What rides are not suitable for overweight people at Universal Studios?|190019

My entire family and I are going to Universal Studios and my father in law is worried about the rides. He is 5_8_, about 360lbs, and carries most of it in his lower body. He has no problems at Disneyland. Thanks! (Also please be kind, he is a very nicer person so keep your mean comments to yourself)

You_ll probably be fine. Most rides only restrict people who are morbidly obese from riding and 360 pounds at 5_8 is not morbidly obese. When going on the rides just be sure to read the warning signs first and see if they mention a maximum weight capacity. I have seen people who weigh way more then 360 lbs go on many rides without problems. Usually it is waterslides where you only have to worry about it in that weight range is all.

I_m not sure about all but I know the Mummy ride does not have seats big enough for bigger people.
My uncle couldn_t get on : [

Two adults and a nine and a five year old; we need a safe place to ride without vehicle traffic.

a short drive North to U.S.M.C. Camp Pendleton

Pendleton allows civilians to take the paved bike path.

Here is a list of trails in Carlsbad. Some might allow bikes.

What process do I have to go through to emigrate to the USA permanently?|175976

I really want to move there and just wondered what I have to do, how long it will take etc. Another point, I live at home with my parents so haven_t got large amounts of furniture etc so would it be best to sell the furniture and buy new out there?

Immigrating to the U.S. takes years. If you do not have immediate family members in the U.S., or a huge amount of money to invest, or a very rare job skill...the only way is to apply through the Diversity Lottery Program. You must register for the lottery 2 years ahead of time...there is open registration each fall. Then about one of every 60 applicants is chosen to be interviewed for consideration. The process costs several thousand dollars and takes several years. Not every country qualifies for the diversity lottery program. Any country that has sent more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. in the past few years, is off the list for at least 2 years.. What I am saying here is that it is a very difficult process and you need to be very sure it is what you want. If you are from the U.K ( eccept for Northern Ireland) you are not currently eligible to apply. See sites below to read more about the immigration process. It is equally difficult for an American citizen to immigrate to the U.K. If you are from the U.K., the entire E. U. is open to you, and you may explore that option.

Furniture will be the least of your issues.
1st you need to visit the US embassy or consulate closest to you and get all the requisite information.
It won_t be easy to LEGALLY immigrate.

Depending on where you are from and your circumstance look for 2 to 7 years to get a green card (makes you legal to get work), than another 5 to 10 years after that for citizenship.

If you have a special skill you may be able to work sooner with an H1-B or other type of VISA, but you need to be sponsored by an employer for one of them (basically have a job already before you come to the US).

You basically need a job in the US, and that means you need an employer who will sponsor a work visa for you (can_t get a work visa on your own).

Check with US companies with offices in the UK and UK companies that operate in the USA to apply for jobs. Big hotel chains like Hilton and Marriott hire international staff. Most government agencies in the USA have a citizenship requirement, but an exception is the City of New Orleans:

An option you might want to consider is going to university in the USA. Obtaining a student visa is much easier than getting a work visa, and you MAY be able to work on-campus while attending university. That will also give you a diploma that is more easily recognized by US employers, and the university will help you search for jobs as you get close to graduation. Going to school in the USA long-term will also help you decide if emigrating is really what you want to do.

As examples, some universities where I live with many international students are:


http://www.loyno.edu/


http://www.tulane.edu/


http://www.uno.edu/


UK citizens can visit the US without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program, which makes traveling for interviews much easier. You can_t work or go to school under the VWP, but job/school interviews, tests, and medical exams are OK.


Good luck!

Well first you have to give up on the real world - then you just have to accept that you don_t want to be part of the civilised world and go from there - enjoy!

Why don_t you go for a year to work there first, and see how you like it. It might not really suit you ....

What is the easiest way to get from Sequoia National Park to Las Vegas?|155528

I am going to be hiking from Yosemite Valley to Sequoia National Park. Then from Sequoia National Park I need to somehow get to Las Vegas. What would be the easiest and least expensive way. Bus, Train, or renting a car. Also what city would I have to go to? Thanks

The _easiest_ way to get from Sequoia to Las Vegas is probably to take the Sequoia-Visalia shuttle, which will run $10-15 depending on the day (weekends are $15), then take an Amtrak or a Greyhound bus from there to Las Vegas. That will run roughly $55 on top of the Sequoia-Visalia shuttle.

One other way to get to Las Vegas is probably to hitchhike to Fresno, and from Fresno take a Greyhound bus to Las Vegas. Tickets for the Greyhound route run between 60 and 90 dollars, depending on when you go and what kind of ticket you have. I_d suggest getting your ticket ahead of time to get lower rates.

Otherwise, renting a car would be pretty expensive, and I believe you_d have to make to to Fresno anyway to find a place to rent from. Bus, by far, would be the cheapest.

How far is the BAPE or BBC/ICE CREAM store from Times Square New York City?|154461

Me and my dad are planning a visit to NYC soon, and I am interested in going to those stores, so thanks for the help!

BBC/Ice Cream is in SoHo on 456 West Broadway. From Times Square you_ll want to take a downtown R train to Prince St. This will put you at Prince and Broadway. From there walk about 4 blocks west and you_re there.

Where is the best place to pick and drop at the Palace Theatre in Albany?|138603

We are attending a show at the Palace Theatre in Albany but are not sure where the best locations to be dropped off and picked up without hitting to much traffic....Any suggestions?

Albany isn_t that big. www.palacealbany.com has a link to a map of the area. Take a look and pick a place -- I_d bet a block toward I-787 would be fine.
