What are some of the most fun things you did while on vacation in Myrtle Beach SC?|136348

We are thinking of going there this summer and I would love to know the best activities around there. Also, activities that are reasonably priced. And if anyone knows of a great hotel/condo for around $100-150 in summer, please let me know. It will be me, my husband and my 13 year old daughter.

My favorite place to stay is the Dayton House Resort. It has great pools and a nice lazy river. It is very clean, has nice staff and is in a great neighborhood. (quieter)
I go every spring. My favorite things to do include walking around Broadway at the Beach, going to Myrtle Beach Pelicans games ( a seat right behind home plate can be had for $9!!!!!!!!), walking the beach down to the Pier for exercise everyday while splashing my feet in the water(hey that_s free), going to the Pier 14 to listen to Robert Cooper sing and going to different places to eat. I like the Original Benjamin_s for Calabash (the one on Restaurant Row) and the Carolina Roadhouse is great!

You should go and check out the Dixie Stampede, it is a dinner and a show. its awesome! And you should also go and see a movie on an IMAX screen if you have never done that before.

Hope these helped!

Where should I stay in LA that is near tourist sites?|102824

My friend and I are going to LA for spring break, but we don_t want to spend money on renting a car. So, obviously, we want to be within walking distance of all the fun tourist sites. What part of LA is close to all the fun Hollywood things--The Hollywood Walk of Fame, etc.

Also, if you have any suggestions for must-see sights or activities in LA/Hollywood, that would be REALLY appreciated! Thanks!

All the fun/touristy sites are all within miles so a car would be a smart idea.

Everything in LA is so spread out that you_ll only be walking distance to one thing. With that said, I suggest the Sunset Plaza Hotel on Sunset Strip. Then you can walk to the fun places on the strip and if you_re down for a pretty long walk, you could still walk to Hollywood Blvd and see Mann_s Chinese, Walk of Fame, Frederick_s of Hollywood, etc.

You need a car to see the sights. The sights are so spread out that you will not see a lot if you depend on public transport.

And the part of LA close to the walk of fame is called _Hollywood_

But remember that you can _do_ the Hollywood area in 4-5 hours. And then take the subway to Universal Studios for a whole day there.

Other than those 2 days, everything is 2-4 hours away from that area by bus.

The best you can do is search for hotel in
http://www.easydestination.net
Website shows nearest tourist site with each hotel.

There are literally hundreds of things to do here in LA. Here is my list of ��must sees��. Visit as many as you have time for.:

Disneyland: The Happiest Place on Earth. Half a billion visitors can��t be wrong. #1 Destination in SoCal.
Universal Studios: A theme park that grew out of a studio tour. #2 Destination
Even if you don��t visit Disneyland or Universal Studios Tour, Downtown Disney District and Universal City Walk are very fun places to visit for shopping and eating. And they��re free to visit.

Hollywood: Enjoy the Walk of Fame, Entertainment Museum, Chinese Theater and more. You can see a lot for free. The Hollywood _ Highland complex is AMAZING. It has lots of shops and restaurants, and the Kodak Theater (home of the Academy Awards). I also like the El Capitan theater, right across the street. And the Hollywood Bowl is a GREAT place to listen to concerts outdoors.

Rodeo Drive, 90210: Packed with exclusive shops, full of gawkers. They all came to enjoy the excess. Free, unless you intend to buy something.

Venice Beach: Los Angeles kitsch and over-the-top culture at its best. Here you_ll find Muscle Beach, street performers and tacky shops galore. Fun, VERY interesting, but I avoid it after dark, when it gets a little TOO interesting for my taste.

Santa Monica Beach and Pier: Great beach scene and a classic seaside amusement park, complete with antique carousel that has been in a lot of TV and movies.

Santa Monica Third Street Promenade - Downtown Santa Monica_s shopping promenade is often the scene of movie star-sightings.

Sunset Boulevard: Perhaps one of the world_s most famous streets, it began as a route between the stars_ posh neighborhoods and the Hollywood studios. It runs from downtown to the ocean, passing through the _Sunset Strip_ on its way. It makes for a fun drive. When you get to the ocean, stop at Gladstone_s for Fish.

Queen Mary: Once the largest ship afloat, she_s been docked in Long Beach for longer than she sailed, and her elegance never fails to impress. Free to visit. You can actually stay on board, for a price.

Farmers Market and The Grove - A new shopping complex right next to a Los Angeles landmark, The Grove and Farmers Market coexist. Enjoy a movie or shopping, and then take the trolley to the Farmers Market for lunch or dinner. It is right next to CBS, so walk across the lot to see if they are taping _The Price is Right_. You might even get in.

TAAB: The Americana at Brand- The newly opened TAAB, developed by the same group that gave us The Grove, breathes new life into Glendale, and gives all those hip people in Eagle Rock and the eastern half of LA a great place to go.

Griffith Park - Home of the Los Angeles Zoo, Griffith Park Observatory, Travel Town, the Greek Theatre, and Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage.

Getty Museum - The Getty_s architecture is so beautiful that it keeps me fascinated. No matter whether you like their art or architecture better (or maybe you_ll just enjoy the view), the Getty is sure to please. Free.

Attend a TV taping - You can get free tickets at audiencesunlimited.com, tvtix.com, or see the booth at Universal City walk. It_s very interesting to see a show being taped. The most popular, by far, is the Tonight show with Jay Leno. Check the NBC web site for all the details there.

Places to eat:
In-N-Out Burger: Multiple locations, best burger in LA, ask anyone.
Pink��s Hot Dogs: 709 N. La Brea, just north of Melrose. You might even see a celebrity. Maybe.
Tommy��s Chili Burgers: Look for the shack, an LA tradition. The original location is at Beverly _ Rampart, a couple miles west of downtown.
Canter��s Deli: 419 N. Fairfax, between Beverly _ Melrose. Near CBS, you might spot a celebrity.
Phillippe��s: 1001 N. Alameda. Great roast beef sandwiches. Near Union Station and Olvera Street. Watch the mustard, it��s hot.
The Pantry: Corner of Figueroa and 9th, downtown. Huge portions, they never close, GREAT steak and eggs.

Places to Stay:
Since LA is so spread out, there is no single place that is close to EVERYTHING. Most people who come here tend to stay in Hollywood, Santa Monica, or Anaheim.
In Hollywood, I recommend the Renaissance Hotel at Hollywood and Highland, the Best Western Sunset Plaza, or the Holiday Inn Walk of Fame.
In Santa Monica, the Holiday Inn Santa Monica is close to the pier and reasonably priced.
In Anaheim, I recommend the Howard Johnson (HoJo) Anaheim, and the Candy Cane Inn.

Places to Shop:
Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica
The Grove, Los Angeles
Americana @ Brand, Glendale
Beverly Center, Los Angeles
Citadel Outlets, Commerce
Brea Mall, Brea
The Block at Orange, Orange
South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa
Fashion Island, Newport Beach
Santee Alley, Los Angeles

Where are safe areas to live for military famlies in hawaii?|159923

Id be working in Western Central part of Oahu. I would like to find an apartment in a nice very safe area and preferably closely located to a commissary so I can do our shopping. I_ve stayed on the west side of the island and its loaded with hobos and shanty towns ewww.
.

Kapolei, Waialua, Salt Lake, and Moanalua are very safe for military families. Kaneohe and Kailua are safe too, but they are located on East Oahu.

Out of those, Salt Lake and Moanalua are the best areas for military families because it is close to a commissary.

I advise you not say that around locals from the west side because I have family there and just because you_ve seen hobo_s and ghetto houses doesn_t mean everyone lives like that, good people come from the west side; its very ignorant for you to insult where i come from.
I would say Mililani is the best place to live, there are lots of nice town houses, single family homes, definitely an upgrade from the west side and mililani is not very far from Scholfield and Wheeler army airfield.

For pearl Harbor area, Pearlridge/Aiea area, see realestate office Bill Ramsey on 6th floor of bank of Hawaii building on Poli Momi st. across from pearlridge shopping center for a free updated list of appartments for rent. I like the highrises on Koauka loop close to pearlridge.

For middle Island area, Mililani is nice. I lived in both areas.

We are a military family living in Hawaii. We bought a house in Kapolei and LOVE it! Beautiful views, nice people.

But we don_t live close to a commissary. There is a tiny one in Barbers Point, but nothing to brag about.

If living next to a commissary is really important to you, I suggest you live on base/post.

I would look in the Mililani area - it will be close to the base that is near Wahiawa (I can_t remember the name of the base right now!)

Oh, gee I am so sorry you had to deal with poor people. Ever thought of helping instead of judging? Just might get you farther while you are living here.

I just move here too any info you find out be nice if you pass it along thanks

what about living on base?

Does anyone know of a good family mini getaway?|144463

My husband and I are planning a 3-4 day getaway with our 8 year old. We currently live in California and would like to stay away from Disneyland. Does anyone know where we could get away without breaking the bank?

San Antonio, Texas
OR
Austin, Texas.
Both beautiful cities.
You wont be disspointed_3

Many museums have free admission days. It might be crowded, but fun none the less. All local museums near my area have free days posted on their website. You should check it out. It might not take up 3-4 days but it can be nice stops or if you are in an area near the museum.

Another option is a national park. Reserving a camp site for a couple days is pretty cheap. You can use your own tent and equipment or theirs.

the zoo and science centres and museums are a lot of fun. Im not in the California area but here we have a place called medieval times where its like a dinner theatre with a battle and dinner. A watter park could be fun too. a good way to cool down

you could drive up north to washington state and just hang out around there or drive up to maybe even see a little of canada
