What are some good places to visit in Alaska?|158470

I_m thinking about moving to Alaska but want to go and visit for a few weeks before I move there. I_d kind of like to get a feel for the whole state so I plan on keeping on the move and visiting several different parts.

Be sure to include Southeast Alaska in your travels. Juneau and Sitka are a little isolated, but Haines and Skagway are on the road system. I can tell you more if you_re interested. Let me know.

I used to live in Fairbanks. It is a great place to see. Also about an hour noth of fairbanks is chena hot springs. Here is a website.

If you have any other questions just ask- my parents still live up there.

The hot spots are along the South East coastal lines of Alaska. I have lived in Sitka and Cordova also been through Haines the eagles are the best and moste exciting to see moste of all. People here in Alaska like to see the glaciers calving. The best way to see them would be going on a tour boat like Kenai Fjords Tours

Another hot spot is Seward, in which cruise ships make a stop from early part of May to mid Sept.

Near eagle river..north of anchorage, there is a Russian Cemetary at the ELKUTNA exit. Its one of my favorite places to see up here.

What is fun to do in denver, co at night for ages 18 and under?|139667

My boyfriend and i are stuck at home for spring break and we need something exciting to do for cheap!

Be creative, you can find a way to acquire a keg (convince an older friend or sibling to buy it) and have all your friends over and throw a rager. Kegs are only about $50 (which is cheap) and you can charge $3 per cup and make a profit if you get enough people to come.

Yeah, go ahead and give me a _thumbs down._ I_m fun and honest, which is why I have 57% best answers, while the museum/shopping crowd has under 10%.

You can go to Colorado Mills Mall, downtown Denver, Wheat Ridge Recreation Center, Butterfly Pavillion, or Belmar or to Boulder.

indoor skydiving :))
omg it_s sooooo fun!
[[not scary]]

eh, kinda expensive though.
but definitely worth it

I_m not from Denver but there_s loads of things to do.... its a bigger, more lively place than where I live now and I always manage to have a great time

Besides going to a movie (which I think is fun anyway!) you could go to a play at the Denver performing arts center (sorry, I can_t remember what it_s called, but it_s really nice), or a concert (they have just about all the stars) but my top recommendation would be Elitch Gardens. Once in the regular season, they_re open _till 9pm. They really up-ed their game when they broke off from the Six Flags franchise. The Denver Museum of Nature and Science is fun, but the only things to do in the evening is IMAX movies (they don_t have the Hollywood movies, only the educational ones) and sometimes they have a special exhibition that has evening tickets available. Denver isn_t the best place for night-time activities, but you can still have fun!

goto 6 flags, imax, dave and busters, 16th street mall, im not familuar that much anymore i have moved to phx,az

QUAKE22 GOOD answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is the difference between a hoagie and a sandwich?|160561

I don_t understand it. You can put the same ingredients between two slices of bread. I guess what I am after is what really makes a hoagie a hoagie??

You make a sandwich at home.

A hoagie is bought from a Mom and Pop store on the corner, and it has lunch meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and a delicious oil on an Amaroso roll.

I live in Los Angeles. I cannot get a hoagie here :-(

Can you send me one?

Amoroso_s rolls are what make a hoagie a hoagie!

__The hoagie (aka hero, submarine, grinder, and poor boy (or po_ boy)) is a sandwich defined by the bread- a small Italian (originally) or French bread loaf and its amount of stuffing (large compared to the average sandwich). Some of the names and the composition vary regionally, but the real deal is always a BIG sandwich.

I grew up in Philly and have heard many variations, but i beleive the commonly accepted historical source for the word hoagie, came from the old time Hog Island workers and the unusually long , overstuffed sandwiches they became known for bringing to work with them. It was often two meals for them since their shifts were so long. It became a popular regional treat and then grew from there! A hoagie is basically a sandwich overstuffed on a long roll, normally italian. And if you are from the area it has to be Amoroso_s bread ... mmmmmmm I miss it!

A hoagie is made on a hoagie roll which contains more breading than a thin piece of bread.

Usually a hoagie is an open faced sand which and it has been baked or broiled in an oven and a sand which has not

You gotta use the right roll to make a hoagie and S Philly has the best bakery_s for rolls and Amoroso_s is one of the most popular rolls to use. But it isn_t a hoagie if it is on bread it is just another sandwich.

A hoagie is a type of bread, a sandwich is a general term. All hogies are sandwiches, but not many sandwiches are hoagies.

How can I kill 4 hours in downtown Albuquerque? Should I stay in a hotel, or take the bus home that night?|160958

Next week I (and probably 1 other friend) am taking the bus to Albuquerque to see a free concert of my favorite band. The bus arrives 4 hours before the venue opens. Is there enough to do and see in downtown ABQ to kill the time? And also, there is a bus that goes back that night at 4:25 AM, would it better to take that bus home, skip the hotel all together and save a little extra cash?

I think the bus drops you off on 1st street right down town. It depends where the concert is, the convention center, which is downtown, Tingly, which is at the fair grounds, or the Journal which is out by the airport. There is not much to do down town. I would probably get a room and even rent a car. Everything is pretty spread out. If you had a car you could go ride the Sandia tram then get to the concert! Not sure when the bus will leave that next day but it_s never that fun to sleep in the station! I would get a room! Good luck!

How does someone go about getting a job at Yosemite Park?|155208

I_m looking to move to California and wanted to work at Yosemite Park. I went hiking there a few years back and always thought it would be a great place to work. Hey, even if it_s to work at the pizza place.

Now my questions are: What are the qualifications? Is it difficult to get a job there? Does anyone have first hand knowledge about working there?

If anyone could help me out with my curiosity in this, that would be much appreciated!

You do realize the park is closed in the winter?
You might want to consider the South Lake Tahoe area. It_s open year round and the park is just a couple of hours drive.

That is a National Park and so jobs are listed (when available) at the National Park Service web site. The concessions are under contract to the Park Service, so you would need to find their home office for applications. You_d probably need to talk to the manager at the concession stand to find out where to apply.

Which city is best to live in Chicago or san fransisco, San diego is an option as well?|157110

Which city has the highest living expenses and which has the lowest? Which city is the most artisticly flourishing?

San Diego has a lot of open areas........The utilities aren_t as expensive as in San Francisco or Chicago....The weather is more temperament in San Diego. Rarely do you need to wear long sleeves in San Diego. In the evenings you can wear a windbreaker.........very few times do you wear a leather coat. If it is clear blue skies with puffy clouds and no smog........then San Diego would be the choice.

As in all three places there are many nationalities from all over the world. Each has its flourishing in its own artistic ways.

Historically Chicago and San Francisco have the more iinteresting buildings.

Here are some good sites for housing information:

www.realtor.com

www.zillow.com

www.signonsandiego.com one of the local papers

I don_t know anything about San Francisco, but I_ve lived in San Diego for my entire life and I frequently travel to Chicago. San Diego has beautiful weather. Its usually sunny, but the weather is very unexpected. Just yesterday it rained and its June. In Chicago, the winters are very cold. Sometimes below zero. The summers are nice too, but sometimes it gets too humid in my opinion. I have to say that the cuisine and epicurean taste in Chicago is a lot better than San Diego, but I prefer the traffic in San Diego over Chicago anyday. Also if you there are other forms of transportation such as the trains, buses, or taxi. In San Diego, there are only the buses, the coaster, and the trolley. Hope that helped.

San Francisco is the most expensive city, followed by San Diego, then Chicago. Chicago has the Art Institute, and a very artistic community. It is a city that has all you would need, and more. Only drawback is weather. It is truly the windy city, and icy, freezing as well. San Diego has the best weather, but it_s people are typical Southern Cal. - rude, self absorbed, entitled, and narcisstic - sorry, but all of Southern Cal. is like that! Northern Cal. has the best people, they_re more like Midwesterners in attitude and values. Chicago_s people are great as well.

I prefer San Francisco, for it_s beauty, things to do, and openness of people. If you go there, just bring lots of money because it costs!

as for highest living i already KN0W without having to think its gonna be ANYWHERE iN CALi period.

lowest...i really cant say but prolly chicago and chicago is flourishing alot right now with the olympics coming here in acouple years and all...chicago has alot going on!

i dont know much of anything about san fran besides all the up_down hills and the golden gate bridge-- i couldnt live there, but heres something to ponder--
..........im trying to move FR0M Chicago T0 most likely San Diego real soonnnn....chicago cannot be compared to san diego! like everrr! cali has much more to do in my opinion ESPECiALLY with the beaches and celebs and stuff Oh! and might i add the wonderful weather =]]

San Diego is really nice.

What part of Florida is best to visit during the summer?|125306

What part of Florida would be best to visit during the summer.
Must have a beach, be kid friendly, and not be in a dangerous area/region. Thanks=]

.....any where along the Emeral Coast of Northwest Florida from Panama City to Pensacola.

I would recommend that you either go to Miami, Key West or Clearwater. Both Key West and Clearwater have very nice beaches are beautiful places to visit. I would not recommend going to Orlando as it can be very busy as many people go for a holiday and the parks are extremely busy. If you go to Orlando and go to the theme parks, you are wasting your money as you will constantly be hot and you ill have to wait in hours of queses to go on rides while you are scorching hot. Miami isn_t that kid friendly but can have some nice beaches. Personally I would go to Key West for a nice relaxing holiday!

well pensacola beach has white beaches unlike most beaches on the atlantic. there are more than 50 beaches and there is one for every person. to avoid the crowd i recommend chicken bone beach. (name doesn_t have to do with anything) they have like a 10 mile road that you can ride your bike on or walk with no cars on it and it is paved. however, the keys are a good place. but not key west, i have heard there are a lot of homosexual activity there.

The whole state is too hot and humid in Summer...it_s the worst state to visit. The best of the worst would probably be Key West because of the prevailing winds, keeping the temperature and humidity level low.

Key West is not as gay as Floridians contend. Another key to checkout is Sugarloaf Key:

Siesta Key. I love that place.

Orlando and surrounding area.

Fort Walton Beach is a very friendly community with beach front!

Key West.
