I can stay somewhere else, but it will put me much farther away from where I have to be each day.
TIA for any advice.
Simple answer - avoid. Annapolis, in the inner core, is one of America's oldest cities. Narrow streets, one way streets, etc. There are going to be thousands of people in town and some high level dignitaries (SecDef, SecNav, even POTUS). That creates additional traffic pressures.
