Suggestions for an affordable charter boat from angel island to San Francisco?|113379

We are having a birthday party on Angel island and have a picnic spot reserved until 9PM. It looks like the last ferry leaves at 4:30, so I was hoping we could hire a boat to take us home sometime around sunset and spend a little extra time on the island. There are lots of charter services, but they all appear to be package deals including food and drinks - we just want a nice one way trip home.

You can contact big companies even Ferries if you like to pay $5000 or you can contact small boats in Fishman_s wharf for several hundreds, but Angle island is state park, you need to get permission.

How to get from Westchester County Airport to Manhattan?|197137

Bought a ticket, and have to fly into Westchester County. I will be public transportation dependent, and am not spending big bucks for a cab, etc. Do they run buses from the airport to Manhattan, or do I have to get into White Plains to catch a train?

Also, for anyone who_s done this, is it pretty easy/convenient?

Thanks.

The first person who answered is correct. The bus ride is only 10-15 minutes or so to the train station. You can also get a cab to the train station.

I_ve never done it, because so many people have told me it is NOT convenient. You will need to take a bus (Westchester _bee-line_ #12) to White Plains, then get on a MetroNorth train to Grand Central.

Is Connecticut a Good Place to Raise a Family?|195046

My fiancee and I are just starting to talk about places to settle down... He would prefer the East coast for the schools and loves outdoor activities. I want a relaxed safe atmosphere with plenty of cultural opprotunities. Does Connecticut sound like the spot? (I have never lived East of the Mississippi) If not any other suggestions?

I say YES. I grew up in Northeasten CT and it was semi-rural at the time (still is pretty much). We had 12 acres with woods and a river down back. I spent so much time outdoors doing _nature stuff_. It_s a great place for kids. One major plus about CT is that it_s very easy to get to Boston, NYC or Providence where, as you know, there are other great schools, museums, etc.. You can get a house deep in the woods in CT and know that you are only a few hours away from major cities like that.

CT is on the coast so you can easily drive to a beach in the summer (on Long Island Sound) or head slightly east, just over the RI boarder and go to beaches that are directly on the Atlantic ocean.

To be honest, the cities in CT are not desirable. New Haven, Hartford and Bridgeport are impoverished and parts can be VERY dangerous. Hartford ends up on some of those _Most Dangerous US Cities_ lists. Those cities are surrounded by very rich suburbs that are extremely expensive to live in with million dollar homes, etc.. Fairfield County is where most of the _rich_ CT people live since it_s closer to NYC. For the most part, the towns east of the CT River are a little less expensive and/or less populated. I suppose anywhere in CT may be a bit more expensive that most other states in the US. It_s not cheap to live there but that_s life on the East coast.

Connecticut has a good basketball team, i know they had a down year this year.... but Jim Calhoun can bring the team back.

What should I head for first when getting to Universal Studios or Islands of adventure?|139361

Heading to Orlando soon, and doing Universal Studios, IOA, and going to Halloween Horror Nights, any suggestions?

0ooooh thats a toughy, i always have done universal studios first and then islands of adventure, dont know why though lol.

i love the mummy ride, and of course duelling dragons

whatever you do have fun and enjoy your trip.

Dueling Dragons at Islands of Adventure is a must! Plus you want to make sure to be able to experience it the way it is now before they retheme it for Harry Potter Land.

The Mummy at Universal Studios is a lot of fun too! Even the area they route the lines through is amazing.

Take a look at all of the attractions at both parks here...

it doesn_t matter the wait line in the rides are 5mins or less for each one of them. that_s one of the reasons i loved it there.

universal studios had a lot of 3d effects and simulations. it was pretty cool_
while islands of adventure was more of the traditional _roller coaster_ rides that most can associate with.

but both are real good and you can see both in one day_...may not finish them but you can see both of them.

I would go to spider-man first in IOA. Follow this link for a good plan on how to spend your day.

What is the fastest way to get from Portland to NYC relying on public transport?|179269

What is the fastest way to get from Portland to NYC using only trains and buses? (Without flying, driving, or renting a van or taxi etc.) Thank you.

You can take Amtrak:

The _Downeaster_ from Portland ME to Boston MA, where you transfer to either the _Northeast Regional_ (more stops, cheaper) or _Acela Express_ (limited stops, fast train, more expensive) to get down to New York City.

I would recommend taking the train over the bus for such a long trip-- It is MUCH more comfortable by train.

Reservations, routes and timetables for Amtrak here:

Hope this helps, and have a pleasant trip.

My friend, Portland, ME or Portland, OR? Which one?

Good luck

Are you in Portland, Oregon or Portland, Maine? It does make a difference.

Is planet hollywood a good choice for a vegas trip?|131727

my friends and i are planning a vegas trip and we were thinking about planet hollywood for a place to stay. any thoughts?

Very nice hotel and casino. Great location .. right in the middle of the strip. Can_t go wrong that is for sure. The Hard Rock is far off the strip and you can_t walk anywhere.

You could also try staying at Bally_s (usually a bit cheaper in room prices) and it_s only two hotels north of Planet Hollywood. That is the happening spot though. Most of the partying hotels are within walking distance so you can_t go wrong staying in that area.

The PH(Planet Hollywood) is a great place to stay. It_s located on the strip North of MGM and next to Paris. PH and Paris is a happening place for anyone in their 20_s and 30_s. Compare rates at PH and Paris. Both are good.

You won_t go wrong choosing PH.

Check out this site for offer codes for when you are going.

I_d stay there in a split second. Location, location, location!!!! Their buffet isn_t too shabby either. I_d also stay at the Paris.

PH is nice but can be expensive. In order to save some money check the Planet Hollywood Promotion Codes on

Yep - nice hotel, good location on the strip.

Hard Rock Hotel !!!!!!!!!

Yeah it_s pretty nice. Big time partying too.
