Where is a nice quiet place in Texas to go for a romantic weekend getaway?|189989

My birthday is coming up and rather than celebrate with a big party, I just want to get out of the city. We live in Dallas and are on a bit of a budget, so flying somewhere is out of the question and so is an expensive hotel. We are looking to spend around $100 to $125 per night and don_t like the bed and breakfast type places.

Go to Fredricksburg, Texas or the Hill Country. Gruene Hall is WONDERFUL if you like country music and Texas culture (it is by New Braunfels). You could always go to Waco (I used to live there and go to the museums like the Dr. Pepper museum, Ranger museum, Mayborn Museum). There_s always a lot of country music going on in Waco. It is still a city but not as big as Dallas. You could always go to this little Czech community of West (I think you can find B _ B_s there Waco is a short drive south on 35). There_s a few shops in West and there are other towns around there as well. While in West Czech out the kolaches and meat market. You can always go on little country roads and take a trip to Waco for George_s bar (If you like Pat Green you will love George_s bar).

I would head over to Muleshoe just Southwest of Lubbock and visit the feed lot.

well, that is a good planning.

DALLAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go TEXAS GOOOOOOO!!!

new braunsfel area outside austin. or san antonio riverwalk area. probably should stay away from beach areas due to spring break.

South Padre if it_s not Spring Break.

Where is your state? Tell him that you would bring him to great places and give him great food. It would be a great vacation for him. I love vacations.

THAT IS WHY WE SOLD OUR HOME OR WE WOULD STILL BE THERE NO JOKE!

Glendale, Mesa, Tempe are fairly good suburbs; Sunnyslope area is OK and probably cheaper.

You do NOT want to live South of Broadway, or along Van Buren St., East definitely not, OR West for most areas.

There are _pockets_ of _bad_ areas all over town.

Suggest you stay at the YWCA for a week or so, and take the time to look around before deciding where to rent.

Good: Surprise, Avondale, Goodyear, Peoria, North Glendale, far North Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler, Tempe, Awathukee.

Bad: South Phoenix, West Phoenix, South Glendale, and parts of Mesa

Glendale, Mesa, Tempe are some pretty nice suburbs. I used to live around 19th and Missouri which is just a tad south of Glendale, nice area.

good area Avondale _ Goodyear or Deer Valley.. bad is south Phoenix

Which water park in orlando will be the least crowded in june and july?|126558

There are the two Disney_s water park (Blizzard Beach and typhoon Lagoon, Wet n_ Wild, and the new Sea world water park. We are planning to go to at least one and maybe 2.

I have no idea why am i asking this so early, but my cousin wanted to know.

Thanks in advance!!!

whew! nothing like picking the hottest months! LOL
It will honestly be packed no matter where you go. Just take a look at the parks layouts and see which rides you like the most. I personally hate wet n wild and I LOVE Typhoon lagoon. I have a 9 yr old that is too timid for Blizzard Beach so we enjoy the lazy laid back feel of Typhoon Lagoon and love the shark tank there.
Take a cooler with you, lots of food and drinks too, or get a refillable mug.And...get there early to get some chairs to have later on in the day. Find a place in the shade, you_ll need it!!
It_s never too early to plan for Orlando!

NONE OF THEM

That time of the year, it_ll be about a tie actually. I used to live close to Orlando, in Lake Wales, by Donald Duck Orange Juice factory and Cypress Gardens.

You_d have to be insane to go to Disney in the summer. It_s wall-to-wall cranky parents with their twice as whiny kids, and everything is overpriced. NOT a fun experience.

Ummm sorry but NONE!!

Probably the water treatment plant, I mean, come on, it_s Orlando.

Wet n_ Wild.. youll probably have it to yourself

That new park Sea World is opening up, Aquatica, will be a real zoo, but they will all be bad.

none its effin orlando. esp in in the summr haha

How do I get from the Lax Airport to the Greyhound Bus station in Los Angeles?|189584

I need to get from the LAX Airport to the Greyhound Bus station to go to Reno,NV. Can somebody tell me a safe and cheap way? Because I certainly can_t afford a taxi.
Thanks.

You should look online for cheap fares to Reno. Heck, I saw $39 fares to Seattle from LAX today.

i heard rumors that greyhound is going bankrupt so they wont have any buses to nowhere
a lot of their buses are no longer even operated by them but by a contractor
like Curreo, Vermont transit and TMNO buses
and the greyhound station in los angeles is the WORST and MOST dangerous place
to be in Los Angeles its located smack dab in the middle of SKID row!@
no taxi driver will take you there !
you would be just better off to fly from Lax to Reno
if you are already at Lax..
it would be a lot faster and safer too
if you could get a bus to reno
NOw if YOU have to get to greyhound
you would have to first take a lot C bus to the city bus center
then take Metro 439 to 7th and Firgora then on Flower and 6th take
a line 60 or 62 (this will take about 2 hours)
or you could take G bus to the Avattion station then the blue line to 7th strreet
then the line 60 cost is $5.00 (for a day pass) unles you would want to pay $1.25 on each mode of transit)
also note greyhound also has a stop in Hollywood


their buses are smelly the drivers don_t get lost etc
some driver don_t even speak english

Wow - the Greyhound station is in a rather bad part of Los Angeles near Alameda and 7th Street (on 7th Street).

The most convenient way to get to downtown LA (Union Station) is by the FlyAway Bus which is $5.

From there you will need to take a taxi but it is roughly a $6-$8 fare from Union Station to the Greyhound Station.

If you are a brave soul there is also the MTA bus service. I know the Metro Rapid Transit bus #760 (this is an express bus so the stops are less frequent) runs nearby and the MTA bus #60 also passes close by but do not know the hours these buses run. I don_t know the connecting bus routes but you could google _MTA Los Angeles_. I also don_t know what MTA bus fares are either.

Good luck.

Los Angeles is a long way from Reno. Why didn_t you fly into Sacramento or San Francisco or connect to Reno? It will take you overnight to get there by Greyhound because LAX is out of the way for the Greyhound stations which are in Santa Monica and Hollywood. If you get to downtown Los Angeles, you could take the train to Reno. It is probably cheaper to fly.

From the airport, take the Union Station Flyaway shuttle. It will drop you off at Union Station in downtown. From there you can take DASH bus B to Olive/6th, and then Metro bus 18 to Alameda Street, or you can just take a taxi.

Search the web for shuttles LAX and look for one going downtown. Try another search for shuttle or bus LAX to Greyhound Los Angeles. If nothing found, ask at the airport. The Skycaps will know.

What less touristy stuff should I do and see in NYC?|175628

We are going there for the first time in Dec and my boyfriend and i dont_ want to do super touristy stuff ( I live in SF and want to avoid the Fishermens Wharf of NYC whatever that is) we want to check out museums and stuff and i would like to go to Whasington Square park. What should I see and where should I walk around. I want to do a lot of walking around. Also I am staying in Brookyln, any suggestions?

go iceskating at central park, bryant park or rockefellar center. i lived in ny my whole life and i still go, so i guess its not so touristy.

There_s the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and you can walk around Times Square. Actually you can walk to many places. You and your boyfriend can walk along some streets, like 42nd, and Broadway, and just look at the _brown stones_ i.e. house_s.

http://www.123world.com/new-york/new-yor��

Don_t forget to go to Macy, and Saks, it_s huge! There are a ton of plays to see as well. And you can get a TAXI on every corner.


Look into the SHERATON Hotel, it_s near so much to see, and you and your boyfriend could walk to Central Park from the hotel. There are also vendors all over the streets, so when the two of you are out and about, you_ll be able to purchase a scarf or a t-shirt, or a fun foe name brand watch. And don_t forget you two could go to the ZOO, and that_s a lot of walking.

Have a wonderful time in NY_!!!!

The things the girl above suggested are all really nice but they are the most TOURISTY things to do in NYC EVER!! Metropolitan Museum of Art is awesome, you should stop there if you like art. The MOMA is excellent if you like a modern twist on art. NYC has great museums. Do a little research and you_ll find something unique! I went to the Museum of Sex! It was interesting...

Take the R train and go to downtown Manhattan. Best night life, interesting people, great shopping.

here are some suggestions:

Brooklyn Heights and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade
Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Brooklyn Museum
Park Slope and Prospect Park
Brighton Beach

Columbia University / Morningside Heights
Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine and the Grounds
Grant_s Tomb
Riverside Park

**The Central Park Zoo - open all year around; $8 for adults
**Nirvana Indian Restaurant - 40 Central Park South (not far from the Zoo) ... on a high floor, overlooking Central Park / beautiful view / classy neighborhood: dress nicely
**FAO Schwarz - the toy store, on Fifth Avenue at 58th St.
** The Metropolitan Museum - 82nd _ Fifth
closed Mondays, open late Friday _ Sat (take the Madison Avenue bus uptown, the Fifth Avenue bus back downtown) ($ donation)
** The Frick Collection - (museum) 70th Street at Fifth Avenue - beautiful buliding _ grounds -also closed Mondays; ($ donation)

Staying in Brooklyn: take the #51 bus across the bridge to Chinatown in Manhattan.( #51 bus: not on weekends; check the schedule - it runs about every half-hour) or take the subway.... Kam Man is the big Chinese supermarket, right on Canal Street, Chinatown_s _main drag_

(I am not saying you should not go, but I don_t understand your choice of Washington Square Park; forgive me)
