Hi Mike, my name is Dustin and I too are a ballpark chaser.  I will be wrapping up my quest next spring when I head Boston, both New Yorks, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington with some buddies for a 40th Bday trip.  I have previously been to Fenway, Yankee Stadium and Shea, but the friends I am traveling with have not and I have to re-do both New Yorks anyway.  We are talking about adding PNC Park to this trip as well, I was there a few years back and just loved it.  I will eventually have to re-do Atlanta, but that will have to wait a couple of years as I have some better multi-city roadtrips in the back of my mind before I head back to Georgia.

I remembered reading your blog about a trip out east and have a couple of questions that I hoped you could answer.  1) I aaume youe drove from Boston through New York and then onto Baltimore.  I have done some research and the drives all seem pretty short, were you able to make it form city to city in good time or is the traffic in that part of the US a nightmare?  2) I was wondering if you were able to find a decent hotel at a decent rate in Boston and New York?  Pretty much everything I see is outragously priced.

Thank you for any help/advice you can offer.
