How long does it take to walk from LA to Riverside?|160555

I_m writing a book, and I need to know the answer to the question above. Please help ASAP!

Depending on your starting point, i believe it is a Total Estimated Distance is 59 miles. Considering the walking pace and speed of the average human to be 3 to 4 miles per hour,(this number is sooo avg. because you must consider a persons size,weight, stride etc.) It will take you 19.7 to 14.5 hours depending on the criteria listed. Off the top of my head give yourself a couple of days for walking and rest. hope i could help

Where in LA is the starting point?
Where in Riverside is the destination?

You can find out by using Google Maps.

According to yahoo mat downtown LA to down town Riverside is 56 miles. At 2.0 miles/hr that would be 28 hours.

What moving company should I use if I move from Portland, Oregon to Chicago?|157293

I want them to move all my stuff for me too and do all the packaging. I don_t have much stuff to move - only a small apartment.

Use either Bekins Moving Co. (phone: 866-761-6402) or Allied Moving (phone 877-224-0351) DO NOT use Graebel Movers - they moved me from Portland, OR to Dallas, TX and did over $10,000 worth of damage to my furniture and piano.

I myself like U-Haul, but they don_t move your stuff: only sell boxes and rent moving vans. Allied and Penske will do it, though. I_d say one of those three.

North America Moving Systems an excellent company go yto

I had a neighbor use United Van Lines. And she told me that
they did it all. They were going to wrap and pack her dishes
and all of the nitty gritty stuff as well. So all she had to take
herself, was her jewelry and whatever else she didn_t want out
of her sight to take in the car. She said she_d used them be-_
fore and was happy with the care they gave her things and
that she had no worries. But she paid for the extra care with
the packing of everything. But not having that extra stress is
probably well worth the extra cost.
I have seen these vans as well as Allied Van Lines over
the years. But more of United trucks on the freeways.

Call several moving companies and get estimates. Ask for FREE estimates. They can tell you if they have a load going that way already ... they can include yours in the same truck ... save you some money.

How much should I trip a limo driver?|120344

I_m having a limo company take me to the airport from my home in one of their black sedan limos. How much should I tip them if I paid $79 total for the transport to the airport 30miles away from my home at 5:30am on a Saturday morning? I will also be the only one being picked up and will have only have 1 luggage. I live in Santa Clara, California and am going to Oakland Airport. Thanks.

As a former _Limo Jockey_...

$20- $30 bucks would be a _handsome_ (from the handsome cab days of old) tip.

Try to remember this:

You are bailing at 5:30 am on Saturday, which means he is up way earlier to be in position to pick you up. 30 miles takes him out of service range for any additional work.

You want to be remembered for future business trips, and a way to get remembered and treated with the utmost Customer Service is a gracious gratuity.

Of course if the driver turns out to be a bum, well he gets what he gets.

A professional driver should have a morning paper or two on the back seat for your arrival, and perhaps even a hot beverage.

I used to do many early am airport deliveries and always made sure my clients had a morning paper such as the Wall Street Journal (if I knew the clients destination, a local paper from that area); and of course a hot coffee or tea depending on the clients needs (here is where repeat business is crucial to the driver, and company bottom line).

I always made it a point to take note of my guests preferences such as coffee or tea (one guest preferred a cold soda), as well as basic routines. Was this person on the phone doing preparatory work before traveling? This means they are not paying attention to me or where we are going (do I have all the information I need to deliver my guest).

The list of Exceptional Customer Service tasks in this industry is monumental; but certainly attainable. Measure and balance your gratuity to what other services the company provided and go from there.

trip? use ur foot ...hahah

Only once, you don_t want to hurt him too much.

ew nothing
hes friggen taking you in a SEDAN!
ughh they are hidious
fire him and either get a humer limo
or i went in a mercedes one once

How to get from London to Toms River New Jersey, and how long it takes?|144292

I want to fly from London - what airport should I go to? How do I get from there to Toms River? How long should I allow for the airport to Toms River journey?

London England? the flight would be between 7.5 and 12.5 hours. it will cost about $700 round trip. (sorry i don_t know pounds) Aer Lingus and bmi both fly and would land at either PHL or JFK. PHL be closer of the to Toms River. it would be and 1:45 to drive or if you take mass transit closer to 3:30. your could fly out of either LHR or LGW.

What is the most economical way of transport for sight seeing in New York?|155202

Hi,

We are a couple of friends visiting NY for a week and were seeking the most convenient and economical way of visiting the popular sights. Both of us are University students and should also be eligible for student discounts if offered anywhere.
We will appraciate any ideas and recommention.

Thanks for you help.

The subways and buses will be the most economical way to get around the city and both are quite easy and safe to use. The Transit Authority has a guide with all the routes, or you can find these in many NYC guidebooks. A bit of study before your visit will get you familiarized with the system, which is very logical, for the most part.

Quite often, if you go to the website of an attraction you will find information on what bus/train to take to get there.

To save some money, you may want to check out CityPass, which is a one-price ticket that includes many NYC attractions. You would have to do a bit of research to see whether this would actually save you money or not.

Have a great trip!

The best and economical way to do sight seeing in New York City is by public transit and on foot.

In regards to public transit, the fare on the subway is $2.25 a person, per ride. However, since you_re all going to be in town for a week, may I recommend purchase a 7-day Unlimited Ride MetroCard for $27 a person. The 7-day Unlimited Ride MetroCard will coming pertty handy when making multiple trip on the subway and local bus system in the City.

Now, the reason the card is cost $27 a person is because the card can not be shared. I_ll say it again, _The Card Can Not Be Shared_. Therefore, each of you have to purchase an individual card.

Also, many of the main attractions offer discount on ticket when you use you MetroCard. One of them is the Titanic exhitbition in Times Square. I_ve included a link to the information blow.


http://nativenewyorker10454.blogspot.com��


In regards to walking, most of the attraction in New York City are with walking distance to each other. For example, Times Square and Rockefeller Center are with a 10 to 15 minutes walking distance from each other (depending on your walking pace). So, if you rather not to take the subway, you can just walk from one place to the other.

Please note that you might want to pack some comfortable pair of shoe if you_re going to be doing a lot of walking in the Big Apple.

I hope this information is very helpful.

Good luck

How bad is the problem with water in the southwest, specifically the Las Vegas, Nevada area?|191005

I am planning on moving to the Las Vegas, Nevada area within the next 2 years and I would like to know, how bad the problem with water is in that area. also, are their any plans to fix the problem if possible in the future. Thanks!!!!

The water problems are serious, but perhaps not as bad as the press would have you believe. The huge growth of Las Vegas is a major factor, as are the current drought conditions.

If history is a guide, the drought will be self correcting over a period of years. The growth is likely to continue.

One of the excellent programs in place to help conserve is an incentive program offered by the Las Vegas Valley Water Authority. Right now they are offering a rebate of $1.50 per square foot to replace lawns with water smart landscaping.

See this link for more information:

The water savings are huge. We switched from grass to a desertscape a few years ago and our water bill dropped by 75%. That means we are now using only a quarter of the water we used before.

Channeling rainfall back into Lake Mead also helps, and I_m told other measures are in place or in the works.

One good indicator of an area_s probable future is new construction.

Right now there is more than $40,000,000,000 (yes billion) worth of new construction underway. The people involved in these projects would certainly not be building if they weren_t certain water would be available.

Hope this helps

Its pretty bad. There are restrictions on what day and time you can water your plants. If you don_t abide by them, it_s a 300$ fine. Currently, it is ILLEGAL for new homes being built to have a grass front yard. You are only allowed to have rocks or alternative grass. The RJ wrote an article saying by 10 years, Lake Mead will be so receeded, the town underneath can be inhabited. They really should stop giving water to Utah and Northern Nevada and leave it for the people who have no other water source.

Lake Mead is sinking alarmingly fast. Many marinas have dried up and some people say if they cant figure something out fast there wont any marinas left in 10 years.

Odds are with all the billions and billions in revenue that state in gambling, they will come up with some kind of soloution. But they better do it fast.

Plans, they request residents yank out the grass and put in native desert plants. I think the estimate the Lake Mead water reservoir for electricity and drinking/shower water supply will dry up by 2020.

They over built so miraculously badly!
