In-person early voting in Maryland is from October 24-31 this year.
I did this a couple of times in the early 2010s. There are many fewer places to vote early, and my impression was that lines were quite a bit longer than I had encountered at my local precinct on election day. (It probably took me about 45 minutes total for early voting, compared to 15-20 minutes on election day, not including the extra driving time).
Since 2020 (edit: oops, not 2000!), I've been registered to receive an absentee ballot by email, which I fill out and print and then take to a nearby drop box at my convenience (which I did a few weeks ago).
