead of winter, so snow storms are forecast

Ideas on how to do this? Travel to Washington with my car(but not driving)?
I need to travel from VA to Washington(state). But I need to take my car. Now I understand their is auto train from FL to DC or something. But from what I gather there isn't one to Washington, correct? Other than take my car directly, is there some way I could travel to Washington with my car?

Answer 1 :
Fly, then hire a car.
Answer 2 :
If you don't want to put that many miles on your car, I would suggest renting a U-Haul and towing your car. I've traveled cross country but did not want to put the miles on my car. I figured spending $450.00 to rent and tow my car cross country was cheaper than adding more than one-thousand miles on my vehicle. The repair and tune-up costs woudld be expensive.
Answer 3 :
No, there is no auto train coming out west. You can either hire someone to do the driving for you or hire someone to move the car for you. There are auto transport companies that will put your car onto a truck and deliver it to Washington State for you.

How long would it take to travel from Washington, DC to Boston by buggy or horse in 1810?
Given that the person is a Congressman, and would have a bit of money for accommodations and rest if necessary. Just a business trip--not a rush. Thanks!

Answer 1 :
let's see. considering fair weather and comfortable cash, then it would take months probably 2 at most, since the rivers have winding route. or did you have already traveled there through "your" theory of space-time? ...lol just quipping have a nice day
Answer 2 :
the "Boston Post Road"....what is now US Route 1...was pretty much in place by then....but not continuous enough for travel by carriage.....so on horseback, in good conditions, about 15 miles a day, allowing for ferry crossings of all the rivers in between,,,,,call it 10 days to 2 weeks. This is one reason that even though the election is in November, Inauguration of Presidents and Congress originally wasn't until March......it took a LONG time to get anywhere back then. Travel times didn't radically decrease until the railroads started up in the 1830's; indeed, Washington's army didn't move any faster than Cesar's.

About what is the least expensive but comfortable way to travel from Washington DC to NY

What is the least expensive but comfortable way to travel from Washington DC to NY?
We won´t drive, but were thinking if there is a train, that would be great.

Answer 1 :
Least expensive is driving. I guess your comfort is determined by the size of your car. Amtrak should go from Union Station to New York, but I thought it was rather pricey. $69per person for a coach seat on the regular 3 to 3.5hr ride or $146 for the Acela EACH WAY so double the prices I just stated - - and return trips could cost more. www.amtrak.com
Answer 2 :
less cost Grey house next Amtrak Air is probably most expensive and most efficient.
Answer 3 :
Least cost is the bus. But to me, the best value is Amtrak. Leave from Union Station, just north of the Capitol Hill area in DC, and arrive midtown, beneath Madison Sq. Garden. No long commute from the airport - couldn't be easier.
Answer 4 :
There is a train that goes from central DC to New York, but as another poster suggested it is expensive. It is the most comfortable, and IMHO the most convenient. Greyhound and Peter Pan Trailways busses are less expensive and still comfortable. The least expensive is the Chinatown busses, of which there are many, that travel between the two. I am including some links to some of the companies that provide them. Generally they are about $20 each way and $30 round trip, or less than half the cost of the train.
Answer 5 :
i think u should think relay well and search goggle for the comfortable way to go there so that's Wat i relay experiences
Answer 6 :
Greyhound is pretty cheap and fairly comfortable. They have frequent buses to Port Authority for about $20 a person, each way. The DC bus station is pretty nasty, but you shouldn't have to be there for more than 45 minutes or so. For comfort, Amtrak is the way to go, even if it is more expensive.

What other bus lines can I take to travel from Washington DC to Cleveland beside Greyhound?
The only bus company I know of that travels directly from DC to Cleveland is Greyhound. Are there any others? Edit: thank you to those who have answered my question so far! I looked up Peter Pan bus line, unfortunately, it does not go to Cleveland. :(
