What is the best way to travel from Las Vegas to Fresno California?|119035

We are vacationing in the Fresno area in October and are flying into Vegas. Does anybody have any thoughts on the best way to travel between the two? All ideas are appreciated

best way to get cheap air tickets

Nobody _vacations_ in Fresno!
Are you flying into Vegas because you got a cheap flight? Just rent a car at the
airport and drive--it_s not
really that far. Use a major
car rental and just turn it in
in fresno.

vacation in Fresno? are you on a budget or something? just go by car. but its a hot boring drive

the drive is about 6 hours. 15 south to 58 west in barstow then 99 north at bakersfield to fresno. not the most interesting drive but not bad if you have someone in the car with you. if time is not an issue the drive is a good choice.
if you want to fly you might be able to score some good deals. freson is a regional airport so you probably won_t find it on any of the big airlines. but regional carriers tend to be cheap when flying short distances.

Interstate 15 south to Highway 58 transition in Barstow. Highway 58 to Highway 99 North. That_s the general road route. If you_re flying then it_s LAS-FAT on several airlines.

Alligiant Air and United (United Express by Skywest), U.S. Airways (Express, and starting 09/02/07 mainline flights) all fly non-stop from Las Vegas to Fresno.

Allegiant Air (they have a web site) out of Fresno is an excellent airline, with very good prices to Vegas, non-stop.

If you drive, it_s interesting if you like the desert landscape. You also save money on a car rental in Vegas. I would not be in that city without a car, rental or my own. It_s way too spread out, and it_s extremely hot. Waiting for a bus or shuttle in the heat is horrible.

If you are in Fresno, do visit the Underground Gardens. That is an amazing and fascinating place, unique in the world. It also has a web site. It_s Fresno_s redeeming feature, in my opinion.

I an planning a trip to New York City next Thanksgiving can anyone give me some tips on were to stay?|129945

Also what is the best places to see. I am wanting too see the Macy_s Parade while there, any hotel you would suggest to make it easy to sightsee and see the parade.

Well, New Jersey is very cost effective and there is train service from the NJ coast to New York. In terms of hotels in NYC for the Macy_s parade, I would not be suprised if they are all booked up already.

good transportation system, train ,so u may stay away _ save little away

I was in New York for 4 days in July and stayed at the holiday inn on 57th street. It_s near Central Park It was clean and cheap and cheerful. Everything you need really.

We are looking to move to wyoming and my husband has been offered a job in Wyoming?|102989

We are not familiar with Riverside, Wyoming, but my husband has been offered a job there. Can anyone tell us about Riverside? We live now in a suburban area of Atlanta, biracial neighborhood and we love where we live, are there areas in Riverside like this or nearby?

The snow in Wyn doesn_t melt, it wears out. The entire state is at an average alt of 6000 ft, a lot closer to the jet stream, year round, so understand this, the wind always blows, It has been known to topple 18 wheelers on I-80. People watch snow getting blown through the keyholes on the front door. They call it a ground blizzard. It snows every month of the year, cept maybe July. Thats the good news. Get an indoor job, make sure it pays year round, and that it doesn_t sorta run out between Dec and March. Be sure to go there first, look around and obtain proper housing. There_s is no A/C, but get a real good look at your heaters. Make sure your new place has room for a car, sheltered, as in a heated, or at least electrified garage. It can be very tough on pets, you can_t let them out in minus 30 degrees, with a windchill of -60. Have your cloths ready. Talk to the locals, tell the new boss you_ll need a guide to successful living in an otherwise beautiful state. Live real close to work. good luck.

FYI, you will be treated differently because you_re not from there... you don_t belong...

You are moving the part of the country where machismo male egos are alive and well.. go to the local watering hole, and expect to see at least one bar fight... rodeoers, roughnecks (people who work on oil rigs) and ranchers are all MACHISMO folks...

some are great people from the salt of the earth and will treat you with respect, and some will not simply for the color of your skin...

Am not trying to be harsh to you... just honest... but you better be strong, stick to your guns (pun intended) and don_t take crap from anyone up there...

One of the awesome things about the area is the great proximity to the outdoors... mountains, mountains, mountains... biking, hiking, paddling, caves, hunting, fishing.. all of the wonderful beauty of the rockies will be at your fingers!
good luck!

Wyomimg will be like living on the moon......

Whats the best way to travel from Berkeley to Davis via public transportation?|151713

please include the costs of the trip and how to get back!

thanks in advanced

Davis Berkeley Shuttle

The Davis Berkeley Shuttle operated by TAPS runs twice daily on weekdays between the UCD campus and UC Berkeley. Only UCD affiliates may ride. You must reserve a seat ahead of time on their website if you plan to go home on a Friday - it_s always packed, oftentimes for more than a week or two in advance! The ticket you actually buy is not date specific. A one-way ticket costs $8.00, and can be purchased singly or in bulk from the TAPS office or the Freeborn ticket office, using cash or check. Although tickets are not sold on the bus, it often possible to purchase a spare ticket from some other rider.

You could use the shuttle that J7 talked about.

Or, you could take Capitol Corridor (Amtrak train) from Oakland BART station to Sacramento, and then the Unitrans bus to UCD.

Amtrack Capital Corridor different prices for students seniors certain days frequent riders etc call Amtrak get a train time schedule ask a desk clerk.

What are some sightseeing places in Kentucky?|132433

My aunt and uncle are looking for a weekend family trip. They live in northeastern Kentucky, so they_ve seen Carter Caves and the areas around that. Anyone have any suggestions for the western part of the state?

There are plenty of options, depending on whether you want something historic, something outdoors, or anything else. The Bowling Green area has Mammoth Cave national park, as well as the National Corvette Museum and Corvette Assembly plant, and Beech Bend amusement park. Further west, the Land Between the Lakes (Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley) has all sort of outdoor activities - boating, fishing, camping, hiking.

Of course, there are tons of things to do in Louisville; Kentucky Kingdom, the Louisville Science Center, the Louisville Slugger museum, Actor_s Theater, the KY Center for the Arts, the Louisville Zoo, and Churchill Downs.

Check out this website for more ideas! www.kentuckytourism.com

Visit Kentucky is ALL you need to do, and that_s it. Trust me.

Greenbo Lake State Park is supposed to be a very nice resort in northeastern KY near Greenup and Ashland.

As for West KY, try Land Between the Lakes, Pennyrile Forst State Park, Columbus-Belmont State Park (Civil War History), Lake Barkley State Park (huge park with a secluded lodge,) and hop on the Cave-in-Rock Ferry in Crittenden Co., KY over into Illinois and visit the Cave-in-Rock State Park. That_s supposed to be pretty interesting.

The covette museum in Bowling Green is so cool. We went several years ago and it was an awesome place to visit. The Louisiville Slugger museum was also fun. You walk through the plant and watch how the bats get made.

do a Google search for the Kentucky Tourist Bureau... they should have tons of information for you
