PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES


Neal: He says we're going the wrong way...
Del: Oh, he's drunk. How would he know
where we're going?

There are several ways one can travel to Chapel Hill. To avoid going the wrong way,
see below:

PLANES
The closest airport is Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU)...believe it or not, you can fly direct to Toronto from RDU. Want the best flight deals, try using our favorite search engine, Kayak.com.

TRAINS
Amtrak trains travel all the way from Boston to Durham. It's a beautiful trip, especially south of DC. However, if you decide to take the train, be prepared to add and extra hour (or five) to your trip. Nine times out of ten, the trains run a little late. Still contemplating the romantic idea of traveling the old-fashioned way, check out the schedules at Amtrak.com.

AUTOMOBILES
Driving? Coming from the West...take I-40. Coming from the North...take I-90 to I-85. Looking to rent? The airport has not one, not two, but eight(!) car rental company options: http://www.rdu.com/groundtrans/rentalcars.htm. Need directions...check out Google Maps.
