But as I mentioned you can get on at lodging and ride it to the Terminal for $1.00.

You could take it from the Terminal to the main gate and walk from there to the Inn. To answer Phyllis' comment, I would walk the distance from lodging to the Terminal and viceversa without problems, but not when I'm carrying a large size bag and a laptop, and it's cold. Also Phyllis, I never had problems with carrying my luggage on the bus. It could be a problem if the bus is full, but my experience has been that the bus has always been almost empty.

That much money...really?? Isn't that a distance of one to one and a half miles tops? I've never taken this cab ride but that seems awfully expensive for such a short ride. I'll think I'd walk it if I couldn't get the bus. _   Phyllis DeLancey Senior Member Username: Phyllis Post Number: 2667 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 99.72.137.68 Posted on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 - 11:53 pm:    Tony we walk most of the time, but just in case, can you take your bags on the bus?   Tony Cabrera Senior Member Username: Tonyc Post Number: 1519 Registered: 08-2006 Posted From: 72.50.49.223 Posted on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 - 05:19 pm:    And another good thing is that the commercial bus coming from town (Dover City) stops there on week days and you can take it to the Terminal for $1.00. Usually, a cab ride from Eagles Rest Inn to the Terminal could cost you between $15 and $20, depending on the cab company.

Yes it is nice.   Tony Cabrera Senior Member Username: Tonyc Post Number: 1497 Registered: 08-2006 Posted From: 64.237.200.159 Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2010 - 11:30 pm:    Diane, Welcome to the Board.
