Are there hotels in Los Angeles that do not have the 21 yr old age requirement?|181868

I_ll be 18 soon and i was planning a trip. I would like to stay at the Renaissance Montura Hotel in Los Angeles, but I could not find the age requirement there anywhere.

It_s unlikely that they would allow anyone under 21, especially around New Years Eve.

If you are traveling to the area (more than 150 miles from home) sometimes they will make an exception if you can prove that you_re not local with your drivers license. Basically, they want to keep _locals_ out because that is generally just a party.

You would need to call a few hotels and talk to the front desk manager and get confirmation before you book the reservation.

18 is the legal age in California to sign a contract, so you shouldn_t have a problem! Why don_t you call them first?

What are some good vacation spots in the midwest?|191606

my mom wants to go on vacation this spring and she wants to stay in the midwest reigon.

do you know any good cities to go to where we will have lots to do?

if so can you list them and list the things that the city has to offer?

Well, the crown jewel of the midwest is Chicago - lots to do there, including plays, blues and jazz, great parks, terrific museums, wonderful food...

If not Chicago, then you might consider Milwaukee, which is a very underrated city; Minneapolis/St. Paul; and St. Louis.

How much does it cost to rent a golf cart for a week at Myrtle Beach?|104853

I just want a rough estimate but the only site I found had bad reviews and a number to call to ask for rates.

It seems easier to ask you guys. Thanks

Hi John,
It varies widely depending on season of year and course. It will range from $120 for 7 days to almost $500 for the same period. The summer at Myrtle Beach is the off season with the lowest rates.
There are many, many nice courses to choose from at Myrtle!!

What are the best hotels or areas to stay if visiting the Taste of Chicago?|194463

I will be going there for the first time, and need to know a good all around location, but reasonably priced.

Try the Hyatt on Wacker Dr....it is usually less expensive than other hotels in the downtown area. The Sheraton Hotel and Towers on Michigan Ave is also a nice hotel and an easy walk to the Taste of Chicago. Also the Palmer House Hilton and Hard Rock Hotel are close but usually more expensive. you can seach on hotels.com and anyother travel website. Just look for hotels near Millenium and Grant Park. If you find a cheap one elsewhere you can always walk, taxi, or take a bus/train. www.transitchicago.com will help with the bus and train maps for public transportation downtown. Enjoy the Taste!

check out www.hotels.com for cheap hotel prices as well as Orbitz (www.orbitz.com). You_ll want to select near Grant Park as thats where Taste is held.

If the cost is holding you back you might want to consider staying at the International Hostel which is on Wabash and Congress Parkway. Its not far from where Taste of Chicago is and you can stay there for about $35 a night.

Enjoy Taste of Chicago and downtown Chicago in general!!

hi i went to taste of chicago last year and am going this year it is so much fun when i went last year i stayed at the palmer house hilton it is so big and great and so many cool shops inside and the ceiling is like the sistine chapel and as i can remember it was like $85 a night so a good deal have a good time!

Transportation from NYC to Six flags adventure park New Jersey?|102110

Hi,

We are going to NYC in October and are planning on going to Six Flags but do not want to hire a car, is there a bus service to Six Flags and back?

If so where do we go to get it, how much, and what number etc?

Thanks

NJ Transit Bus 308 from Port Authority Bus Terminal (42nd St_Times Sq), Gate 324.

Runs once a day to Six Flags, at 9:30am, 7 days a week. 3 times a day back.

Travel time: 2hrs

Cost: $50, Including admission to Six Flags.

You can take a bus from the Port Authority. If you google them, they have a bus service schedule online that tells you when the bus departs. I believe it goes to 6flags on Saturdays and Sundays (although it might go during the week as well). The cost includes the bus ride and the entrance fee.

I may wind up moving to Denver. How long dose it take to acclimate to the mile high altitude.?|175155

I am originally from Dallas, Texas and never lived or visited a high altitude city.

I used to live in Dallas - the altitude won_t be your biggest factor. That will take no time. It will be the lack of humidity that will take a LOT of getting used to.

Now I hated the humidity in Dallas, so I love how dry it is here. But your skin/nose/hair will need quite a while to adjust.

It varies. I moved here from the UK and have never once been affected by the altitude. However, my partner moved here from California a few months ago and he stills finds climbing lots of stairs leaves him a bit breathless and he can_t run as far/exercise for as long as he did (and he_s pretty fit). You_ll just have to come here and see - just take it easy and don_t go rushing into anything too strenuous for a few weeks. Oh yes, and drink lots of water!

4 or five days. Just don_t do a lot of running around.It_s not a big adjustment. Drink plenty of water, even if you_re not thirsty.
It_s very dry here. Also easy on the booze , you can catch a buzz real quick because of the altitude.

What transportation should i use to get from San Francisco to the University of California Santa Barbara?|179080

I want to be able to easily get from the station/airport, to the campus. I will have a big luggage and items from home to move into a Residential Hall. Anyone have options and directions?

Look for a ride share.
The campus may have a posting for this or check on criagslist.
If nothing else rent a truck for a one way trip.
But your best bet is to find others in your area who also will be traveling down for school. In this way you may establish rides at shared cost for the holidays as well.

Directions are quite simple. Take 101 south for about 320 miles give or take. Honestly if you have a lot stuff for college, I would seriously recommend renting a car and driving. It takes approximately 5 hours to drive. As others have mentioned, SB is not very close to SF. Your better bet flying is either Los Angeles or Santa BArbara or San Luis Obispo. Those airports are all within approximately 90 - 100 miles of SB.

If you want public transit, your best bet would be to take bart to Emeryville and pick up Amtrak there. Or take bart to Millbrae and then pick up the caltrain down to San Jose, and transfer to amtrak there.

I_d recommend taking Amtrak! the Coast Starlight offers daily direct rail service between the Bay Area and Santa Barbara. The ride is nice _ the cost reasonable! Other departure time options are also possible but combine Amtrak rail with a thruway bus connection for a portion of the trip. Good Luck!

Los Angeles {LAX} is much closer to Santa Barbara than San Francisco [SFO} Otherwise I would take Amtrack..Probably Bart to Oakland or Emeryville train stations then straight down to Santa Barbara..you could also take Amtrack from los Angeles to Santa Barbara.

Jetpacks and hanggliders are nice because you can skip traffic.

Santa Barbara is a long way from San Francisco.

You might want to find a closer airport - perhaps Los Angeles.
