What is the best hotel by Universal Studious in California?|110517

I want to know a hotel where it is cheap meaning under 80 dollars and I want it by universal studios. Thanks.

Above they stated the only 2 hotels next to or near Universal.....they are much more expensive than $80. You will have to go much further away at that price....Sorry....

the best hotels at the Universal Studios/City area are the Hilton and Sheraton, I_ve stayed at both but they_re nowhere near $80 a night

you_re best bet would be to stay at a smaller motel on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood, there_s many of them between Camarillo and Victory Streets, but you get what you paid for and $80 in LA won_t get you any luxury

theres a best western in universal city
its not that bad of a walk to universal studios
i see tourists walking from there when i drive buy
and you could also take a cab to the theme park
probably under 80 bucks, but i dont know, its definately cheaper than the hilton or shereton

The best one would be either the Hilton or the Sheraton, both of which are on the property at Universal and have free shuttles to and from Universal main gate and City Walk.

Good luck finding a room for under $80 anywhere near Universal.

:D

The Beverly Garland is really nice. The Coast Anabelle is good too. .But honestly, anything you find even tolerably close for $80 a night will be in the really bad part of North Hollywood.

I_ve stayed at the Hilton Universal twice, but it_s not 80 dollars, it_s about 170 a night I think.

80 dollars isn_t a big budget.

Check out the Beverly Garland along with the above mentioned hotels. Eighty dollars may be unrealistic.

hi,
this can help u find nice hotel deals .check _hotels combined_

At what time do the turtles come out on Laniakea Beach to bask in the sun?|110598

I am trying to plan an intinerary but I want to be at Laniakea when the turtles come out and I do not want to be there too early or to miss them completely. So how soon could I expect to see turtles on the beach?

Your best bet is to go early morning or late evening. Also note that the best place to see them is on one the Mokulua islands, which are 2 small sub islands just off the coast of the Lanikai beach. I am a local and I swim out to these islands whenever I visit (one of my favorite beaches by the way). I would recommend that you follow the instructions from the this link
http://www.sharinghawaii.com/attractions��
as swimming to them is not the recommended. You can also find maps and driving directions etc from the above link.

I can_t find anywhere that says a specific time they come out, just _during daylight hours_ but, since they are reptiles, they need the heat to start their day and to digest their food so I would say the best time would be in the morning and then around 12p - 2p.

Here are some tips on how to watch the turtles safely:

I absolutely LOVE turtles! I may have to visit this place too, lol. Check out the Laniakea website. Give my aloha to those wonderful creatures.
I love the turtle couple on the Comcast tv commercials, too cute!

What is the best mountain to snowboard at in colorado?|191492

im going to colorado at the end of march, and i want to know which mountain i should go to.

It depends on what you like to do when snowboarding (terrain park, cruising on groomers, extreme terrain, etc.) Breckenridge is fun and less expensive than Vail or Aspen. Steamboat is also great, lots of different terrain and fun at night. Crested Butte and Telluride have sick terrain, but if you_re not truly and expert then you could be happy at any of the the other mountains. Winter Park is fun but I think the terrain there can be a little boring. So I guess I_m recommending Steamboat or Breck! The good thing about Breckenridge is you are in Summit County and therefore close to other mountains like Keystone, Copper, Loveland (which is never very crowded), and Vail in case you want to mix it up.

Really any of them, its Colorado, but a buddy of mine goes out to Breckenridge and has a blast. Theres been a few ski/snowboard videos shot there, so he must be on to something.

What are some good haunted house places in Orlando for Halloween?|102882

Our anniversary is Halloween and usually we either eat out in town or go to Bush Gardens for their halloween thing. This year we want to make it a 4 day event where we would go to the one at Bush Gardens first night and then head over to Orlando for the 2nd night to go to Universal Studios_ halloween thing (maybe catch some horror flicks before hand). But the last time I looked, I remember there was some haunted houses there that were regular attractions (not some one put together by JCs or a school or something) that you could go to. If anybody knows of any or can recommend some good ones or unique ones (like a cornfield one that was in a place I lived once) that would be great.

In downtown Kissimmee they offer ghost tours nightly at BH Extreme Ghost Hunting Tours. Must make reservation at least 5 days in advance. Check in time for tours is 8:15 pm and tour lasts until 10:30 pm. From their website: Tours include: transportation in an air-conditioned H1 Limo, Certified Ghost Hunter , use of an EMF meter, photo opportunities and a terrific guide! Armed with meters that measure electromagnetic fluctuations, Ghost Hunters (that_s YOU) discover the existence of ghosts at historic and haunted sites. At the end, you_ll have learned enough to photograph spirit images, recognize manifestations, hear mysterious stories and delve into the world of spirits. Not to mention learning some great history! And join us for a grave yard hunt, as we explore the unknown, reveal the art and traditions of ghost hunting, and stories of those still lurking amongst the shadows. A superb evening of history, ghost hunting, tradition and mystery.
If you check out the website and click on Haunted Kissimmee, it will list the stops on the tour. Highly recommended you bring a camera.


There_s also the Haunted Grimm House of Old Town located on Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy. (hwy 192) down by I-4 which is a year round haunted house attraction.

I went on this tour and it was very rushed, the guide was rude, and when my mother was hurt, he could care less and would not help us at all. This tour is a joke to any real _Ghost_ fan.

I would not reccomend this tour to anyone! look for another!

Hi I am Steve the owner I have looked back to see if we have your name on file we do not this means you are with the other tour comp. trying to make us look bad .Nice try. Who was your guide E-Mail me

Hey you named the top two already, as far as outside ones like cornfields, I wouldnt advise due to death from snakes and all the other crap here, Take a look into St. Augustine. They have ghost tours that go through the city and tell all the scary stories, My g/f and I have been on it and It was cool plus the city is wonderful.

How do I pass time on a 21 hour bus ride?|137611

My bestfriend and I would like to go to florida for spring break (broke college students) and I thought riding Grey Hound would be cheaper (which it was) but the bus ride would take 21 hours at the least. How can we pass time?

talk to your friend, listen to music, count cars by color, bring something to read, play a game, ask the tour guide irrelevant questions, take photos, sleep, poke the people who fell asleep with a long stick, talk with other passengers, make plans for the places you will visit, introspect, try to see how long you can stare at other passengers before they are notisably uncomfortable, call people or txt them, (if you can) log in to messenger or facebook, search for things on mystergoogle.com (and if you get a mission, go with it), record yourself talking and compare it to the way you hear your voice, prank calls, make up a _historical fact_ or strange memory about the place you_re at and share it with someone else in a serious tone (if the person catches you blame it on the information on wikipedia), or try answering questions on yahoo answers

Well at least you will have a friend with you and not be alone.
Take things like a DS system or iPod touch so you can play some games and listen to music, some embroidery floss to make friendship bracelets(even if you just end up giving or throwing them away later... it_s cheap entertainment and will keep you busy a few hours), maybe a few magazines. And I_d also suggest arranging your schedule before the long ride so that you are tired and can sleep a good amount of the trip.

Going with a best friend is definitely always better than going alone.

Heck, talking to each other would be fine too, just as long as you two have something to talk about. I suggest for you two to bring a set of cards to. There_s plenty of card games you two can play while on the bus. Maybe bring chess, checkers, etc. Although sitting side by side may be a bit hard, but you can always turn your bodies a bit to face each other.

If you two have phones, text other friends or call to converse with them too. Maybe bring some sort of game system so you can pass time.

OK`_ just for the purpose of having something to do on your ride !?! Here_s just ONE idea that me _ a few friends used to do while on the school bus to _ from school later after school on the way home !!!... Mention a favorite make of car !! As for me: I always or mostly picked the corvette !!! Now the idea was to spot as many of that kind of car we_d see on the streets _ or the high-way!?! _ ofcourse it was indicated by screaming out... _That_s my corvette_ !! lol. _ at times it be others that would want to join in !! So at times we could only shout out/claim a corvette only if it_s our favorite color !!!

Well if you don_t get car sick, you can read or play DS (if you like those). But if you want to do something together or you do get carsick, you can always share headphones and listen to music, or talk...and talk...and talk some more. My family always passes the time by playing those games almost every family has, like the ABC game or twenty questions or _I Spy_. If I was in college, I would definitely play the ABC game. lol

Play car games, read a book or magazine, play I spy, try to find a licence plate for each state as you drive, play punch buggy- each time you see a volzwagon beatle you say punch buggy, do cross word puzzles, word searches, do suduku, lots of stuff you can do. You can sleep, talk to each other, eat snacks, etc. Have fun.

i live in florida and we once took a trip to south carolina in a bus. now i know its alot shorter drive but still we played gameboys or whatver and listened to ipods , heck even a little reading. what i suggest most though is either a good game or book, something that will keep u interested the whole time. or you could just not sleep the night before and then sleep on the bus, we did that too

I_m going to haft to go with an iPod touch you can get on the internet (that is if the bus has free wifi) also you can put trait games on it listen to
music and watch movie tv shows and music videos. Hope this helps have fun on the trip.

I went to Florida with the High School Band this summer. It was a 24 hour bus ride to and from Florida. I listened to my Ipod and wrote a few chapters of my novel on the way down there. Writing and drawing helps to pass the time. If you_re really bored, take a nap.

Sleep, bring snacks, a portable gaming system, like PSP or DS, a music player is a must for me, cellphone, notepad and pen (doodle, play games like tic-tac-toe with your friend, etc.) make sure to charge everything.

Bring an iPod, itouch would be the best. Listening to music always helps pass time and if that dosent work you can always play a game or watch a movie.

Electronics is your answer. Ipod, entertaining phone, laptop. I dont recommend it but if you have school work you could easily finish it up. If you have no one sitting next to u stretch on the seat and take a nap

play the notebook game where you make a circle and keep adding things on to it to make a silly faces its a kinda a dumb game but its fun and passes time

Nintendo DS or a book.

hey get a PSP or get a portable dvd player

talk

lots of drugs and alcohol, LOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What part of the gulf are best to go to in FL for crystal clear water?|110194

for crystal clear water....and what time of year is best to go? spring,and fall? because i usually go on vac. around the 4th of july to florida. But i want to arrive whenever there arent many storms and the water is clear.

Try Clearwater beach:-)

I think the water is best in the spring or atlest it seems like that to me.

Anna Maria island and Longboat key have some nice clear water, hopefully you don_t go when there is red tide.

Appalachacola

Destin, Florida is beautiful. When you step into the ocean, you can literally see your feet or anywhere in the Flroida Keys. Happy travelling!
