What are the strangest places to visit in New Orleans or Baton Rouge?|108703

I_m taking my first trip to New Orleans and Baton Rouge in the middle of August. I_m looking for any weird, strange, unusual, atypical places including shops, hotels, tours that would make the trip more than memorable. I would appreciate any recommendations.

  • I_ve done a few tours by these guys. They do a great job.

  • What are upcoming dates for Creationist tours of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science?|193243

    What are upcoming dates for Creationist tours of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science?
    I understand that they are private groups, but I was wondering if anybody had any contact with one or more of these groups and could give me a website or some contact information, or the next tour?
    And yes, I_ve already contacted the DMNS about it.

  • Wow - I had never heard of this - but a google search came up with this group - BC Tours. I am going to contact them about seeing if I can_t set up a time to join a group with my kiddos.

    Thanks for the question - I learned something new!

  • WHAT are you talking about????

    Private schools and homeschoolers have those just for themselves and their friends.

    There is no such thing as an organized by the museum tour of that nature!

    And I don_t think they do them on any sort of schedule...it_s like...the parents get together and say..._Let_s take the kids to the Museum! We have to teach them that none of that scientific information is accurate, though._

  • You really want to learn more about these tours? Please read this blog for all you need to know.

  • How can I get cheap tickets to Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas?|192845

    I_m going to be in Las Vegas from March 4th-6th. I really want to go to one of the Cirque du Soleil shows while I_m there, but we_re on a little bit of a budget. We honestly don_t care which show we go to, and we_re willing to sit in the nosebleed section if that_s what it takes.

    So does anybody know where/how I can find affordable tickets? Anywhere online? Is there any possibility of finding cheap tickets once I get there?

  • if you want to go but would not be TOO upset if you didn_t get to- I would go to Tix4tonight we were there in january and they had tickets to LOVE, and Zumanity!! We got ticketst to love for as cheap as $55 each!!

  • I must tell you that I have been to Las Vegas many times and have never seen discounts for the Cirque de Soleil shows, so the website that Sara has pointed you to is amazing. I would say that the recession must be really biting and that a 25% discount is huge so grab it while you can!

    Enjoy

  • there are some cirque offers on smartervegas.com:

  • www.vegas.com

    Great website if you are visiting Las Vegas.
  • How much money would it be if i were to move to USA Texas from Canada?|143294

  • depends how you move..uhaul, moving company, only you in your car with what you can fit in....gas is at least 3.50/gallon in the US...uhauls use alot of gas or diesel......I moved from Texas to Canada in 2005, fuel costs approx 1000.00 then and was alot cheaper/gallon....and Texas is a huge state, where in Texas? we moved from the Texas/Mexico border, thats 700 miles across Texas alone......
  • What do I need to change when moving to another state?|160012

    Hello
    I am planning on moving to Naples Florida later in 2009. I currently live in Indiana and was wondering what do I have to change when I get there. I figured my license, insurance, plates. I know I am forgetting a lot of thing. What else?

  • Driver_s license, plates, and insurance have to be done. But you_ll want to get the change of address card at the post office (where they usually have coupons on moving stuff). You_ll want to change the address for all your mail (credit cards, magazines, etc.)

    You will need to prearrange with your current utilities a shut off date and your new utilities a turn on date. Plus if you currently lease an apartment, check the lease for the time requirements to notify your landlord of the move in case it states it automatically renews without notice. Also check online for a new place.

    You most likely will be able to keep your cell phone company and number. I know lots of people, myself included, whose cell phone numbers don_t match the state they_re in (and since a lot of people don_t pay for long distance calls, it_s really a non-issue). If you bank with a large bank that has branches where you are and at the new place, no need to change banks. Otherwise, with direct deposit, you may not even need to change banks, if you like your current bank.

  • You will need to fill out a change of address at the post office. Also, notify your credit card companies of your change of address. Notify the phone and utility companies when to stop service...also cable and internet services. Got to your doctor and dentist offices and sign a permission slip so that when you get a new doctor and dentist after moving, the new docs can send for copies of your records. You will need to close or transfer your bank accounts. Need to change your cell phone service too.
  • What advice could you give for moving to NY?|117696

    I_m planning a move by the end of the year to Long Island, NY to finish my education as a journalist. I_m a 20yo female, and could use the advice.

  • Ask yourself, ��Do I really need to move to NYC?�� If you answered no or is unsure then vacation in New York City until you are sure.

    On your visit, here are a few things to bring to New York City.

    http://411newyork.org/guide/2008/03/13/t��


    Second, ask yourself, ��Where am I going to live?�� If you don��t know where, you better start hunting for an apartment.

    Third, ask yourself, ��What happens when I need help?�� If you don��t know then, you will have to start looking for friends in NYC.

    Fourth, ask yourself, ��How am I getting there?�� You have to save up to pay for your moving expense and storage.

    Fifth, ask yourself, ��Will I be able to get a job?�� No money from a job and soon your savings will be finished and you will be out on the streets and in the cold.

    Sixth, ask yourself, ��Can I go back to where I moved from?�� Most people move back when things get rough here so don��t burn your bridges and keep in touch with old friends.

    Good luck,

    Steve

  • Only Jamaican Steve answered well. NYC is a fantastic place to come when you are young. Vibrant, tons of things to do, exciting etc. It is also expensive and this is the biggest obstacle in anyone_s way. LI is IMHO suburbia at it_s worst but you could live there more cheaply as it is further from Manhattan. The Long Island Rail Road will get you into the city easily (but you are bound to the LIRR schedule which can be a drag). Save as much money as possible. Scan ads for the cost of housing, research cost of utilities (cable, electricity, gas,) land line or just cell phone, cost of commute from LI to Manhattan or Brooklyn to go out etc. Cost of food, entertainment etc. Figure out what your monthly nut will be and then see if you can pull it off. Many people do so just keep that in mind.

  • I do hope your parent are supporting to b/c it_s not cheap living in NYC.

    I would know, i live with my mom, and i am in debt, there is NO WAY i can move out any time soon.

    I will give you advice though, if you do move here keep your doors locked.

    I hope you have well off parents, b/c if you are supporting yourself, you will be stress out of your mind b/c of bills.

  • You_ll need to be able to dress for all 4 seasons. Have a warm winter coat, boots, hat and scarf.

    Take some time and see New York City. Long Island is pretty much just one big suburb. Hit the museums, see at least one play and experience the different neighborhoods of NYC. The trains from LI to the city are reasonable so there is no reason you can_t go.

    Living in LI will be cheaper than in NYC, but it still won_t be cheap so be sure you have your finances in order.

    Be sure you find a good forest and walk through it in Autumn. The fall leaves in the North East have amazingly beautiful colors and if you are going to be there you should see them!

  • first r u gonna work in the city?? if so move closer traffic is horrible and confusing if ur gonna study in long island might as well do it and are u gonna be in the ghetto? TIPS; be caareful theres a lot of crazy ppl in nyc and u never get rest its such a busy city and the weather is horrible MY OPINION come if you can handle

  • dontt do it. way too expensive to live here. i was born here and i cant wait to move out when i get married
  • What clothes are good for Cincinnati this time of year, if the forecast says 55-70 degrees?|118734

    I_m going to Cincinnati on a school rip and need to know what to pack!

  • pants and long sleeve shirts. You_ll need a light jacket for early morning and at night here

  • Layers. There is a substantial difference between high and low temperatures in the course of a day.

    And a lightweight rain-proof jacket. It has not rained recently, which means that we may be eligible for a downpour at any moment.

  • Jeans and a light sweater for outdoor wear should be sufficient. But should bring along a light rain jacket and cap too. For indoor/evening events, business casual is the best way to go.

  • It was very cool (with frost on my windshield) this morning but then it warmed up quite nicely by afternoon.

    I would suggest jeans and long sleeved shirts and you can take along a light jacket to wear in the mornings or evenings.

  • Jeans, light weight long sleeve shirts. People tend to dress pretty upscale there too.
