How do you get to Yankee Stadium on the train from Connecticut?|157717

I am going to a Yankees game in a couple weeks and am taking the train to Yankee Stadium for the first time. I was just wondering how to get there. I know i take Metro-North and get off at 125th St., but I_m not really sure what I do afterward

You COULD walk east one block, then catch the #4 IRT subway NORTHBOUND to Yankee Stadium (only one or two stops depending on the time of day).

I would go all the way into Grand Central. You can catch the #4 train there, too. It_ll take a little longer, maybe half an hour.

You_ll need to purchase a METRO card in either case. You can get these at the subway entrance. I think many of them take credit cards these days.

You don_t say whether you are going for a day game or night game. Certainly Grand Central is a lot more secure at night.

What are the best places to spend a great march vacation in Florida?|110523

With the exception of Key West, Palm Beach, Orlando and Miami Beach thank you.
Looking for a nice hot weather, with warm water and 5 star hotels.

Amelia Island. They have the Amelia Island Plantation and The Ritz Carlton.

Sanabel and Captiva, on the southwest coast probably do more to _keep out the riff raff_ than any other ocean communities. There is a high fee for crossing the access bridge to the islands, and virtually no parking places or beach access for non-residents. I get around this by paddling my kayak over from the mainland and renting a bike. (I_m riff raff maybe?) Cabbage Key, a little further north is more isolated but they sure do pamper you.

Destin FL is beautiful you should check it out.

If you_re looking for something a little more relaxing, try Naples, Fort Meyers Beach, or Sanibel Island in SW Florida.

Islamorada, Ft lauderdale

St.Petersburg, FL

Pensacola of course

My parents live in Naples _ it is absolutely beautiful! Many upscale restaurants, shops, _ hotels. There is a Ritz-Carlton right on Vanderbilt Beach (see
http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties��
Very nice dining _ shopping on 5th Ave. in downtown Naples. Pazzo_s has wonderful Italian food _ Tommy Bahama_s is always delicious! The Turtle Club on Vanderbilt beach is very nice for dinner....sit outside on the beach _ watch the sunset while eating.

Hot weather in March? You need to go as far south as Miami for that. I don_t think it_s hot in Miami in March. You should look to the Carribbean or Mexico or South America for hot weather in March.

How old should kids be to visit and get the most out of Disneyland/world?|154266

We_re thinking of visiting Disneyland next year when our kids will be almost 4 and 6. Is this still too young? Should we wait another year yet?

Take them NOW!

I started taking my youngest daughter before she turned 3. She doesn_t remember much of it, but Mrs. Obviousman and I do. We have wonderful memories of our youngest on the rides at Disneyland, and the pictures to prove it. She doesn_t remember back that far (most long term memory doesn_t start until 4 or 5), but she enjoy the memories and you will too.

BTW, this is an excellent time to go. The lines are the shortest of the year.

However, while they are there, they will get a sense of the Disney Magic that they may not remember specifically, but it will stick with then nonetheless.

Well I went a lot of times when I was little, I think around your kids age and I don_t remember a thing about it. My mom regretted taking me there at such a young age because I got nothing out of it at all. I only remember one thing that happened at Disneyland out of all three times I went there when I was little. I think the best age to go it around 8 or so. I went again when I was 13 and it was so much fun because I went on so many rides and all. So that was worth the money cause I got something out of it. Also I enjoyed it a lot with a lot more to go down the road for the memory part. . Also the height would be better too so that they can go on certain rides. Also, a tip about Disney World. If you do go there spend a week there. Cause there is no way you can fit it all in for like 3 days or so. We went there and we crammed it all in for 2 days and it was all a rush. We didn_t get to go on many rides cause we wanted to go to all four parks.

Hope I helped!

some kids that age would love to go to disney land and meet the princesses and mickey mouse but i went when i was 8 and everything was way to baby like i guess-take them now-its an experience to never forget especially if your young and into all that stuff-the rides are really fun and the line are very long so if your kids r patient and have a lot of fun with disney-take um-they_ll love it!

You should wait until the youngest is between 8-10 because then he/she can go on all the rides. At 4 and 6, they_ll definitely be able to enjoy it but would be bummed if they wanted to go on a ride but couldn_t because they didn_t meet the height requirement.

I would wait one more year. My memories are pretty clear after Kindergarten. I_d say 7 would be an ideal age, and your oldest will be that age next year, and your youngest will be in K, so that_s my vote. You can blame me when your kids scream and complain!

I think 10 and older.They don_t get tired as easily and can enjoy the parks all day.I just came back from Disneyland and seen so many grouchy toddlers and little ones asleep in their buggy_s.It seems like such a waste to be there sleeping through everything.

I think that_s a great age.The 4 yr is ready the 6yr old is definitely there.I notice when the kids are to young the life like characters are to scary.They should have a great time.One day is never enough so save up your money.

i was 11, loved it, my bro was 7 he loved it to, im only slightly above average height (currently about 5ft 10) and i was tall enough for most if not all the rides back then

i think you should wait because we went when i was that young and i dont even remember now. looking at the pictures i cant even remember it AT ALL lol. i really would wait.

I think that they are old enough to go to the disneyland part.
But NOT the california adventures part, which is the best part of all.
=)

Yeah that is fine there are lots of rides they can go on but if they are scared of fast rides don_t take them on Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, or Matterhorn. Those rides are fast.

I think 4 and 6 will be great!! They_re old enough to do a whole lot, and they will remember the trip.

I think it would be silly to take kids under age 3 1/2.

Have fun!

You might want to wait till your 4 year old is 6. 4 is still pretty little. I_d say wait until 7 and 9, but it depends on how long you want to wait.

6 is too young, my nephew climbed up the Swiss Family Robinson tree house twice, and was done for the day.

my parent took me when i was ten and my sister was eight and i can just remember it
wait a year maybe so they will remember it :-) x

wait unti they_re 6 and 8 that way they remember everything

I would say wait until the youngest is at least 6 or 7 so he will remember it

no dont do it, i forgot everything when i went at 5, wait till they are 8 and 10

The first time i visited i was 5 or 6. The ages they are now sound perfect, they will love it! Have a nice time xx

16 to 18 years old.

I would recommend 6. That is the age we first went with our daughter and she was able to make it to about 9 PM before being too tired to walk.

properly like 10..... or when your over that height requirement

they should be at least 7 cause i went when i was 6 and i dont remember a thing!

How far is New Braunfels away from San Antonio?|193780

My family is going to San Antonio, S. Padre Island, and Galveston. We thought of going to Schlitterbahn, but some of us are deciding which one to go to. I want to go to the New Braunfels one, since it_s bigger, has more rides than the rest, has that river adventure thing, and a ride that was voted the best waterpark ride in the world numerous times. The problem is I don_t know the distance between San Antonio and N.B. How long will it take by car to get from one place to the other?

It_s really close to San Antonio. Probably about 30 minutes if Interstate 35 isn_t too backed up. It sounds like a great trip. Have fun!

its only about 25 miles to San Antonio

About 30 minutes. And honestly its not that great. Its river water youre swimming in. Like fishes going down the slide next to you.

Where are nice places to raise a family in California?|106863

I_m considering moving my young family to California. What are some nice places to raise a middle class family there? My ideal place would be mid-sized towns/cities that are culturally diverse and have low crime and are generally nice suburban areas with comfortable sized affordable homes and good schools and jobs. Aesthetic views are a plus. Anyone have any ideas?

what is_ Aesthetic views _?

go thousands oaks or simi valley in SoCal

move to burlingame or san carlos in NorCal

There are a lot of places that are nice to raise a young family and most of California is culturally diverse so no problem there. Since California is a huge state with not a lot of job opportunities I would first worry about finding a job and then look in that region at the different communities. At least that way it would narrow down your options and make advice more useful and manageable.

What bus in manhattan do i take to get to the bronx?|104772

I live in Manhattan and I am trying to find a way to go to Metropolitan avenue in Parkchester in the bronx. What bus would i take to go there?

Just take the 6 train its much easier.

Depending on what part of Manhattan you_re living in, you will have to take multiple buses to get from Manhattan to Parkchester. My advice take the subway instead.

Drop me a line, by click on the avatar and e-mail icon in the profile and I be glad to help with travel direction by subway.

Good luck

U can always know at

Just put ur locations in the get directions on the left and then put by public transportation. Good luck!

What types of natural disasters, weather problems, etc. are common to the Portland/Salem, OR area?|140387

We are planning on moving up there and would like to know what types of natural disasters/emergencies occur there. In Las Vegas we have flash flooding, drought, wind, and extreme heat. We don_t really get tornadoes, hurricanes, snowstorms, etc.

Once a year we get tons of rain in the late fall and winter, beautiful summers, springs and early falls. Mild winters. We usually get 2 weeks of hot weather in July or August (95 to 100 degrees).

Once in 10 years we get:
An earthquake above 4.5 (we don_t count the small ones)
Hurricane wind storm which knocks down trees and causes a huge mess.
Serious snowstorm - anything over 4_ is considered a serious snowstorm here. Generally, it will snow but it melts when it hits the ground so it_s just pretty to look at.
Serious flooding - it_s been at least 10 years since a major river has flooded. If you move here DON_T buy a house in a flood plain.

Once every 25 years or so:
A serious Volcano eruption (but we always get plenty of warning before a major eruption).

The great thing about the Northwest is that the weather is mild in general. The main problem here is rain and it is usually light rain anyway. Sometimes heavier rain storm do cause flooding issues and occasionally there are wind storms that could knock out the power. Once or twice a year there could be some snow or ice as well, but it never sticks around. Snow typically melts the same day or the next day. Overall, we_re pretty lucky in the Northwest to have mild weather compared to many other places. The summers are gorgeous and they are not too hot. One last possible natural disaster that could happen is if Mt. Saint Helens blows.

They had some fairly serious flooding there this fall. Also freezes, the occasional earthquake and there_s always the threat of volcanic eruption from several regional, active peaks. Closer to the coast, you have a tsunami danger.

Well, we don_t get many... fires, flooding (If you live in a low area), RAIN, sometimes wind, um...... that_s all.

You_ll love it here!

It rains a lot but I wouldn_t call it a disaster :) Minor flooding occasionally but not really so much in the Portland area as in surrounding, more rural or coastal places in Oregon. I wouldn_t worry about it.
