What are some things that I should take into account before moving from Minneapolis to Seattle?|177183

I plan on applying to a local college in Seattle then transferring to the U of W. My immediate family and I currently live just outside Minneapolis. I really love Seattle, but I_d like to know what I_m getting myself into before I apply anywhere. Any advice?

if you have been there its pretty much the same you just have to know where to never ever go in the area and thats pretty much it.

Places to see in NYC for the returning tourist?|103071

I have been to nyc before and need help planning my trip. Need ideas for my trip that are fun . I am going from the 30th to the 2nd of december-january.

I guess this all depends on what you did during your previous trip(s) to New York and what you would or wouldn_t like to do again.

The obvious answer, due to your time-frame, is to hang around Times Square and see the ball drop. But, I expect that_s a big factor as to why you_re going.

I would try shopping and eating around Greenwich Village and Chelsea. If you have a sweet tooth, I would add The Magnolia Bakery to my itinerary.

I have heard that the Staten Island Ferry is not only free, but has a great view of the Manhattan skyline.

Last, but not least, I love the theatre. There_s always new shows...so I_d go to the TKTS booth for half-price tickets and take in a Broadway musical or play.

radio city, statue of liberty, broadway, manhattan, rockefeller center.

go to the bronx zoo
walk around the cute shops and wonderful resturants on the lower east side (Zum Schnieder ...yum!)
walk the brooklyn bridge from brooklyn to manhattan at sunrise...
bundle up!!!
drink some of the best hot chocolate at la mason du chocolote ,city bakery or jaqcue torres chocolate

u gotta check out the mc berny ymca on west 26th. just remember not to stay there alot of roaches and mice in the rooms. i found out the hard way back in 95 when i stayed there for 9 days. wished i worked at a marriott hotel like i do now i could of stayed at a nicer hotel.

Carnige Hall, Rockefeller center, Statue of liberty, See a broadway show, Radio City, the lower part of Central park.....I think thats the name?!?\ also rideing on a ferry is fun.

Where is a safe place to move that is close to downtown Atlanta?|175173

Now, I_ve lived in the Atlanta area all my life. I_ve lived in stone mountain, lawrenceville, sandy springs, and now currently reside in Marietta. I_m a full time student at GSU, now in my junior year. I_m sick of the commute down 75 every day for school so I_ve decided to rent, with two other girls around my age, into a house downtown.

Now, I don_t want to live in the suburbs anymore, so I_m looking for a safe neighborhood that would be relatively affordable that_s within the city limits. Any suggestions?

Grant park area has changed and become more developed. So has summerhill, midtown (may be expensive), some parts of east atlanta, virginia highland area.

i went to gsu! i lived in a house in decatur for a while and it was quiet and safe out there. the rest of the time i lived in little 5 points which was fun but not so safe. it was also super convenient because of the marta train station right down the street. i think it was avondale station even though i lived in decatur. and you have the advantage of being near the decatur (dekalb?) farmers market too. the train was great -- gives you a chance for a last minute study session on the way to school.

Rent at Atlantic Station. You will have so much in walking distance like Publix and Target and many other shops and restaurants, plus, they provide a shuttle to take you to and from Marta. You would really cut down on driving. If you are splitting the rent 3 ways, you should be able to get a nice place and it won_t cost that much.

Inman Park or Candler Park area

try looking in the douglas ville area

What is the best place to stay when visiting Hawaii?|162097

This summer my family is going to Hawaii. We have friends that recommend we stay in a condo and others who suggest that we stay in a hotel. Which one would be better for a family with children age 13, 11, 9, and 7?

This site has many properties available in Hawaii with many choices family friendly. Go to

Have a nice trip

Definitely a condo. A two-bedroom condo will usually sleep 6 to 8 people, with some sleeping on fold-out beds in the living room. And, the parents get their own private room.

You also have full kitchens and even in-unit laundry at some places. With that many kids, this means you can pick up your supplies at a grocery store (figure about 1-1/2 to 2 times mainland prices, though) and make a lot of your own meals. This can be particularly handy for breakfast (cereal and milk) or lunch (quick sandwiches), instead of having to go out for every meal like you would have to at a hotel.

North of Lahaina and Kaanapali on the west side of Maui are areas called Honokowai and Kahana. These are on a road (lower Honoapiilani Highway) that_s off of the main highway, down by the waterfront. Along this road are dozens of rental condos that may go for about $1500 a week for a 2 bedroom unit. Where the lower highway turns off the main highway, there_s a grocery store called Star Market. You can also go to the Safeway off the main highway on the north end of Lahaina.

From this location, you should be right on the ocean or, at the worst, across the street from it. There aren_t very big waves, because of a barrier reef a couple hundred yards off shore. You may even be able to snorkel right off your own beach. The condo complexes also usually have pools overlooking the ocean. You also get views to Lanai and Molokai, as well as sunsets over the ocean. And during whale season (December to April), you can whale watch right on your own lanai.

This is a good location for activities, too. You_re only about 10 miles north of Lahaina, which is a great place to shop and sight see. There_s also a harbor there where most of your water based activities are based (some, like the Molokini snorkel/dive excursions, are based out of Maalaea Harbor, about 15 miles south of Lahaina).

But, I would definintely recommend a vacation rental condo in Honokowai or Kahana.

outrigger reef in waikiki has friendly service and great rooms, and is kid-friendly

turtle bay resort on north shore has a wonderful pool complex with a waterslide, a great beach with turtles, great prime rib restaurant and a fun atmosphere (a bit on the pricey side)

hilton hawaiian village is highly recommended. they have fireworks shows on friday nights, and have lots of animals (fun for the kids.) they have penguins, flamingos, ducks, geese and parrots, as well as a fun mini mall, waterfalls, beach and pool.

the ohana beachcomber is a cheaper hotel, they have free pastries in the morning and nice rooms, friendly service

best western is a condo/hotel, near the airport. no beach views or anything, but they have a breakfast cafe and pool and small playground. nice rooms.

stay anywhere, just stay away from the homeless......

condo would definitely be more fun
