How warm is the water in Florida?|114379

I_m specifically thinking about Miami and South Beach, Florida. I heard that it is quite warm, especially during the summer. But is it warm during the winter months?

Ideally, I_d like to know the water temp on the beach by month, but a high and low over the year is also good.

  • The surf temperature goes down into the 60s, during the winter but it feels warm compared to the air temperature.
    Feels like bath water in the summer.

    Surf temperature averages 74 degrees.

  • You might be able to find the answers to your questions at www.wunderground.com, I live in Florida and it helped me plan my outdoor wedding 2 yrs ago. PS It starts to really get chilly here in January.

  • Oh! It is warm in Miami, and the water is warm in the winter months. You are coming for a visit? By all means, enjoy yourselves. The water is great, and the weather is fine!

    They keep it that way in the tourist areas. If you don_t speak Spanish, don_t even consider moving here! South Florida, is the northern post of the Caribbean Islands. Haiti, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

    You have been enlightened. Enjoy your vacation!

    How does Google Maps, Mapquest and/or Bing determine a start or end point when you only indicate a city/town?|161273

    Speculate if you like but please provide a link to back up your reply if you are sure of the answer.

  • no link ... but the have maps loaded into a data base from last 5 years . it traces the main roads from your start to stop as they see the side roads change

  • they start from the center of the town, it might be like 5 minutes from your house.

  • Uhmm theyy would start from the center of the town __ End at the center of the next town ...

  • Where is the cheapest place to live in Utah?|160206

    My fiance and I are tight on money at the moment, but we really need to move into Utah. We_re only looking for a one bedroom apartment, as it_s only a temporary situation. Where is the cheapest place to be? Any specific quotes?

  • Well, I just moved from Salt Lake City a few months back and I was paying $620 for a nice one-bedroom by the University of Utah. You can find cheaper apartments if you don_t want to live in a very nice area, though. But, Salt Lake does have some good deals.

  • The closer to SLC the more rent will be.

    Logan and Brigham have some great deals on rentals.

    My in-laws rent a 2 bed apartment in Brigham for $425 a month.

    In Logan you can find places small places for $350.
    Try KSL.com and Craigslist.com to see what is on the market in different parts of the State.

    Good luck. Utah is a beautiful place.

    How easy is it to get from Anaheim into LA?|111298

    I am planning a honeymoon to America next year. We are planning to spend a couple of days in Anaheim ( We have never been to Disneyland) we would also like to spend one day in LA - visiting a couple of the usual touristy things. I have been told that we would have to hire a car to get from Anaheim to LA but neither my fiance or I are keen on the idea of driving in another country with different road rules etc We have also been told taxis can be pretty expensive. Would it be possible to use public transport or should we give up on the idea and spend the extra time with Mickey?

  • well from Anaheim you do have a couple of choices
    there is a direct bus from Anaheim to downtown Los Angeles
    the cost would be $2.25 for the trip or you could get a day pass
    for $5.00 +1.00 for freeway zone charges)
    the day pass would be good all day including the subway if you wanted to go Hollywood or Universal studios
    another alternative is to use Metrolink from the Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak station to Union station (hold on to your metrolink ticket as it acts a like pass on connecting transit
    (including the subway to Hollywood or Gold line to Pasadena

  • Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I_m sure you will enjoy your honeymoon in Anaheim.

    There are several ways to get to the _touristy_ areas of Los Angeles from Anaheim. It_s only about 30 Km. or so. There is the city bus system, a commuter train, and commercial guided tour companies that might meet your needs. I know you said you didn_t want to rent/hire a car, but that would be the most convenient means of travel. Traffic laws are fairly common world wide, and the traffic really isn_t that unbearable (or maybe I_m just used to it). Welcome to the United States and enjoy your stay.

    When it gets closer to your _special_ day post this question again, and we can give you more specific ideas.

  • its only 30 minutes drive, but I suggest you stay in orange county, more to see and do, and less crime. If you want to go to LA then take the train, and use the metro, very efficient, cheap, and fast.

  • 1. take shuttle to lax from disneyland.
    2. take private shuttle ($70 approx).
    3. not sure about trains, but try amtrak from anaheim to union station.
  • Where is a good place to meet nice people in Los Angeles on a weeknight?|124591

    I_m a bit of a socially anxious guy in my late 20s. I just want to meet some nice people who aren_t stuck up and judgemental. I prefer to go out on weeknights and not on weekends because I am intimidated by large groups of people.

  • If you think you might be interested in a support group this one is held on a Wednesday night. I_ve heard it_s a pretty good group that also does some social activities together. I thought of going but it_s too far from where I live, etc.

  • Wheres the coolest place to be for Halloween in the United States?|134224

    I want to take a trip towards the end of October to some state that really knows how to celebrate Halloween. What I dont want is Halloween in Hawaii, or Halloween in Arizona. I want some place that captures the essence of autumn, pumpkin carving contests, street masquerades, themed food and drink, those fun houses where people jump out at you.


    Some place where the leaves are beautiful and the culture is inviting, fun, and classically cool.

    Got any ideas?

  • Salem, Mass. Maybe they have a witch_s convention. Or Eerie, Indiana. Maybe Hell, Michigan is having devil of a time.

  • Ybor city, just outside of Tampa, the best
