How much would a trip to New York City for three cost?|186968

How much would it cost for about three people to drive from Lexington, KY to New York, NY for about 4 days? Should we stay in a hotel outside of the city and take the train in every day? What about food, something cheap but good. If I could get some rough estimates on these costs and maybe anything I_ve overlooked that would be TERRIFIC!

You will probably range in the low thousands, but DEFINITELY STAY IN HOTEL PENNSYLVANIA!. The hotel is located right across the street from Penn Station/ Madison Square Garden. It was built in 1919 by McKim, Mead _ White, They also designed The NYC Municipal building, original Penn Station, which used to stand in what is now Madison Garden, and many other US national landmarks. The hotel_s architecture is the gorgeous Neo-Renaissance style. the Hotel is very affordable. there are breathtaking views of the city from the bedrooms too. Glen Miller, the famous band leader, wrote the song Pennsylvania 6-5000 about the hotel. Glen Miller also stayed and preformed in the hotel for his Honeymoon, and numerous other times. Hotel Pennsylvania for the last 89 years has been the worlds most popular hotel after serving over 3 million guests! Hotel Penn is very clean a satisfying. Unfortunately the Hotel is being threatened for demolition so enjoy the hotel while you can. Even if you don_t stay in this hotel please go to the Save The Hotel website at

The website also has a myspace. If you would like to add them, their URL is

PLEASE HELP AND SAVE THE PAST!

I can not give you an estimate, because there are a lot of personal factors involved. However, I can give you some facts which may help: 1. Parking in N. York will cost you quite a few bucks (reason why I take the train in). 2. Hotels must usually be reserved in advance or you will have trouble, especially during rainy days. 3. Food can fit any budget, from the street corner hot dogs (found all over), to a Deli, to a McDonald_s, to expensive restaurants.
If you learn your way around, sleeping away from the city and taking the train in is cheaper. Bring a good pair of walking sneakers, and use the local subway which will bring you to where your heart desires (downtown to take the ferry to the Statue of Liberty), etc. Just grab a city map, because in the subway all you will see are the street stops/42nd. 32nd, etc.). While in the subway, pay attention there is the _local_, and the _express_ (underneath, makes only a couple of stops in the city, and moves on to Queens, Brooklyn, etc.).
Shows: you can plan to watch an evening show while on Broadway, according to ticket prices/your budget.
Your traveling from KY will much depend on the type of car you drive, and the ongoing gas prices. If you do park in N. York, make sure to put enough gas in the car, before you come in.

Can a school bus drive in the far left car pool land across the Bay Bridge from Oakland to San Francisco?|198066

There are two bus/carpool lanes as you go from Oakland to San Francisco on the Bay Bridge. These allow a vehicle to go non-stop past the toll booths. One is on the far left and the other is on the far right. Can a school bus use the one on the far left?

I do believe so. As long as there are students on it. I drive in the area every weekday and see many buses in the carpool lane. Also, motorcyclists drive in it too.

Sure

What is there to do inside thats fun in the Greater Orlando area of Florida?|197668

I have a flight booked to go there this weekend, and wouldn_t you know that it_s the one time of the year that it_s decided to be rainy the entire time. Go figure. But I could use some advice. Thank you.

Wonderworks is pretty cool. There is also Florida Mall (with the M_M store and the indoor surfing). The RDV Sportsplex in Maitland has ice skating as does the Ice Factory in Kissimmee. There is plenty of bowling as well. They have indoor skydiving as well. Outside of Orlando is Fantasy of Flight museum with a flight simulator. Medieval Times, Arabian Nights, Dolly Partan_s Stampede, and Al Capone dinner theater to name a few shows. I would try to see Cirque De Solel and/or Blue Man Group for sure.
