How long is a flight from DC to Kentucky?|137126

And what is the nearest airport to Johnsonville county? What is there to see in that part of Kentucky? How is that area?

  • There is no Johnsonville County in Kentucky... Do you mean Johnson County?

    If so, you_ll probably have to fly into Lexington Airport (LEX), and drive two hours to Johnson County. If you can get a direct flight, it_s only about 1.5 hours from DC to Lexington.

    What Hiltons or Hilton properties have the best outdoor pools?|132796

    I am looking for an awesome outdoor pool. It needs to be at a Hilton hotel, or at least a Hilton property (I_m a Hilton Diamond member). I live in Fort Wayne, IN, and am willing to drive 4 or 5 hours to get there if need be (but closer would be nice). I would like a rooftop pool, but I really don_t know if there are any around the mid-west. Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Hilton in Sandestin, Florida
  • How to get from Atlantic Beach to Nassau University Medical Center by Train?|108746

    I am moving to Atlantic Beach, NY and need to catch public transportation to Nassau Medical Center which is in East Meadow, NY.

  • My friend, there are two ways to from Atlantic Beach to the NUMC.

    Option 1

    Step 1: take the N33 bus eastbound to the Far Rockaway LIRR station.

    Step 2: at the Far Rockway LIRR station, purchase a round trip LIRR rail ticket and take the Rockaway Branch from Far Rockaway to Jamaica Station.

    Step 3: at Jamiaca Station, transfer to either the Port Jefferson or Ronkonkoma Branch train. Take either train from Jamaica Station to Hicksville.

    Step 4: at Hicksville station, transfer to the N48 bus. Take the bus, that_s going to Heampstead, from the Hicksville train station to the hospital.

    Option 2

    Step 1: take the N33 bus eastbound to the Far Rockaway LIRR station.

    Step 2: at the Far Rockway LIRR station, purchase a round trip LIRR rail ticket and take the Rockaway Branch from Far Rockaway to Valley Stream.

    Step 3: at Valley Stream, transfer to the West Heampstead Branch. Tahe the West Heampstead-bound train to the end of the line, West Hempstead.

    Step 4: at West Heampstead train station, transfer to either the N6 or N15 buses. Take either bus from the train to the Heampstead Transit Center.

    Step 5: at the Heampstead Transit Center, transfer to the N48 bus. Take the N48 from the Transit Center to NUMC.

    The fare on the LIRR varies by zone. The fare on the LI Bus, however, is the same as on the New York City Transit system. Two dollar each way. If you_re going to be traveling everyday, you can purchase a 7-day or 14-day unlimited ride MetroCard. The 7-day pass cost $25, while the 14-day cost $47.

    I hope this information is very helpful.

    Good luck

  • It_s all buses all the way
    Depending upon where you are in AB [like right on the LB /AB border ]you can either take the Long Beach West Loop bus to the LIRR Station and then
    take the N-15 to Hempstead and connect to
    either the N-70-71-72 to out to the hospital
    or if you_re you can take
    the N-33 to the LIRR Long Beach Station and connect to the N-15 As above
    Another option would be[ especially if you_re close to the AB Bridge] would be to take the N-33 to Far Rockaway and the find the N-31/32 to Hempstead _ then as above

  • What is the temperature in Arizona the first 2 weeks in December?|157836

    December 1st to the 8th I will be in Sedona and then the 8th to the 15th I will be in Scottsdale.

  • Hard to say, it varies every year. Today is a little cold and rainy in Phoenix (cold for us anyway). Could be chilly in December, could be warmer. It will definitely be nippy enough at night to bring a moderate jacket and pants. Sedona may even have some snow (fingers crossed).

  • 75-80ish

  • It fluctuates

  • hard to say every year is different it is still 80 degrees

    What are some fun things to do and see in Big Sur Ca?|104417

    Im planning on a camping trip and need some ideas. We are planning on going to Carmel, any other sights, fun things to do?

  • Go see the waterfall in one of the parks, stop by a Nepentha restaurante and enjoy the view and a cup of capuchino ;)
    Go to Monterey, just enjoy the town (I love it!) Visit the Aquarium - you_ll have fun!

  • It_s Nepenthe, not Nepentha





  • The most exciting thing in the Big Sur is watching the grass grow.

  • Big Sur has some wonderful art galleries. Also, a quick drive south on Pacific Coast Highway will get to you to San Simeon where Hurst Castle is located. It is a MUST SEE ! ! !
  • What are some pretty areas in Philadelphia to move to?|143957

    I am looking for an area in Philly that is pretty, well kept, lots of greenery, hip, and has educated professionals. I was looking into Fitler Square, but I don_t know much about that or any of the other areas. Any suggestions?

  • I live in Manayunk and I really like it. There_s not a lot of trash there. The Northeast near Bustleton has some nice areas too.

  • Don_t listen to the previous posters. Check out the following areas:

    Northern Liberties
    Society Hill
    Fairmount
    Fishtown
    Queens Village
    Bella Vista
    Passyunk Square
    East Falls


    It really depends how much you cana afford too, but those are the hip areas in the city. If you_re under 25, Manayunk is cool, a big bar scene but can be a bit post-collegiate/fratboy. And in the suburbs Conshohocken is cool, with a decent bar/resturant scene. Check out craigslist for places to rent.

  • the problem with philly is the same problem with every old northeastern city...the relatively safe neighborhoods are usual the high income neighbor hoods..Forget anything within 1/2 mile of cityhall as far as living, Im going to assume that u want a home to live in and that area is over priced...hows 700 square feet for $100,000 sound?..Fitler square is nice but expect to pay $350,000 for a row house story 18/45..and just 1/4 of mile from their is drug riddle neighborhoods and the parking is horrible..Your best bet is West Mt Airy, Far Northeast philly, Packard Park, Chestnut Hill, Andorra/Roxborough/manyunk areas. Good luck.

  • East Falls... You are on the edge of Manyunk, so there are the trendy bars and everything. You are minutes from the Art Museum and Philadelphia Zoo...
    Income level doesn_t matter too much, as there are some really rich houses, and some reasonably priced ones also... Philadelphia University is right here too...
    I had my doubts about moving to the area, but I_m glad I live in East Falls.

  • The answer that fits your desires most would be the Mt. Airy or Chestnut Hill sections of the City. They are, however, mostly detached dwellings. Located in the Northwest they have two rail lines, are adjacent to Fairmount Park, have great restaurants, and have easy access to Center City. Some parts of Germantown would also fit your description; especially if you have an interest in Victorian architecture.

  • You_re better off outside the city somewhere. I hope you_re set financially.
  • What are the good restaurants at Epcot and Hollywood Studios in Disney?|154574

    Is the restaurant where you sit in car seats any good? Has anyone ever eaten there?

  • There are a few restaurants in each park that are very good places to eat. Here are a few of our favorites:

    Disney Studios:

    Sci-Fi Drive in - eat in cars while watching old sci-fi movie footage. Food was great, price not outrageous (as compared to other Disney restaurants), and the atmosphere was really cool. We ate here when we visited in March, and my kids loved it.

    50_s Prime Time Cafe - Eat in a kitchen with _Mom_ or _Auntie_ as your server. Better eat all your veggies and keep your elbows off the table, or you will hear about it. Food was good, pretty much what you would expect from a 50_s type restaurant.

    Hollywood Brown Derby - Signature dining for Disney. More of an upscale place to eat. Good food, but more of a fancy meal than a fun one, in my opinion.

    Mama Melore_s Restorante Italiano - Outstanding italian food, Great atmosphere.


    Epcot:
    Le Celier - Canada - Good steakhouse. The food was excellent and the price was not as bad as I expected, for a restaurant on Disney property.

    Nine Dragons restaurant - China- some of the best Chinese food that I have ever had. Nice selection, decent prices.

    La Cantina De San Angel - Mexico - Excellent for Mexican cuisine, and I am not a big fan of the spicy food. You sit along a waterway and eat with an exploding volcano in the background. One of our top 5 in all of Disney.

    Biergarten restaurant - Germany - I love German food, and this buffet was worth every penny.

    The only restaurant I do not recommend in Epcot is the Electric Umbrella or the American Pavillion in the U.S.A. These were not so good when we tried them, food was dry an pretty tasteless, not worth the money.

    Those are our favorites for the places you asked about, but there are a whole bunch more. I would suggest checking out the disboards. The disboards is a message boards website all about going to Disney. You can get restaurant reviews and suggestions, resort reviews, tips for avoiding crowds, and more info than you can possibly imagine. I would also check out the Disney website and use their dining finder. Tons of info there as well.

    Hope this helps, have a great trip!

  • Sci Fi Dine In, was the only other resturant that my two year old nephew would sit still and behave in (Crystal palace being the other). There is alot to see in there. Otherwise when i was there in January the Brown Derby was extremely nice (great bartender too) we purchased the option where you had reserved seating for the fireworks too. If you are with kids the Hollywood on vine it a great character dining, and offers more of the buffett style. as for epcot, the resturant in Mexico is really nice, and so it the yakatori house.

  • I Would Suggest you and your family go down to Downtyown Disney, which I believe is close to Epcot, there is plenty of shopping and dining.. Including, Rainforest Cafe, McDonalds, Plant Hollywood, and More.. and there is this one super nice place, i forget the name of it, but its beside Planet Hollywood, is super nice, but highly over-priced, we ate their this past summer, For me, my brother, Mom and her bf, it was like $130.00.. but if you can afford it, I WOULD SUGGEST GOING THERE..

  • Sci Fi Dine In- MGM, Cost: Medium, Grade: A+. I love Sci Fi, for the feeling, and the food is good. You sit in _Drive In_ cars, or Flying Sauser chairs, and they play movie previews from movies in the 50s and 60s. It_s a lot of sun, aspecially is you have children, 6+. Younger ones might not like the dark, and some images of _Monsters_ but they do play cartoon- space related things, like the cat who hates people, and tom and Jerry.



    Le Cellier: Epcot: World Showcase: Canada: Grade A: Our family usually goes to Le Cellier once each trip. The prices are fairly high, but just as much as you might find at some place like Longhorn (I think that is what it is called) It_s a steak house, so you have to reason prices. Kids can get the usuall Disney favorite, chicken or hotdogs, but they can also get a kids steak. The feeling there is so cool. You are litterally underground, so it is colder, but it is very nice there.

    World SHowcase: Pigging Out Around The World, as we like to call it. There is a resteraunt in every country. Some are sit downs and some are sit downs, or take outs. If you don_t want reservations take your time and see what each country has.

    Hope this helps. If you need help planning, send me an e-mail!

    (Downtown Disney is 15+ minutes from Epcot and MGM..... and it takes forever by bus, sometimes an hour with all the stops!)

  • I think you mean the Sci-Fi Restaurant at Hollywood Studios..and yes it_s GREAT! I love their chicken caesar salad! I go to Disney every year and that_s one place I make sure to stop at.

    Also I really like the Japanese restraunt at Epcot. I am not sure what it_s called. I am sure you can find it!

  • The Sci-Fi Drive in is the one in Hollywood Studios. You sit in _cars_ under the stars watching old Sci-Fi movies at a drive in. Yes The food is good, and the atmosphere is fun.

    We were just there at the end of May but make reservations! or the wait is long. Also try a shake...very thick and good.

    Have fun!

  • There are lots of really great restaurants at Disney_s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT is really the peak of theme park dinning! You can read a great article on the Best of WDW at

    Have fun!
