Request for Question Clarification by darrel-ga on 23 Feb 2004 12:46 PST

Hello--

One point of clarification, if you don't mind: are you looking for
directions from your Alexandria location to your Falls Church
location? Or are you looking for a mode of transportation to take you
from the one location to the other?

Thanks,

Dear George, 

Here is a Yahoo! map of 7917 E Boulevard Drive, Alexandria, VA 22308-1307 
<http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?ed=8.cgz.p_0TrUDRY2c.Yv_f8Rg5WnJ3y8a4jBGrNWip8-&csz=Alexandria%2C+VA&country=us>

The church is on 5312 Backlick Road, Springfield VA. 
<http://www.saintjohnsumc.org/> 

According to Yahoo!'s driving instructions, it takes 24 minutes by car
to get there.

Another form of driving instructions is available at the University of
Maryland, College Park, site:
<http://mars.umd.edu/oa/Directions/STJohnMethodist.html>, with a map:

(sorry for the long link. If not everything in the brackets is a link,
copy it and paste it in your browser, in the adderss line).

More instructions in the Church's own site: 
<http://www.saintjohnsumc.org/?subpages/Directions.shtml>. 

There are two Greyhound buses between the two towns, on 05:35 and on 10:05 
<http://www.greyhound.com/>. 

The Ride Guide for Washington and Northern Virginia
<http://rideguide.wmata.com/index.html> could calculate a travel plan
for you using public transportation, including the fares, and your
priorities (it could minimize time, walking distance, or transfers).

I hope that helped. My search terms were: 
On Yahoo! Maps <http://maps.yahoo.com>: I entered the address you gave me
On Google I searched for the address of the church, and also for
public transportation information.
Please contact me if you need any further clarification on this answer
