Where are some good places to stop when driving from San Diego to Los Angeles on the 101 or 5?|173872

I will be driving from San Diego to Los Angeles and I am interested in stopping at sceninc spots or beaches or tourist spots along the way. Does anyone have any good ideas?

Mission San Juan Capistrano, especially if your drive coincides with the return of the flocks of swallows each March 19th.

The Citidel Outlets for your outlet shopping needs just south of LA off 5. Can_t miss it, looks like a giant castle.

Also lots of beach areas along the drive, if you see water just turn off and stretch your legs....ahhh.

Explore Central Park

It depends on how touristy you want to be. I like times square, she_ll probably love walking through toys r us and Sephora and the Hershey store etc.. but its a pain to be in those crowds for very long. Central park is a great great place in the city where you don_t have to spend any money. I wouldn_t personally spend the money on a carriage, walking is just as relaxing. I would walk in from the lower west corner at Columbus Circle and work your way up to the Metropolitan- that way you get a taste of the upper west and east side. Also, the Upper West Side is a great place to find cute restaurants. Just walk up Columbus and you_ll find something great and usually pretty reasonable.

Another fun one is going down to Chinatown/ Little Italy- if your girlfriend likes purses she_ll have fun bartering for a fake and its a fun atmosphere downtown, great place to wander. Just get down to Canal Street and have fun finding your way around.

As for transportation, if your looking to save money- take the subway- if you only have a certain amount of time though and you want to get on the other end of the city, splitting cab fare might help you see more in the span of a day.

One last thing. Riverside Park, if you go in around 72nd street is a fun walk along the river.

Hope that helps! Have Fun!

i suggest going to central park. its very peaceful there.
also you could go to times square and just wander around. do a little window shopping. there_s that ferris wheel at toys r us which costs like around i think 5 dollars to ride. its pretty cool.

there_s also ice skating at the Pond which is in Bryant Park (42nd and 7th ave) which is this skating rink that has no admission fee. you only pay for the rental skates. if you have your own skates then its totally free.

to eat out i suggest going to Dallas BBQ at 42nd near 8th ave. its pretty cheap for a lot of food. there_s also Juniors which is a bit more expensive but like for example the chicken Parmesan (which is amazing btw) is big enough for two people then you can buy dessert for like a total of 30 dollars.

Take a horse carriage ride thru Central Park, its usually like 15 bucks per person for 45 minutes or so. Otherwise just walk and explore it! I highly recommend walking thru Strawberry Fields or under the bridge.

Or walk around Time Square and look at all the beautiful christmas displays. See the big christmas tree (which lights up on Dec 3rd!).
See ground zero _ walk thru the beautiful church across the street. Or go window shopping at all the high end stores. Honestly, the possibilities are endless. Just get into the city and take it from there.

iight max- find out what kind of food she likes the most (ex. mexican=taco bell -jk (like a nice restaurant chi-chis or something nice )) idk what else she likes to do? go to a flower shop and buy her stuff

What are the best National Parks to visit in the state of Washington?|142742

I love beautiful scenery, hiking, backpacking, etc. Can you tell me about your favorite parks and hikes?

Olympic National Park is the best one to visit in the state of Washington. Some spots I like the best in the park are Hurricane Ridge, Hoh Rain Forest, and Rialto Beach. Stop at the Park Visitor Center first to get maps and ask questions so you can save time and figure out where you want to go. I enjoyed auto touring and taking a few short hikes in the park. I also enjoyed watching the wildlife in the park. Everything is so green there, it_s absolutely amazing. Olympic National Park has beaches, forests, mountains, beautiful wildflowers and interesting wildlife. I highly recommend going there if you can only visit one park in Washington state.

Here is a link to the park:

Oh my, they are all so beautiful. Try starting with Mt Rainier National park.

What are some good time-consuming things to do on an airplane?|168233

Besides the obvious, sleeping and reading, what other things do you normally do on a plane to pass the time?

So far I plan on bringing a 2x2x2 and a 4x4x4 Rubik_s Cube, some paper and a pencil, my iPod, cell phone, and that_s pretty much it. (just for my small carry on).

Also, am I aloud to bring my own food on our does it have to be bought at the airport?

If you can, get your hands on a portable dvd player. Watching dvds is great for killing time. Plus, it might fit in your carry-on.

And yes, you can bring your own food. I almost always stop at Subway and carry on my lunch/dinner.

You may not be allowed to bring food since they might have restrictions.

To pass time consider playing with cards and play solitaire or bring an electronic like psp.

Get a book of crossword puzzles, specially the type that have no clues and just give you a few letters with every square numbered.

I would bring your laptop and watch dvds...


Enjoy your trip:)

How do you travel between islands in Hawaii?|170610

We want to go on a trip to Hawaii and spend 2 night in Maui and 2 nights in Kauai. How do you travel betwen the two?

From Kahului Maui, the way to get to Kauai is by air.

You have many choices: Aloha Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, Island Air and GO!.

I suggest you start by visiting all their websites. Fares change frequently because of competition, so you might get lucky and find a great fare.

Aloha, Hawaiian and GO! fly jets. Their service is OK.

Island Air flies smaller turbo-prop planes that carry 37 people. Some people do not like to fly prop planes, but I fly Island Air frequently and my experience with them has been good as well.

Good luck!

Fly into maui for 2 days then get on a flight to Kaui for 2 nights then fly back to maui for another night since you have to leave from the same place you fly into and you really dont want to split 2 days into 1 and 1 it wont feal like enough time trust me. plus with the extra day you can spend it just relaxing b4 you have to back home. You can try many different airlines hawain, aloha, much more look online they have deals for last minute trips and 30 days in advance trips. One time I got lucky and the inter island fairs were 18 dollars!

by airplanes which take 30 minutes between each island

Very easily and quickly. There are hourly flights; you won_t have any problem. have a wonderful trip..... it is just so gorgeous.

By air or boat.

The main mode and most popular is by air. Hawaii air has flights between each of the islands.

you can travel by helicopter...

You take a bout or a plane, thay might have a ferry.

How do i go barefoot to pick my sister up from harlan?|142338

I was wanting to know how to go barefoot to pick my sister up without anyone knowing. She lives in Harlan,Ky and I live in Whitesburg, Ky it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to get there _ I need some help to go _ get there barefoot. Can anyone help?

Why don_t you want anyone to know you_re barefoot? Some people don_t like it but it_s not illegal or gross to go barefoot, even in stores and even when you_re driving. Stand up for yourself and don_t care so much what other people will say or think, just go barefoot and who cares who sees you!

If you really don_t want that, you could try barefoot sandals, they_re like a strap that covers the top of your foot and leaves the bottom bare. Most designs are girly but you can easily make your own from a strap of leather, all it is is really a figure-8 around your ankle and second toe, attach the two straps at the right place near the toe and you_re done.

Lelars is correct. You are an idiot.

nope can_t help you with your problem............

You sound like an idiot.......................

yOUR SPIRIT OF CHOICE and YOUR pAXIL !

I don_t understand the problem. Just go barefoot. Many people go around barefoot all the time. Its more comfortable than wearing shoes, its relaxing and healthy and good for your feet to be without shoes. Dont worry what others might think. most of the people are ignorant of the laws regarding bare feet. It is not illegal to drive barefoot and no state has any health department regulations regarding footware in places. Just do it.
