What is the best way to get from Laguardia to North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset?|121817

I have to have a procedure done at North Shore University Hospital, I am low on funds and need to figure out the cheapest way to get from the airport (Laguardia) to the hospital. How much would a cab cost for that trip?

My friend, the cab ride from LGA to the hospital will cost you about $37. You can take bus and train from the airport to Manhasset, then take a cab from there, it will be a lot cheaper. Here_s how to do this.

Step 1: purchase a $4 MetroCard from any Hudson News stand at the airport and take the Q48 bus from the Main Terminal, or from the Marine Air Terminal, to the Flushing-Main Street LIRR station.

Step 2: at the Flushing-Main Street LIRR station, purchase a one way off peak ticket for $4 and take the eastbound LIRR Port Washington Branch train from Main Street to Manhasset.

Please note, if you_re traveling eastbound during the evening rush hour, purchase a one way peak ticket for $5.75.

Step 3: once in Manhasset, you can take a cab from the train station to the hospital. The cab fare from the train station to the hospital is only $8 one way.

I hope this information is very helpful. If you have any questions or need travel directions while in town, just drop me a line by clicking on the avatar and e-mail icon in the profile. I_ll be glad to help.

Good luck

What fashions do people wear in the Vermont area?|110655

I am from AZ and I know that people dress a lot differently here than they do on the east coast. We are leaving for Vermont in 10 days and will be there for two weeks. How do people dress there? Conservative? Jeans and T-shirts? I need to know what to pack.

Right now it is cool at nights and mornings, but can get 80_s during the day. It is best to bring pants, sweatshirt, and shorts, tank top. Most peolple don_t dress like they are from the _city_ Vermont is rural, and full of hippies, farmers, hikers.
If I had to think of a brand anme for Vermont it would be Columbia or Levi_s....:)

Just regular clothes, it is the summer here in the northeast we probably aren_t dressing to different than you. It is just in the winter. But you won_t find anything southern here, like cowboy hats, etc, that is one big difference.

Where is the best neighborhood to live in Olympia, Washington?|174624

We are a young couple that has never lived or traveled to Washington before. My husband just got a job there.
Since we are new to the area, we are wondering what neighborhoods would be best to start out. I am looking for an area that is close to restaurants and shopping (somewhere that we can be _social_ to meet new people and get to know the area). We are coming from San Francisco, Ca.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

yeah...like the person before said there are different interest groups here in olympia. I live on the west side _hippy town_ and then there is the _preppy_ side wich is over near Centennial elementary, if you are jewish/ hippy than you might want to put your kids in Lincoln (i have jewish friends by way of Vermont that have kids that go to Lincoln). Lacey school district is diverse but not like what you would probably see in san fran. Lot of asians in lacey, african americans, but definitley not the majority- just more than olympia. Garfield elementery is in west Olympia, and that is kinda hippy too. Tumwater is just no no no....most kids are poor white trash(not their fault) but the kind of parents that drive thunderbird i-roc and listen to ac-dc, and eat gas station food for each meal. Shelton is all inbreads. I dated a girl from there and I swear she practically dated the whole school. LP brown is an elementary in Olympia I don_t know much about it.

i_m a teen (just moved away from olympia) and i would say a good neighborhood is near olympia highschool/washington middle school. the houses there are a little older but nice. if you_re looking for newer houses, i would live near hawks prairie in lacey. the houses and apartments there are newer

I am from here and also younger and I would think you would like Lacey better because some parts of Olympia are not nice. It all depends on what you like, if you like the hippy/gay scene then move downtown oly or westside. If you are moving into an apartment i would pick lacey but their is good neighborhoods in both areas. Just drive through and look.

What requirements are there to cross the border from San Diego to Tijuana?|177886

I_m going on a trip to San Diego this weekend, and if we have time, we wanted to go to Tijuana. I know you don_t need a passport, but what do you need?

Well I live in San Diego and go to Tijuana all the time to go eat or party and all you need is your I.D. And make sure no one goes over there without one or forgets it somewhere in TJ, because then you get put in secondary, and it takes like 3 hours to get out of there.

i think you need a passport now as of jan 1 07. id check the internet.

My sister very recently went to Mexico and checked first. (I listened in.) They told her she only needed a passport to go into Mexico by air or water. They have just changed that temporarily with the exception that you need to have proof that you have applied for one, but it will be required again in the future. By land, she did not need one unless she would be there for a long time. It never hurts to have one when traveling outside of the U.S.
Good luck and have fun!

What is the best place just outside of Seattle to live, thats inexpensive, low crime rate, with good schools?|176172

My husband is considering applying for a police officer position in Seattle and we are debating if the pay is worth the cost of living.

North Bend is a small town about a 35 minute drive to Seattle. There is no inexpensive living until you get over the mountians and that gets you too far away to be able to commute. North Bend is a very nice town with very good people and very few problems. It has a nice blend of old town and new town. It_s worth a look!

There are some great areas, but whatever you do, DO NOT move to Federal Way or Auburn.

My parents moved us to Auburn, and I was in the Federal Way Public School District. Had an utterly miserable time of things there. Three kids died at my junior high and I could do five Jaeger shots in a row by the age of 13, if that_s any indicator of how much the area blows.

Renton...great schools, super fun water park (1/2 price if you_re a Renton resident, though it_s only open in the summer), great performing arts center, easy to get to Seattle by bus (though I-405 traffic is bad if you drive alone during rush hour), fun 4th of July fireworks show, nice beaches, Cedar River Trail for biking or strolling, and The Landing is the new development that_s in the process of opening...so far we have a brand new Target, Lowe_s, Petsmart and a few other stores, but coming soon is a 17-plex movie theater and lots of other stores.

I recommend the Highlands neighborhood of Renton...you get all of the above, plus potentially a KILLER view. We paid $185K for our house 5 years ago...probably worth $285K now, and we have 1200 sq ft, 1/3 acre lot, 1 car garage, wonderful neighbors, and a view from Lake Washington to Federal Way. You_re not going to get a place like that in Seattle for less than $800K.

It is hard to find a nicer place than the Olympic or Kitsap Peninsula.

Bothell, Washington has terrific schools and it has a very low crime rate. Currently the housing prices in the Seattle area are still very high. In the paper the other day it talked about how sellers do not want to sell their houses at _lowered_ prices. They want to _stick_ to the higher prices of a few months ago.
Duvall, Carnation, Marchias, Lake Stevens are places you may want to search on the web for housing.

Good luck in your search.

same with my dad

he was a seattle cop and we moved to kent

it has the third largest school district in washington and has alot of tech
no crime
and there are alot of cool things to do

Used to live in a small _sub-community_ called Malty which is actually in the unicorporated area of Snohomish on your way to Monroe.

I think it depends on what type of amenities you are looking for and what type of people you want to live around. I don_t know where you are moving from so I can_t give you a good comparison. But, the cost of living is higher than what you might think.

I would live IN Snohomish, they are some nice subdivisions, but for me - not my style of environment on the types of people. Woodinville is nice, and Bothell is too. Kirkland is okay but really expensive. Up Highway 9 (which is Snohomish) is nice depending how far up you go. Past that is Lake Stevens, which has some nicer areas, but the schools are not that great from what I remember.

We relocated from there 7/06. Good luck in your research, hope it works out for you.
