How to get to Monterey Bay from Palo Alto using public transportation?|146029

Hey guys,

My boyfriend and I decide to go to Monterey Bay this weekend to see the aquarium and everything and we don_t own a car yet. Does someone know how to get to Monterey Bay using public transportation from Palo Alto/Stanford, like buses or Caltrains? Thank you!

VTA bus#22 or Caltrain to San Jose $2 ( 30 min)
From San Jose caltrain station, take expressbus #55 to monterey $4( 90min)

Don_t think there are trains, but you can bus it. You will probably have to transfer in San Jose, go over Hwy 17, transfer in Santa Cruz, and then you are on your way. Check the bus shedules for alternate routes and have fun, but be prepared to spend a lot of money in Monterey. I suggest spending time in Santa Cruz instead.

What should I be taking into consideration if I want to move and live in the US?|119365

Things like organizing citizenship. How much I should be saving up.

What else should I be thinking about. I_m an Aussie and I want to move to Los Angeles to begin an acting career in about 2 years.

I want to be able to live there comfortable. Job wise I can take care of things. But what should I be thinking about so that the move is a smooth one?

Unless you are independently wealthy you will need a job + a work visa. You need a sponsor (employer) for a work visa - you can_t apply for one on your own.

Australians do have an advantage and can get an E-3 Work Visa (the _immigration support_ website is a commercial site):

Check with US companies in Australia and Australian companies with offices in the USA. For example, Hilton and Marriott hire international staff as interns.

Australian citizens can visit the USA for up to 90 days as a tourist, so you could travel for interviews _ tests if necessary.

Search _international exchange programs USA_ and there should be many links to programs that offer temporary and seasonal work in the US. Do carefully check any programs you might be interested in as not all of them are a good deal.

Another option is to go to school in the USA. UK citizens can easily get a US student visa and you MAY be able to work on-campus. Having a USA university diploma or certificate will make applying for jobs easier, and going to school in the US will help you decide if you really want to move here.

Good luck!

You_d probably have to line up a steady job first and then get a work visa. Pretty hard thing to do for an actor. You might want to talk to an immigration attorney.

What can I do as a passenger on a 25 hour drive?|182418

I can_t read in the car I get sick, and we don_t have a DVD player in the car. I am a college student, but it will be during my break between finals and summer classes.

Buy an inverter that lets you power 110V appliances from the cigarette lighter (they_re about $25 at Wal-Mart and the prices are always coming down). There are a multitude of 110V appliances that can keep you entertained: a TV, a DVD player, a CD player, even a laptop computer with games. Another toy that might be fun to play with on a long trip is a GPS unit.

Get liquored up and listen to music.

FLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could always bring your cell phone, or laptop or sleep, or watch scenery, or bring a lot of magazines.

But if you absolutely HAVE to but cant read/ no dvd player there are some options:

What would you want an Amphitheater and Campground to be like for your best enjoyment for camping and music?|154436

Would you want seating or just a grass field for music? Would you want part of the Amphitheater to be covered? What ammenities would you like the campground to have? How far would you be willing to travel for camping and music? How long would you stay? What campgrounds do you really like and where are they? What amphitheaters do you really like and where are they? How cold is too cold for you to camp? How much would you be willing to pay for camping? How much would you be willing to pay for Music? Anything else you can think of?

I live in Colorado and I haven_t travelled to much but I can recommend some things around here. Red Rocks amphitheater is located about 35 minutes from Denver and it is beautiful. You can type in the name and see it. It is carved from red sandstone and has an unbelievable view. At night, they light fires on the stage. It is a great place for music, the prices can be steep though. It is not a huge ampitheater so allmost all the seats are really good. Another local outdoor place for music is Fiddlers Green. It is the standard sit in a field of grass venue. I prefer Red Rocks. You have to plan ahead because the tix go fast and scalpers charge a fortune.
I camp locally of course, I have a lot of places I like. I prefer to camp pretty rustic. That is, I take along everything I need for a few days. I camp in free open places so it isn_t expensive. No services at the campgrounds of course. But, if I am lucky, nobody around either. There are some nice places that aren_t far from Denver and easy to get to. Unless you have a sturdy vehicle with 4-wheel, I don_t recommend some areas. I have torn up my car trying to get to these rugged areas and it isn_t worth it.
So, I can only recommend places around Colorado, I would be happy to give some details. It is nice to get tips from a local. The weather is just about perfect for camping from now into September. Weekends, it can get crowded so I try to go around Mondays, or Tuesdays. It is nice to camp for about 2 nights and get a cheap room with a hot shower the third. Around October the weather cools off and it can be snowing in the mountains by then. I don_t camp when it is snowing, besides the cold, it is slippery to drive in and some roads get closed. Hope I helped. You can click on my name if you have any questions. I would recommend a vacation in Colorado sometime, just be sure to bring a car and plan on being around at least a week or so. There are lots of music festivals to go to. I think Vail, Aspen and Breckenridge have some things going. It is funny, most people only go to these towns for skiing, they are great to visit in the Summer. The rooms can be a lot cheaper also.
