What beach in Maui is good for beginner bodysurfing?|154978

My hubby and I will be going to Maui in the near future and we want to try bodysurfing (boogie boarding). We are not super strong swimmers and are worried a bit if we will be ok (we_ve only seen the ocean once when we were both kids). Is there a good beach for beginners?

Kamaole Beach 1 in Kehei is a good place. The beaches in southwest Maui tend to be flatter and wider than those in the Kaanapali area. That particular beach has a lifeguard, hence my suggestion.

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.
