Where is the lawn chair section in times square located for new years?|149751

My wife and I are planning on going to times square on new years eve to see the ball drop and were wondering where the lawn chair section is located and if it_s within viewing distance of the ball drop. Does anyone have a link I can go to where I can see a layout of times square and its _sections_?

The lawn chairs are located along Broadway, from 43rd Street to 49th Street. However, if you_re going to Times Square for the Ball Drop, you can forget finding them. That_s because they will be removed for the event on Dec. 31st.

Good luck

What cities in Colorado get the most snow in Dec?|149646

We are going on vacation and want to see snow...What city will we have the most luck in for the middle of December?

A great few great places to go are Vail, Beaver Creek, and Avon Colorado which are all about 90 minutes west of Denver if you take Highway 70. Boulder is a great city to visit in any weather and will most likely to have some snow around December. Colorado Springs which is south of Denver is colder than Denver and has a higher elevation so will most likely have some snow. Points of interest in Colorado Springs include Pikes Peak, Broadmore Hotel, and the Olympic Training Center. I also suggest Winter Park city and ski resort, which is only about an hour and 15 minutes due west the north west of Denver, and is a very pretty state park like setting and authentic Colorado Skiing. Enjoy Colorado Snow!!!

well, leadville will probably have at least 3 feet of snow by the end of december. however, dillon, silverthorne, breckenridge, frisco, vail, avon, edwards, keystone and fairplay will all have snow in december. the towns are all in close proximity, they kindof make a square. fairplay, leadville, avon, and breckenridge serve as the corners.

The higher, the better.

Summit County (Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper) all have nice places to stay, and guaranteed lots of snow. Down the highway in Eagle County (Vail, Beaver Creek) will also be snowy.

You could try smaller ski towns such as Telluride, Crested Butte, or Steamboat. All would be good choices- especially if you are into snow sports.

Any of the mountain towns but Steamboat Springs is one that_s known for getting lots of snow. Also, you wouldn_t necessarily find snow in Boulder unless it had snowed recently and heavily. When it does snow there, it usually melts pretty quickly.

Anywhere in the mountais will have snow for sure. Nice places to go are on a large budget are Vail and Aspen. Good places to go on an average budget could be either Glenwood Springs or Steamboat Springs. Glenwood Springs, in my opinion would be a good bet for sure.

Estes Park is a quaint little town just at the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. They have snow when some of the lower elevation towns do not. I loved it there.

The mountain towns should all have snow in December. A nice place to go is Glenwood Springs. It is within driving distance of the ski resorts and absolutely gorgeous! Good luck and have fun!

Anywhere in the mountains. The flats are pretty dry in December.

Vale is covered with snow all winter.

Wolf Creek pass gets feet upon feet of snow

go to westcliffe its a great lil town and almost always has snow i love that place

What happened to those vacation packages Sams Club sold during the holidays?|133801

They had some for Las Vegas, Disneyworld, Spas in Arizona, Local spas, etc. I looked today and didnt see them anymore...does anyone know where I can find them?

It was a special holiday deal offered from an outside vendor
They are not available anymore at SAM_S Club

There are still some good deals to be had but you have to really research


This Wednesday we booked a trip for two for 7 nights in an AI in Cozumel for less than 2K

Yesterday the same trip was $2800

Depending on where you want to go their are several great sites to check if you have the time

Edit

Sorry, cant make em come back

they are a traveling vendor and the specials they had are no longer available. they seemed like a great thing but after seriously looking into them they are not worth it. the price was low and the resorts (time share resorts) are 5 star and they said no black out days but availablility is limited. which means that if you try to book during peak seasons they will not have anything available. they only times that have been available were undesireable times and bad weather conditions. or during a time when flights are high. you may have heard they arent a time share but they are. however attending the seminars are optional. they will talk you into it when you are there. i know several people that bought them and i do work at sams and got some inside info from one of the venders i became friendly with. she actually talked me out of buying it. you are better off finding an all inclusive deal thru sandals or something. also you had to book within one year so getting a decent availability was rare.

I am planning a Las Vegas trip for 2 people in 2 states in September do you have any money saving travel tips?|130539

This will be my first time going to vegas I live in Florida and my Mom lives in Michigan. I want to surprise her in September with this trip. We will be leaving from each of our separate airports and I would like for us to arrive around the same time. I would appreciate any travel tips anyone has about deals , hotel , car rentals, must do things while there, best hotels. Thank you !

It would be much cheaper to stay off the strip, but you still may want to stay close. walk rather than take a cab or pubic transportation. I wouldn_t rent a car. because you don_t want to drive in Vegas especially near the strip and NEVER on the strip. I made the mistake and was stuck for a very long time in traffic.

Thats really good to hear. There are several websites which can give you deals. like orbitz, expedia, lastminute etc. There are some travel aggregator websites where you can find deals from all major travel deals provider at one place. I would say visit
http://www.Grab2Travel.com
it might be helpful.

Here is a site with lots of tips for first time visitors to Las Vegas.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com
There are lots of fun things to do in Las Vegas. Everything from Vegas free attractions, to casino hopping, to Shopping to Vegas tours etc...

Regarding the hotel room I recommend to book it directly with the hotel in order to be more flexible. In addition I would check current hotel special on sites like
http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com

Depending how long you are in Vegas you need to decide whether you need a car I always rent one but many people don��t and don��t think its needed have a look here at these two posts the first one is about car rental and the second about where you can for trips outside Vegas.

AS far as hotels go the most important thing to get the best price is to book direct this means no middle man and you can cancel or change you booking with no penalty up to 48 hours before check in, there are some offers below.

MGM is a lovely big hotel with the most comftable beds in Vegas, a great pool, great location and less than 10 minutes by cab from the airport. MGM launched some new offers yesterday that over up until September if you book by Visa you can have a free massage at the spa, or a free upgrade to a spa suite or a free in room breakfast form $79 per night.

Where are some low income apartments located at in Chicago?|162647

My nephew is about to enter college and he have a baby and a baby momma and he have a job that don_t pay a lot. He needs to find and apartment that he can afford!
Do you know any or a website that I can go on to find any.

Your best bet may be to use Apartment Finders. This is an amazing FREE resource in Chicago. You just tell them exactly what you_re looking to spend and then they meet with you and drive you to buildings that are safe and clean within your budget. They then even help with all of the paperwork for getting the lease.

Where are the best places to visit in Minnesota?|113550

I_m wanting to do some traveling, and I_d like to find out what residents of Minnesota like to do. I haven_t decided where exactly I_d like to go, just somewhere in Minnesota, preferably near a big town but not necessarily right in one. I_d like to know of any great restaurants (preferably non-franchise) and any great spots to visit. I don_t mind if they_re tourist attractions or just locally known hidden spots. Anything you can provide will be great! Thanks!

The north shore of Lake Superior has some rugged coastlines and beautiful vistas. A hike into the interior along the north shore gets you to Gooseberry Falls, one of the most beautiful scenic areas of the state.

Minnesota is famous for its lakes. You can visit several of them right in the heart of Minneapolis and St. Paul, with beautiful walkways and bikeways. I_m not as current on best restaurants but I believe there are several in the Nicollet Mall downtown pedestrian district of Minneapolis.

Garrison Keillor_s nationwide radio program, a Prairie Home Companion, is broadcast live each Saturday night from the Fitzgerald Theatre in downtown St. Paul. You can probably order tickets in advance. It can be a great _ unique Minnesota experience.

A lot of Minnesotan_s like to fish and hunt. They fish in the summer, and in the winter on the ice. They like to ride thier bikes, there are lots of great state trails, one is SE Minnesota, by Laneboro, that is a great one. A lot like to Ski and ice skate in the winter. They like to shop. Many like going to theater. In the winter they like to ride snowmobiles, they have a lot of designated trails thoughout the state. Or there are tons of great state parks. Duluth area is nice too, if you want to go see the north shore!

If you_re looking for a bunch of great restaurants (both franchised and not) you should check out Grand Ave. in St. Paul. You_ll find (almost) anything your palate desires.

It really depends on the type of activities you want to do. Minneapolis/ Bloomington has the Mall of America and IKEA for shopping. There are many museums/historic sites in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul areas. There are plenty of lakes and parks for outside activites all over Minnesota. Southeast Minnesota has the Mississippi River and beautiful bluff country. Some towns to visit there would be Winona, Wabasha, Kellogg, or Lanesboro.
Try www.exploreminnesota.com for things to do, places to stay, etc.

MN is a beautiful state. many lakes, parks, the southern part is more populated . here is a link to the travel bureau up there

Is a good free breakfast important to get you to stay at a hotel?|153090

I work at a little inn and the owner keeps cutting back on breakfast. He has even mentioned getting rid of it entirely. We currently serve Costco bagels (with cream cheese), costco muffins, sliced apples and oranges, grapes, OJ, Folgers coffee, and tea. Do you think this is an acceptable breakfast? Our rates range anywhere from $69 (a special during the off season on a weekday) to $250 for a nice room with a view on a weekend in the summer.

I Searched on this site and got the Cheapest Hotel,Check it out,it also had Discount Coupon Codes for Expedia,Orbitz,Travelocity,Priceline, Kayak,etc.

http://freetravel4ever.blogspot.com

The _free_ breakfast price is built into your room rate already. So, most guests are wising up and going to hotels that offer breakfast as an option, like in a restaurant or room service. Also some guests have become more germaphobic this year, with H1N1 floating around. Eating off a free buffet breakfast seems dangerous to some. With all of the dietary restrictions there are out there, the definition of _good_ will vary greatly between guests. Best to have options, but drop the breakfast if there are local restaurants around, and drop your prices accordingly. Everyone is trying to save a buck.

It sounds OK. I think it could use some hot options, like at the very least bread for toast, or packets of oatmeal.

I think breakfast is one of many important services for a hotel to offer. If someone is staying at a hotel, they may not be familiar with restaurants in the area, and even then breakfast or brunch places tend to have slow service. Busy tourists or business travelers may not have time to go out for breakfast. A continental breakfast is the least a hotel can offer - I would expect no breakfast only at the very cheapest motels.

There might be other ways to save money on breakfast. For instance, buying fruits that are in season - in the spring and summer, apples and grapes are imported from Chile and can be a lot more expensive.

It_s not something that is a requirement when I stay at a Hotel or whatever, but it_s definitly nice. If it_s one place over another though, the one with free breakfast will usually be my choice. You should maybe suggest breakfast just on weekends or something, and not everyday. Then you could get an idea of what to expect if you were to eliminate it or not.

PS that is a decent breakfast. I wouldn_t complain

No it is not important,I have found that most of the bagles,muffins,or donuts are usually stale,and I don_t eat fruit.So I just get a cup of coffee and go on down the road to a Cracker barrel for a full breakfast.

The last thing I want in the morning is the crap that most hotels put out and call breakfast. If I am on vacation, I want to be able to order what I want, not what someone is willing to put out for free.
