How do I know what kind of outlet a campground will have?|174908

What do I ask when I want to know what kind of outlets they have? I do not know much. I know some plugs have two prongs and some plugs have three prongs.

  • The best way, to make sure you will have the right plug, is to take an adapter. That way, you will be able to hook up no matter what kind of an outlet they have. We have been RVing for a couple of years and I have only seen two kinds of outlets. I have also seen 2 kinds of service: 30 amp and 50 amp. For our use the 30 is fine but if you will be operating a lot of things that take electricity you may want to ask that question. Good luck.

  • How can my girlfriend and I have the best time in Boston in 3 days?|111775

    I will be staying at Boston for 3 days. How can I maximize my fun while visiting?

    Thanks.

  • Luckily for you, most things are very close. You can almost walk to many things!

    In Boston, Fanuiel Hall / Quincy Market is a must. It��s a little touristy now, but still a place to revel in history while eating and shopping to your heart��s content.

    Freedom Trail as well, except don_t walk the whole thing. Just hit some of the highlights. Go to the old North Church, Old South Meetinghouse, Paul Revere_s house, and the nearby Cemetery to see John Hancock and other famous people tombstones.

    If you like museums, the MFA (Museum of Fine Arts) is one of my favorite in the world (that and the Mus��e D_Orsay in Paris). Museum of Science is pretty neat too, lots of cool stuff.

    If you like Baseball, you might be able to catch a Red Sox game. Fenway_s very easy to get to by subway.

    If you like to shop, go to the shops at Prudential Center / Copley Plaza. Also, be sure to walk down nearby Newbury St just for fun and window shop.

    Harvard Sq can be entertaining to walk around. Or you can bounce down to MIT and walk those hallways as well. Next to that is the esplanade, where you can walk the Charles River, which is gorgeous in the summer time, walk downtown and grab something to eat near Fanueil hall!

    You can also get a day pass for the _T_ (subway) and ride all over just for fun!




    If you want to wander outside of Boston (like if you have a car),

    There_s also
    Salem (north of Boston),
    Bunker Hill memorial in Charlestown (and you can climb it)
    Old Ironsides (USS Constitution) in Charlestown,
    JFK library (just south of Boston),
    Lexington and Concord (where it all started) out Route 2 (about 30-40 min away).

    Be sure to have a meal at a restaurant in Boston��s famous Italian North End.

    Enjoy the seafood too! For affordable seafood, No Name_s is the place to go. Outside of that, you could do the old reliable Durgin Park @ Quincy Market.

    As you might be able to tell, Boston_s one of my favorite cities.

    Hope you have a fantastic time!

  • Take the Duck tours which are fun. Go to a Red Sox game. Go to Fanueil Hall and eat all the yummy foods.

  • Well, it would really all depend on what sort of trip you are looking for, and what interests you. It would be nice to stay in a nice hotel directly downtown, and go to a romantic restaurant in the North End, and take a walk around the commons. Maybe walk through the Musuem of Fine Art, etc. . .If you_re looking for something more active/fun you could try to get tickets to a Red Sox game, go to the Aquarium, walk around Fanueil Hall (lots of sites, food and shops there) and then go to some of the bars around that area. Duck Tours and the Freedom Trail give you good ideas about the entire city. The top of the Prudential Building is good for a great view of the city.

  • Have a lot of sex!

    Seriously do the duck tours, see fanueil hall/Qunicy Market, Walk the Freedom trail and see the Public Gardens and Boston Common

  • all boston has is liqour and 18plus clubs. I hope you like to drink. and to maximize your fun do not and I repeat do not walk into a dark ally. bostons fun untill one of the gangs kills you and gang rapes you girl. true story.
  • What place in South Orange county has character without being extremely expensive?|112842

    I may relocate somewhere near Aliso Viejo. A lot of it seems like strip malls and look-alike housing developments. Laguna Beach has its charm, but I_ve heard it_s over-the-top expensive. What areas have character?

  • ::sigh::
    Another question that_s impossible to answer.

    See, OC is all new, for the most part. Have you ever seen the video that shows the opening of Disneyland? The only thing you had outside the park was I-5 and Orange Groves. Everything built since then was done with a cookie-cutter, because that_s what people wanted.

    The exceptions to that rule are ALL expensive. Heck, even the cookie-cutter places are expensive. In order to find places with character, you have to go back into the history books. But people who already live in those areas aren_t going anywhere. And the laws of supply and demand dictate a high price for such real estate.

    But you can start looking in the following areas:
    -Huntington Beach
    -Downtown Brea
    -Downtown Orange
    -Santa Ana
    -Laguna Beach
    -Newport Harbor
    -Fullerton, esp. near downtown
    -La Habra (might be your best shot at a decent price)

  • Remember cost is relative...
    Yes, all of Laguna Beach is extermely expensive compared to Omaha, NE, but compared to most of OC there is a lot of responsibly priced rentals. Can you get a 1 bedroom in Irvine and Laguna Beach for $1200 = yes... the one in Irvine will be a much nicer place/the one in Laguna will be a much better location.

    If you really want character without cost, I would look at the Old Town area of Orange or Belmont Heights in Long Beach.

    FYI - Laguna is far from anything. It takes 20+ mins to get to the freeway.

  • dddddddddddddddddd

  • There are no cheap coastal areas, none.

    At Wilderness on the lake in the Wisconsin Dells, can you bring your own boat?|177766

    My family has been at the Wilderness Resort in the Wisconsin Dells a few times already, and we have had a great time. This year we want to go again, yet spin it up a bit, so we are thinking about wilderness on the lake. On the website it says there are boats available for use. First of all, do you have to pay to rent those boats, and second Can you bring your own boat and use it, and keep it there on their marina?

  • im not sure but if you did bring your own boat, the most they could do is make you launch it some where else near by.
  • Which Chicago airport is easier to get to downtown on the train from?|124852

    I_m going to Chicago in September and would like to know whether it_s easier to take the train from O_Hare or Midway to downtown. Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Both are fairly easy, but they are constantly doing work on the Blue Line, the train line that comes from O_Hare to downtown. There are delays all the time, so for that reason I_d say Midway, which is served by the Orange Line.

  • Both are easy but it depends where downtown you are talking about.

    The Orange Line goes right into Midway and goes around the Loop before heading back out to Midway.

    The Blue Line starts at O_Hare and goes under Dearborn Street as a Subway. And many destinations downtown can be accessed by the underground Pedway keeping you out of the elements.

    If you have business in the West Loop west of the Chicago River, you can take the Blue Line from OHare to the Jefferson Park station and then take Metra into Olgilvie Transportation Center at the Citicorp Center.

    See the map below for the downtown area map for the CTA. The second link shows the Pedway System.

    That is one area we are one up on New York - their Subways do not go th the airports. They come close but you have to find a bus to finish the trips to LaGuardia and JFK.

  • Both are easy. From Midway take the Orange Line from the Terminus -sort walk from baggage claim- (12 stops on Orange Line to Clark + Lake). From O_Hare take the Blue Line (16 stops to Clark + Lake).

  • They are both easy. Ohare is farther so it takes longer. The midway train might require a slightly longer walk to get to from the terminal.

  • midway
  • What are some places in Chicago that are open 24 hours a day and have free wifi?|199361

    I_m looking for a place (preferably on the north side of Chicago or downtown) that has free wifi and is open 24 hours a day. A specific place would be appreciated. Any public place like a coffee shop, a diner, or something of that nature would be perfect.

    Thanks.

  • Dunkin_ Donuts opens really late but i_m not sure how late. They also have free Wi Fi ;)

  • My friend sits in the library parking lot in her neighborhood at night, and uses their wifi.

  • How much will a cab cost from Jamaica Queens to Newark Airport?|177285

    I am planning on going away in Jan 2010 and i really don_t want to take the train out to Newark.

  • You can call either Dial 7 or Carmel Car Service, which will take from the Jamaica to Newark for about $45 to $50. The phone number for both car service companies can be found at the link below.

    Good luck
    Native New Yorker

  • I found:

    Midtown Special | JFK $49* | LaGuardia $45* | Newark $59*

    *Tolls _ reservation fees not included, all reservations must agree to company terms _ conditions

  • Listen...your in New York, never take a cab that many miles. Take a cab around in Manhatten, not too Jersey! There are plenty of companys that pool that route.
