At Wilderness on the lake in the Wisconsin Dells, can you bring your own boat?|177766

My family has been at the Wilderness Resort in the Wisconsin Dells a few times already, and we have had a great time. This year we want to go again, yet spin it up a bit, so we are thinking about wilderness on the lake. On the website it says there are boats available for use. First of all, do you have to pay to rent those boats, and second Can you bring your own boat and use it, and keep it there on their marina?

  • im not sure but if you did bring your own boat, the most they could do is make you launch it some where else near by.
  • Which Chicago airport is easier to get to downtown on the train from?|124852

    I_m going to Chicago in September and would like to know whether it_s easier to take the train from O_Hare or Midway to downtown. Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Both are fairly easy, but they are constantly doing work on the Blue Line, the train line that comes from O_Hare to downtown. There are delays all the time, so for that reason I_d say Midway, which is served by the Orange Line.

  • Both are easy but it depends where downtown you are talking about.

    The Orange Line goes right into Midway and goes around the Loop before heading back out to Midway.

    The Blue Line starts at O_Hare and goes under Dearborn Street as a Subway. And many destinations downtown can be accessed by the underground Pedway keeping you out of the elements.

    If you have business in the West Loop west of the Chicago River, you can take the Blue Line from OHare to the Jefferson Park station and then take Metra into Olgilvie Transportation Center at the Citicorp Center.

    See the map below for the downtown area map for the CTA. The second link shows the Pedway System.

    That is one area we are one up on New York - their Subways do not go th the airports. They come close but you have to find a bus to finish the trips to LaGuardia and JFK.

  • Both are easy. From Midway take the Orange Line from the Terminus -sort walk from baggage claim- (12 stops on Orange Line to Clark + Lake). From O_Hare take the Blue Line (16 stops to Clark + Lake).

  • They are both easy. Ohare is farther so it takes longer. The midway train might require a slightly longer walk to get to from the terminal.

  • What are some places in Chicago that are open 24 hours a day and have free wifi?|199361

    I_m looking for a place (preferably on the north side of Chicago or downtown) that has free wifi and is open 24 hours a day. A specific place would be appreciated. Any public place like a coffee shop, a diner, or something of that nature would be perfect.

    Thanks.

  • Dunkin_ Donuts opens really late but i_m not sure how late. They also have free Wi Fi ;)

  • My friend sits in the library parking lot in her neighborhood at night, and uses their wifi.

  • How much will a cab cost from Jamaica Queens to Newark Airport?|177285

    I am planning on going away in Jan 2010 and i really don_t want to take the train out to Newark.

  • You can call either Dial 7 or Carmel Car Service, which will take from the Jamaica to Newark for about $45 to $50. The phone number for both car service companies can be found at the link below.

    Good luck

  • I found:

    Midtown Special | JFK $49* | LaGuardia $45* | Newark $59*

    *Tolls _ reservation fees not included, all reservations must agree to company terms _ conditions

  • Listen...your in New York, never take a cab that many miles. Take a cab around in Manhatten, not too Jersey! There are plenty of companys that pool that route.
