        "question": "Which cities in Maryland can I fly to directly or with one stop from Houston?",
        "answer": "From Houston you can fly non-stop to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, which serves the Baltimore area and is within reach of Washington D.C. For other parts of Maryland, one-stop connections through hubs like Charlotte, Atlanta or Philadelphia will get you to smaller airports such as Salisbury or Hagerstown, though driving from BWI is often more practical."

        "answer": "In Maryland, Baltimore draws visitors for the Inner Harbor and Fort McHenry, Annapolis for maritime history and the Naval Academy, and Ocean City for beaches.
