We want to help you unwind and enjoy every minute of a hassle-free vacation. One suggestion: Make the most of your getaway to Maryland by getting a head start on other traffic. Leave a little earlier to avoid peak travel times, especially if Maryland's Eastern Shore beaches are on your agenda. Then, when you get where you need to go, consider sticking around just a little longer. This will allow for additional relaxation and an opportunity to savor more of our fair state
