Would it be cheaper to commute to NYC from Long Island or Newark?|100163

We are planning on visiting NYC. The hotels in Newark are about 10-20 dollars cheaper than Long Island. The four of us want to see NYC, and would it be cheaper for us to commute from Long Island or Newark?

Jersey is always cheaper. But try this

Take Newark to NYC and go to njtransit.com the commuter railroad
take the city on Long Island and go to NY PEnn Station and use either longislandrailroad.com or mta.com and see what the daily off peak rate would be for travel.

Jersey food and all the other stuff is cheaper. No sales tax on food in NJ.

Commute from Newark: New Jersey Transit_s more dependable and very few, if any delays.

LIRR: more delays compared to NJT.

Cheaper: Newark
Safer: Long Island
Shorter Commute: Newark
More frequent trains: Newark

Newark

But Newark is also ALOT less safe than Long Island, there are parts of Newark that you cant really be in after dark, cuz its too dangerous.

It_s faster and cheaper from Newark. If you stay in and around your hotel in Newark, you should be fine for safety.

Also, what bus or train would I need to take? And anyone know how much I_d have to spend? I_m trying to get there ASAP, because otherwise I_ll lose my flight: I get to the Greyhound station at 1 pm and my flight leaves at 3:25 pm.

you are going have a problem you are required to get to the airport
2 hours early which is 1:25pm
the bus to the airport leave before your greyhound bus arrives
(12:59pm)
now I have a question for you-
where are coming from you have to use greyhound in the first place?
from San Diego? Oceanside? Los Angeles? Riverside? , Irvine?then there
is NO need to take greyhound in the first place as there is alternete transportation
as there is going be 99% chance
your bus will be late in the first place
if it even arrives at all if the driver doesnt get lost and doesnt get
into an accident or the bus doesnt breakdown or catch fire that is!~and the drive will probally not speak a word of enligsh either

a faster way to the airport would taxi of course
pleasse
note that the greyhound station in Santa Ana is also the Amtrak
stations well

10-20 mins depending on traffic.

Or you can walk, it will take over 2 hours.

60 seconds.

59 seconds Nic. c_mon bro!

What do you suggest for a vacation next March with my daughter and her 4 1/2 year old son?|139034

Should we go to Disney world or go on a beach holiday on the West coat of Florida? He is a good fun-loving child. My budget (including airfare from Canada) is $4,000 for one week.

My wife _ I went to Disney this year with our daughter who is not quite 4yrs. old.
I don_t know who had more fun, our daughter or us watching our daughter and seeing Disney through a child_s eyes.
It should not be missed _ if you go, bring a video camera, it_s worth it.
We stayed in the park at the contemporary, well worth it.
The meal plan is also worth getting.
Good luck in whatever you decide.

A Disney Cruise would be great.There are a lot of kids the same or close to his age probably and they have activities for everyone and babysitting if you want to go do some adult activities and you can go on a good one for that kind of money.probably get an ocean view suite. Deluxe Ocean view Stateroom, 214 sq. ft. - Sleeps 3, some sleep 4 - Queen-size bed or two twin beds and single convertible sofa, privacy divider, split bath, and most with picture windows. you can get this one and its a seven day eastern Caribbean cruise.good luck.

Which city in Alaska is a mustsee city for ppl (American ppl) who have never been to Alaska?|113145

I am looking for a city with enough touristy things to see and do, but that does not require too much walking (especially hard on elderly ppl). Thanks.

If anyone would go to Alaska, they ought to see the town of Homer, if at least just because it is what it is, and where it is.
If you flew into Anchorage, then saw somewhere else in Alaska without going to Homer, it would be like visiting Hong Kong without going to Macau.
Homer is only a short bus ride away, and for less than $40, easy on the pocket and Psyche, much easier than immediately, _staking it out to the Interior_, especially in a state as wild and unfamiliar as Alaska,
It takes a period of adjustment to spend seeing Alaska , realizing fully where you are, somewhere to take the edge off, to get your bearings. That_s what Homer is excellent for.
Also, Homer is a bohemian town with lots of Art and Culture, and fairly cheap: (by Alaska standards) , accommodation, food, B_B_s, nightlife etc.,(did someone mention cafes and bars?), where one can adjust, meet people, and find info about things to do, because the wilder places are rugged and involve adjustment to hardships necessary to endure, just to get there and really do, and what Alaska is.
Homer has maintained a longstanding tradition, since the days of Hemingway, to be easy and fun, slightly adventuresome, easier on the pocket than Anchorage, and great for for backpackers and adventurers just out of the bush going for a breather, or a salad break, without having continuous high excitement and hassle on one_s mind all the time, which you need to have to visit the Interior, or even the great outdoors which you are probably not yet used to.

Also, the Kenai Peninsula, where Homer is located, enjoys the most benign climate in Alaska..: Alaskans consider their pet sub-section known as the, _Banana Belt_, including Homer (very much the heart of) , and Kodiak Island, (where the largest bears in the world live), Valdez, (where the Spill was). Good and bad, yes, but this isn_t the bush yet, either.
Still, last time I was there, I got to go Halibut fishing, huge fish they clean and fish for daily out on Homer Spit, and then saw two Moose grazing on the edge of town, not afraid of me. Good, start I thought.

Fairbanks is the absolute _extreme Alaska_ , where there are brutally hot mosquitoey summers, then absolutely brutally cold winters, still something to see when you are ready, and a fun town worth going to. It is in the _Interior_.
Juneau is in the _Panhandle_. Very rainy in winter, but also fine.
Another, the Brooks Range and the _North Slope_, fantastic. Like having the Rocky Mountains, way north in the Arctic. Amazing for sighting Elk and Cariboo migrations, but in Summer, because I mean harsh and Arctic in winter.

All fine sections, good in their own way, but you have to be sure what it is you want.
Last time I was there.
Start with Homer.

Well Anchorage is by far the largest city, and there is quite a bit to see and do there, depending on your interests. It_s surrounded by mountains on 3 sides and the Cook Inlet on the other. I used to live there so if you have any specific questions I can try to help you. When are you going? The tourist season there is mostly over by now. Usually people visit in May, June or July. In August it begins to get cooler and rainy. Downtown Anchorage is flat and easily walkable. The only hilly part of town is Hillside, which you can drive to for awesome views.

Fairbanks is kinda old and dumpy but does have interesting gold mining history. There are no mountains or trees there, just hills and bushes.

Another city that_s really pretty is Ketchikan. Actually all the cities in _Southeast_ are gorgeous: Juneau is built against a mountain, Sitka has Russian architecture, Skagway has the largest Fjord in the world - even bigger than the ones in Norway.

Oh, one of my personal favorites is Seward. It_s 100 miles south of Anchorage on the ocean and totally gorgeous. It_s very quaint and cute with astounding scenery. Homer used to be a favorite and it_s still beautiful, but the town has grown a lot and gotten touristy. Email me if you have any other questions.

Approximately how much would a Grand Canyon vacation for two cost?|124724

My boyfriend and I have talked about doing this next year, and we_re estimating that doing the Grand Canyon right for approximately 10 days would cost $2K per person. Is this accurate?

Depends on a lot of things..
Where you_re coming from, wheen you_re going, what you want to do ..

Try this site.
They have great deals and lots of packages for different places.

Good Luck!

I recommend you get a national park pass for 1 year. It_ll end up costing you less than paying that many days at the Grand Canyon

What is considered doing The Canyon right and where are you starting this adventure of yours ?
