What are some memorable things to do in the Kentucky area?|113127

My husband ships to basic in October, and I want him to have a lot of good memories of Kentucky (where we met/currently living).

We_ve already planned the louisville zoo, mammoth cave touring weekend, Holiday World, and Speed Art Museum.

Now we_re wanting to know some more ideas of things to do that we haven_t thought of yet... Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

mammoth cave
kentucky kingdom (six flags park)
bourbon trail! _fun thing to visit all the distilleries in the region!
louisville zoo, or a weekend night trip to 2nd and jefferson, same difference.
the corvette factory tour in bowling green
newport aquarium - but the Ripley_s Aquarium in Gatlinburg is much better.

he will get his fill of this, but I enjoy the Patton Museam in Radcliff/Ft Knox

There are alot of historical sites in Lexington. Mammoth cave, there are alot of wineries

Farmington, built in 1815-1816, is a house designed by Thomas Jefferson for the Speed family. Joshua Speed was a close friend of Abraham Lincoln_s. Abraham Lincoln visited Farmington in 1841 and made Joshua Speed_s older brother James his Attorney General in 1864.

Locust Grove was the last home of General George Rogers Clark. George Rogers Clark was the founder of Louisville, a Revolutionary war hero, and the older brother of William Clark of the Lewis _ Clark pair who explored the western United States.

The Frazier International History Museum features a collection of the British Royal Armouries, the first time a UK National Museum has opened a ��branch�� in the USA.

The Rauch Planetarium and Gheens Science Hall, located on the Belknap Campus of the University of Louisville, has several interesting shows. The planetarium is now featuring a new show _The Planets_ which provides an in-depth look at each planet and uses current images from NASA missions with viewers feeling they are traveling through space as each planet is explored.

The Steamboat the Belle Of Louisville has cruises on the Ohio River. No other river steamboat in American history has lasted as long, been to as many places, or traveled as many miles as the Belle of Louisville. It can feel as if you are taking a step back in time.

The Louisville Slugger museum shows the history of the Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat, made since 1884. A current exhibit highlights baseballs signed by US Presidents. There is also the local Baseball Team of the Louisville Bats who play in Louisville Slugger Field on the Ohio River near downtown.

The Kentucky Derby Museum gives you a first hand look at the _greatest two minutes in sports,_ an event for which Louisville and Kentucky are known worldwide. The Greatest Race, a multi-image show on a 360 degree screen in the shape of a track, gives an overview of the life of a Derby horse from foal to winner_s circle on Derby Day.

Fort Knox, home to the United States Bullion Depository, also has The General George Patton Museum. The Museum is administered by the U.S. Army Armor Center, Fort Knox, and is one of the largest in the U.S. Army Museum System. Unfortunately, you can_t get too close to the building holding the gold and they do not let you take samples home.

The birthplace of Abraham Lincoln is in Hodgenville and features 116 acres of Thomas Lincoln_s Sinking Spring Farm. An early 19th century Kentucky cabin (which is not actually Lincoln_s boyhood home) is enshrined inside the Memorial Building at the site of his birth. The site also includes the Sinking Spring, site of the Boundary Oak tree and other reminders of the Nation_s 16th President_s beginnings.

How long does shipping take from Singapore to CA?|106016

She used a delivery confirmation and it shows that it left Singapore, but still nothing with USPS. She shipped it out October 15th. Do you think I will ever receive the item?

It depends on how the item was shipped. If it went by ship then it could take up to 8-10 weeks to arrive; by plane about 2-3 weeks.

It also depends on if it was held up by customs on either or both ends.

whats a singapore?

Where to go with a dog in the Grand Canyon?|145556

Want to travel with a dog and physically impaired child to the grand canyon. We want to drive it and see as much as possible, not hike it! Any ideas, we are coming from Florida and are heading to LA, planning 2 or 3 days for the GC.

I suggest www.nps.gov/grca. They will have all the info about the national park for you. Also check out www.grandcanyon.com.

Hope it helps.

get a handicapped pass at the entrance..you can drive where the buses go behind all the gates (they give you the code). dogs can go anywhere on the paths. With a service dog vest/collar the dog can go anywhere inside too.
Make sure you have your medical conditions to present at the gate, you will drive anywhere you want to and see everything you want to see too.
Ask for the handic\apped access guide and ask for a free access card for handicapped good in any federal park.

What should i wear to Disney World in december?|153392

Well, my family has decided that we would be going to Disney World this decemeber and i have NO CLUE what to wear! Should i wear long sleeve shirts? Shorts? Jeans? Hoddies? Tank tops? Please tell me because i am freaking out. Please reply quickly!

well the average high temp in dec is 72 but the temps can range from the low 60_s to the low 80_s so you will want to bring a couple pairs of shorts, a couple pairs of capris, and a couple pairs of jeans.
for tops mainly bring t-shirts and bring a light jacket or hoodie cuz the over night lows get down to about 51 so you will want a jacket or hoodie for early in the morning and later at night.
also be sure to bring your bathing suit and definitely wear SNEAKERS!

I would bring a nice variety of things. Pack t-shirts and shorts more for the daytime, but have jeans and long sleeve shirts at nights because that_s when it gets colder. I_d bring a hoodie or two but that_s it because you can wear the same hoodie more then once. Unless it_s predicted to be in the 80_s or 90_s I wouldn_t bring any tank tops.

Your best bet is to check the weather and look at what it_s predicted to be while your there and pack based on that.

I_m from Florida, and while the days may be a nice 72 and comfy during the day, the nights can get chilly, very quickly.

I would suggest a short sleeved shirt, some jeans and a warm jacket.


But definitely pack a little bit of everything.
I went to the beach for New Years Eve one year and wore a mini skirt and a tank top and was still hot, so what does that tell you about Florida?!
You_ve just got to be prepared for all kinds of weather here in Florida.


Also, I don_t recommend flip flops for a day at Disney. It_s rough on your feet, and honestly, sneakers are your best bet. Then you won_t have to worry about your shoes falling off on any of the rides either.

Bring a little bit of everything, the days can be shorts and shirts but nights most likely jeans and hoodies. Right now its cold here (for floridians) and jeans and hoodies would be needed.

It depends on the weather.
If it_s hot, shorts and t-shirts
If it_s cold Long sleveed tops/Hoodies jeans
Just be comfy

I would recommend wearing a t-shirt, pants and bring a long sleeve shirt with you just in case if it_s cool outside

dec can be tricky==bring short/jeans/ light jacket/short sleeves and comfy sneaks

How hard is it to get into Ghostbar in Las Vegas on a Monday night?|140315

My wife and I want to go to Ghostbar on a Monday night. I see on their website that I could sign up to be put on a guestlist and enter without a cover. We don_t want a table or bottle service. How long would we expect to wait in line? When is a good time to arrive to increase our chances of getting in?

Monday night is probably the dead-est night of the week for any bar and club. That being said..getting in should be extremely easy with little to no wait. If there is a wait, it_s an artificial line being created to make the bar seem more busy. Good time to arrive..when doors open. maybe shortly after. Since it_s a monday I wouldn_t worry too much..and would just show up whenever..of course within reason.

Here_s a good review on the club from jackcolton.com:

Have Fun!

Monday nights aren_t busy at all. You should be able to get in with no problem.

I_m not sure whats cracking at the G Bar on mon night. But general rule wit the clubs is get there before 10pm. You want to have an awesome night on a mon? Hit Jet in the Mirage it is banging on Monday.

It will be easy because you will be the only ones there.

I would check with the club before you go. Sometimes the ultra clubs are closed on slow nights to meet with the IRS and their legal team to find a way around the charges of stiff arming witless tourists that pay big bucks to door men to go to tiny clubs that serve tiny, high priced drinks

Anybody know who offers the 3 hour catamaran trip to the Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale or Miami?|119972

Not interested in snorkeling, fishing. Looking for the fast boat to the Bahamas or Bimini where we could stay 1 or 2 nights and come back.

Have you checked with Discovery Cruiselines?

How much time do I need to plan for a Mardi Gras Parade in New Orleans?|189755

I am going this weekend, and there is a parade at 6:30. We have dinner reservations at 7:30, so I am wondering if we will be able to see any of it.

It would probably be difficult to do both...even if you catch the parade in the beginning of the route. Parades almost always do not start on time or a float breaks down, etc. holding up the parade. Also there will be a ton of street closures in the city. I would skip dinner reservations...just join the bandwagon and get some popeyes for the parade route while you wait.

No you will not be able to do both. Anyone who has ever been to a parade can answer this question. Due to the large crowds at Mardi Gras unless your dinner reservations are on the parade route you will not be able to make them if you go to the parade because traffic is stopped for a parade so there will be no getting out to get to your reservations. Also even if the parade begins on time you would have to be at the very beginning of the parade in order to see any of it before going to dinner but you may get to see a band and maybe the kings float before you have to leave for your reservations but you will still probably be late due to traffic. So no you cannot do both unless the parade and dinner are on the same street.

There isn_t a short answer to your question, unless it_s _no_. You also don_t provide enough information. Please revise your question with additional info, or just write to one of us on the New Orleans section that regularly answers questions.

Overview:

All of the parades have set starting points (formation area) and ending points (disbanding area). The route between the two points is usually about 5 miles and the parade moves at a walking pace, so it takes 2 to 3 hours for the parade to finish. Where you are on the route determines when the end of the parade will pass wherever you are. Note that the parades do not all start at the same time, and it_s common for one parade to follow another on the same route.

Most of the parades take about an hour to pass a given point and the larger parades take longer. The super parades (esp. Endymion _ Bacchus) are so long the _tail_ of the parade can still be in the formation area when the _head_ of the parade reaches the disbanding area.
