I saw it too, and was curious to know. I found the answer at the San Diego Union-Tribune on line. The plane is apparently doing some electromagnetic surveying. The link to the article is:

What bridge should i cross and what should i keep in mind when i go for shopping in buffalo??|185134

I am planning to shop in Niagara Falls Fashion Outlet and Walden Galleria. I think I am going to cross Queen-Lewiston Bridge. Is there another bridge that will take me less time to cross when going there and also coming back? I live in toronto. And also what time would be the best time to cross the bridge when I travel to buffalo? _ also What time when i come back from buffalo?

Thank you

I would say the Lewiston-Queenston would be your best bet. It usually isn_t too busy, and is only a few minutes away from the Fashion Outlets(or whatever the call it now).

I_m not sure what would be the best time, but if you do take the L-Q and you get stuck in traffic heading into the US, stay on the right side, it is a lot faster (heading into the US is almost always more backed up than going into Canada).
I live a few minutes away from Niagara Falls, where you will have to pay 75�� to cross the blue bridges :)

Good Luck!

Where would be a good place to stay in Boston?|171179

We_re planning to stay 1 night at a nearby hotel in the Boston aquarium area. Do you know any hotels that are affordable for 2 adults and 1 child?? Also, where exactly is the Boston aquarium located in?

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it_s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

The Marriot Long Wharf or the Millennium Bostonian. I stayed at the Millennium Bostonian by getting a great deal on Priceline. The Aquarium is located at 1 Central Wharf, right beside the Marriot and Faneuil hall. Actually, if you look up hotels close to Faneuil hall you_ll be close to everything, so Im sure you can find something cheaper nearby. Then again, it_s Boston and everythings expensive, so good luck.

The Aquarium is on Long Wharf, about a 10 minute walk from Faneuil Hall, and the North End. There is a Marriott Hotel right there, next to the Aquarium. They frequently have family weekend deals, check Hotels.com or Orbitz for discounted rates. Here is the link for the hotel:

It is located on The Blue Line of the subway system. There is also a water shuttle right there on Long Wharf that can take you across the harbor to the USS Constitution _about a 5 minute water taxi ride_
Hope you enjoy your visit...regards to the penguins and sea lions :)

What should first time visitors to Sedona AZ do?|121229

We are new to the Phoenix area and want to go to Sedona- we are outdoor people :) - BUT my husband just had surgery on his arm and is limited on the physical activities. We also have a dog that would enjoy the ride. Any suggestions?

Take a ride up Oak Creek Canyon Rd (89A) To flagstaff. If you want to hike with the dog if you don_t mind him on a leash go to Red Rock State Park. That will be on 89A heading to Cottonwood from Sedona. If you want the dog to run any of the forest roads would be nice.

Now for you and your Husband
I_d take a Jeep Ride
then If you like to look at beautiful Scenery go to Clarkdale its just outside of Cottonwood and take the Verde Train Ride. In my book it is way better then the Grand Canyon.

Then in Cottonwood off of Main Street on 10th Street is the BlazinM Ranch. They have a great dinner show that isn_t to expensive.

You can get info about the train ride and the blazinM when your in Sedona at any of the tourist booths.

Anyone that I know coming to my neck of the wood those are the places that I recommend

Oak Creek Canyon is very scenic and has many of the unique red rock formations, like Coffee Pot Rock, and many scenic drives and lookouts. They have some short hiking trails, too. There_s plenty of birdwatching to do at Oak Creek Canyon. More Sedona things to do: You can go on a vortex tour. Vortexes are enhanced energy locations, and they are fun and interesting places to visit. There are many such sites in Sedona. There are many places to shop in Sedona, such as Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Center, as well as many small shops. They are into crystals and Indian artwork and jewelry in Sedona. There are also some good trolley and jeep tours in Sedona. I recommend Pink Jeep Tours if you want a good, informative, and fun jeep tour.

Also, there are plenty of good massage therapists in Sedona. The massages are very relaxing. They are great for sore feet, too.

Basically just drive. We drove thru Sedona taking pictures from the car or pull offs and then headed up to Flagstaff for dinner and then back to Phoenix.

You guys could hike, but your husband doesn_t seem up to it. There are also the little shops, those are always fun :)
