Where can I go to participate in a sweat lodge ceremony in North Carolina or surrounding states?|187136

Me and my boyfriend are going on a roadtrip over to the coast, and desperately are looking to join in a sweat lodge ceremony. It_s been hard to find any information on the internet other than just explaining the ceremony, Please help!

Almost all ceremon ies like this are restricted to people of the local tribe. These are religious ceremonies and justly, very private. I seriously doubt that you_ll find a chance to participate.

Which part of Hawaii is the best place to vacation?|196769

I know there are so many beautiful islands, but I want to know where the best place to hang out at night and the not so overcrowded beaches are? I am planning on going there in December. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I have read up A LOT on the islands and have personally been to both Oahu and Maui.. Maui is by far my most favorite! Oahu is great if you like nightlife and shopping. Waikiki is basically a big city (like LA) with a really nice beach. Its a very crowded place, freeways everywhere.. Maui on the other hand is a lot more peaceful (but not as isolated as Kaui). There are a ton of things to do on Maui (outdoor things), and quite a selection of restaurants/bars/hotels to chose room--while at the same time quiet, beautiful and a good place to _just relax_ if that_s what you chose for your vacation. Wailea is my favorite area in Maui.

I for one love Oahu! I have been there five times, and really enjoy it. There are soooo many things to do, and I have found that the beaches are not as crowded as people want you to believe!! I stay around Waikiki Beach, and really it is not that crowded!! It is not like you are walking up on top of people like a can of sardines!!! That is totally ridiculous!! I have been there in May, and in April. Hope this helps you some!!

kauwie its the best and check out a place called kuapu falls you can jump off a water fall its only 30 feet but its the best and all the islands are to comercial its got tons of reefs and turtles and stuff youd love it.

Whats the maximum number of pets a person can own in Portland, OR or Multnomah county?|148558

Is there a limit to how many dogs, cats or both a person/household can own within Multnomah county, or more specifally Portland? I currently have one cat, but am interested in adopting at least two dogs and maybe another cat in the next few years.

I don_t think there is a limit legally but that depends on a few things.

If you rent then the owners have the say so.
If your animals are _not under your control_ at all times then certain citys may have ordinaces to remove them. IE if you have cats running all over the neighborhood and someone complains then you can loose them. Dogs have to be quiet excetra.

What are some things I should do while in Denver, CO with my family?|187031

My husband, myself and my 8 month old son are going to Denver, CO for our anniversary. On Sunday we are going to the Bronocos vs. Cowboys game but Saturday we are looking for something fun/interesting to do. Any ideas would be great.

Well, the Denver Zoo is nice, I_ve taken babies there while babysitting and they always like the fish in the tropical discovery the most. There_s also the Downtown Aquarium. My favorite downtown restaurants are the Old Spaghetti Factory (built in the historic trolley turn-around house) and BD_s Mongolian Grill. Croc_s has great Mexican food, and the Appaloosa Grill isn_t bad either!

There_s shopping in the snobby-chic Cherry Creek district, or the 16th St. mall. If you don_t mind venturing into the suburbs, there_s Flatirons mall and Park Meadows mall. The newly built Boulder Mall is nice, and since you_re out there you should totally hang out on Pearl St. for a while. Tours of the Celestial Seasonings Tea Factory are fun, and Boulder has a million great trails. Some are paved if you want to take a stroller, but my friends use the baby-back-pack things and go all out while hiking with their kids.

Care to visit the nearby city of Colorado Springs? Garden of the Gods is amazing, and there_s also Manitou Cliff Dwellings out there, Seven Falls, Cave of The Winds (but I_m not sure that last one is stroller accessible.) The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is cool, that one is smaller than the Denver Zoo, but you get to feed the giraffes out of your hand!

Last but certainly not least there_s the mountains themselves! The elk should be bugling, and the best bet for viewing them is at Rocky Mountain National Park. It_s really an amazing sight to see! The nearby resort-town of Estes Park is fun and my personal favorite restaurant there is _The Other Side_ which is near Rocky_s main entrance.

Whatever you decide on, I hope you have fun and enjoy your stay here!

I_d vote for the zoo...it is excellent and baby-friendly. You would not have to spend hours driving somewhere outside Denver. It really is an outstanding zoo.Be sure to check the schedule of shows and performances so yu cn be in the right spot at the right time.

go to:
-espn zone
-Elitch Gardens
-Waterworld
-Dave and Busters
-And also they have indoor skydiving!!! (Its like $40 for 2 minutes, but it_s totaly worth it)

Visit Coors Brewery.

What hours does airtrain run to and from Newark International Airport?|173012

I am considering staying in Newark instead of the city for a mid-week trip. My decision is hinged onto whether or not I can get back to the airport hotel at late night.

The Newark Airtrain is a monorail that runs to and from the different terminals, parking lots, and the train station there. There is no cost.

To get from the city to Newark Airport, you_re going to have to take either New Jersey Transit or Amtrak. They stop running about 1:00-2:00 in the morning. Then you have to take the Airtrain to the station where the airport shuttles are allowed to pick up from. Plus NJ Transit and Amtrak charge a $10 surcharge to board or depart a train at the airport station.

If you miss that last train, it costs about $50 for a cab (from experience).

My friend, the Newark Airtrain runs around the clock. You_ll be able to a train at any time. If you taking NJ Transit, however, the last train to leave Penn Station departures a about 1:30am.

Good luck

The Newark AirTrain runs 24/7.

It runs every three minutes from 5:00 am to midnight and every fifteen minutes thereafter until 5:00 am.

Can you recommend a nieghborhood to in Kansas City to live in?|171652

We are a newly married couple moving to Kansas City. We are looking for somewhere that has restaurants and parks. Somewhere nice anything under $1000/mo. Any help would be appreciated.

South KC is nice~ the Red Bridge area.
Lees Summit Mo is nice
Overland park or Prairie Village Ks is also nice
North KC Mo is a good option also

Please add some additional information - what else do you like to do? Everywhere in the area, save for the rundown parts of the city, has restaurants and parks.

Do you consider yourself an urban loft sort of person? Are you small-town people? Do you like the suburbs? If you_re planning on having children soon, is being in a good school district important to you? What sort of cultural activities are interesting to you, if any? Do you have two cars - Kansas City has little to no public transportation available, so that could restrict you.

Also, where do you work? How far are you willing to commute? Kansas City is a sprawling city.

I live on the Kansas side of the metro, so I_m only familiar with the communities south of the river. Northern Johnson County (and western Olathe) has some older, more established neighborhoods, including some areas that are drying up, but still have a lot of character. Southern Johnson County (south of I-435, including east Olathe) is wealthier and newer. Downtown and Midtown (along Broadway, from 25th to 45th street, roughly) have some great little loft and redevelopment neighborhoods springing up. Taxes are higher in Johnson County than Wyandotte County (northern KC, Kansas side). If you live in Kansas, but work in Missouri, you_ll pay additional income tax, so keep that in mind.

119th _ metcalf to 135th _ Metcalf in Overland Park, KS if you enjoy the suburbs.There are lots of restaurants and apartments in that price range. If you like more of a city vibe I would recommend staying on the Missouri side in KC. Downtown/River market area has some nice lofts and it is quite trendy but there is still a lot of work to be done. Another nice area in KC is the brookside and waldo area. Look in the area around 50th and Main to 75th and Main. Only drawback is there are not many apartments, mostly homes.

Do not do Olathe there are stating to me trashy areas out there now and it is getting super busy with tons of traffic. Same goes to Metcalf. Never live by Metcalf. There is so mush construction that it will last for a long time. I like the answer about Bonner and Piper because right now they are offering 95% tax free for 10 years on houses. Right now we just moved into a new house in Bonner and have that and our monthly payments are $1100 a month. I love it and the area. We are congested with traffic but we also have awesome highway access. Also all the cops and firefighters live in Piper or Bonner. Good luck. Check out Speedwayrealtykc.com for houses.

Check out my answer to the most recent question you asked....I think you would like living downtown or any of the suburbs I named that are very close to downtown (like 15min drive).

Bonner Springs or Piper.

74th and paseo

Try Olathe Kansas, It_s a nice town thats part of the KC Metro area

40th _ Main is a nice spot, as well as 36th _ troost-older areas.

Any words of advice for a first-time visitor to Bricktown in Oklahoma City?|121222

We_re going to see Matchbox Twenty at the Ford Center at the first of March and want to know of any good restaurants to eat at before and a good bar and/or club to hit afterward. Thanks!

GO TO TOBY KEITH_S BAR AND GRILL OR ZIO_S, WHICH IS A REALLY GOOD ITALIAN RESTRAUNT. CITYWALK OR SKYY BAR ARE THE BEST CLUBS IN BRICKTOWN. DEPENDING WHAT KIND OF TIME YOU WANT TO HAVE, SKYY IS ALOT MORE CLASSY, CITYWALK IS GOOD IF YOU WANT TO PARTY. MY PERSONAL CHOICE IS CITYWALK, WE GO THERE ALMOST EVERY WEEKEND. IT IS FREE FOR LADIES UNTIL 10, SKYY IS $8 FOR EVERYONE, I BELIEVE.

What is a Bricktown?? Been to Tulsa before...... worst city ever! Oklahoma in all is a pretty boring state.

How long to make to the round trip to Liberty Island from Liberty State Park in NJ, including the crown?|174050

I_ll be in NYC for the Jets opener on sept 20th and would like to go to Liberty Island, since they_ve reopened the crown. If I take the 8 AM ferry, can I make it up to the crown and be back in time for Kick off at Giants stadium at 1 PM ?

the medowlands is always backed up during football games, so it_ll be a close call

The crown has been closed since September 11, 2001. However, you can still take the ferry ride and walk around Liberty Island for 30 minutes and make it back just in time.
