How to get from London to Toms River New Jersey, and how long it takes?|144292

I want to fly from London - what airport should I go to? How do I get from there to Toms River? How long should I allow for the airport to Toms River journey?

London England? the flight would be between 7.5 and 12.5 hours. it will cost about $700 round trip. (sorry i don_t know pounds) Aer Lingus and bmi both fly and would land at either PHL or JFK. PHL be closer of the to Toms River. it would be and 1:45 to drive or if you take mass transit closer to 3:30. your could fly out of either LHR or LGW.
hope the helps:)

What is the most economical way of transport for sight seeing in New York?|155202

Hi,

We are a couple of friends visiting NY for a week and were seeking the most convenient and economical way of visiting the popular sights. Both of us are University students and should also be eligible for student discounts if offered anywhere.
We will appraciate any ideas and recommention.

Thanks for you help.

The subways and buses will be the most economical way to get around the city and both are quite easy and safe to use. The Transit Authority has a guide with all the routes, or you can find these in many NYC guidebooks. A bit of study before your visit will get you familiarized with the system, which is very logical, for the most part.

Quite often, if you go to the website of an attraction you will find information on what bus/train to take to get there.

To save some money, you may want to check out CityPass, which is a one-price ticket that includes many NYC attractions. You would have to do a bit of research to see whether this would actually save you money or not.

Have a great trip!

The best and economical way to do sight seeing in New York City is by public transit and on foot.

In regards to public transit, the fare on the subway is $2.25 a person, per ride. However, since you_re all going to be in town for a week, may I recommend purchase a 7-day Unlimited Ride MetroCard for $27 a person. The 7-day Unlimited Ride MetroCard will coming pertty handy when making multiple trip on the subway and local bus system in the City.

Now, the reason the card is cost $27 a person is because the card can not be shared. I_ll say it again, _The Card Can Not Be Shared_. Therefore, each of you have to purchase an individual card.

Also, many of the main attractions offer discount on ticket when you use you MetroCard. One of them is the Titanic exhitbition in Times Square. I_ve included a link to the information blow.

In regards to walking, most of the attraction in New York City are with walking distance to each other. For example, Times Square and Rockefeller Center are with a 10 to 15 minutes walking distance from each other (depending on your walking pace). So, if you rather not to take the subway, you can just walk from one place to the other.

Please note that you might want to pack some comfortable pair of shoe if you_re going to be doing a lot of walking in the Big Apple.

I hope this information is very helpful.

Good luck

How bad is the problem with water in the southwest, specifically the Las Vegas, Nevada area?|191005

I am planning on moving to the Las Vegas, Nevada area within the next 2 years and I would like to know, how bad the problem with water is in that area. also, are their any plans to fix the problem if possible in the future. Thanks!!!!

The water problems are serious, but perhaps not as bad as the press would have you believe. The huge growth of Las Vegas is a major factor, as are the current drought conditions.

If history is a guide, the drought will be self correcting over a period of years. The growth is likely to continue.

One of the excellent programs in place to help conserve is an incentive program offered by the Las Vegas Valley Water Authority. Right now they are offering a rebate of $1.50 per square foot to replace lawns with water smart landscaping.

The water savings are huge. We switched from grass to a desertscape a few years ago and our water bill dropped by 75%. That means we are now using only a quarter of the water we used before.

Channeling rainfall back into Lake Mead also helps, and I_m told other measures are in place or in the works.

One good indicator of an area_s probable future is new construction.

Right now there is more than $40,000,000,000 (yes billion) worth of new construction underway. The people involved in these projects would certainly not be building if they weren_t certain water would be available.

Hope this helps

Its pretty bad. There are restrictions on what day and time you can water your plants. If you don_t abide by them, it_s a 300$ fine. Currently, it is ILLEGAL for new homes being built to have a grass front yard. You are only allowed to have rocks or alternative grass. The RJ wrote an article saying by 10 years, Lake Mead will be so receeded, the town underneath can be inhabited. They really should stop giving water to Utah and Northern Nevada and leave it for the people who have no other water source.

Lake Mead is sinking alarmingly fast. Many marinas have dried up and some people say if they cant figure something out fast there wont any marinas left in 10 years.

Odds are with all the billions and billions in revenue that state in gambling, they will come up with some kind of soloution. But they better do it fast.

Plans, they request residents yank out the grass and put in native desert plants. I think the estimate the Lake Mead water reservoir for electricity and drinking/shower water supply will dry up by 2020.

They over built so miraculously badly!

Is the vancouver or pullman campus better of washington state university?|157767

Im am planning to attend washington state university for engineering. being in a large city doesn_t bother me. i am waiting for more info from wsu but which campus is better, and why? thank you for any help.

Sorry you missed your mark by about 3000 miles. This is Travel Washington, DC. Washington State is West Coast and we are East Coast.

First, you should know that I have not attended WSU or any of the branch campuses that they offer. Geographically speaking, Vancouver is on the west side near Portland while Pullman is on the far east side, somewhat near to Spokane. I_m not sure, but I assume that courses at either location have to adhere to the same requirements. Another thing to take into consideration is that the home sporting events are in Pullman. Several friends of mine have attended WSU Tri-Cities. From what I_ve heard. TC has a pretty good correlation between the university and companies that give you on-hands experience such as Battelle, Bechtel, and Flour. I hope that I helped. Best wishes as you go to college!

What does the number 1217 have to do with North Carolina?|190518

Is there a historical meaning, maybe a location of something significant? Does it have to do with the Lost Colony? I_m doing something related to the Outer Banks/Kitty Hawk area and I need to know what significance it has. Maybe it was before North Carolina and South Carolina seperated?

Maybe this

How long does it take to get out of Midway airport from the moment the plane lands?|181261

OK, I need to plan a trip and I want to know how much time it takes from the moment the plane lands till I get out of the airport. Thanks

Do you mean until the time you walk out of the door of the airport or get to downtown Chicago? Big difference. To get out of the actual airport and onto the sidewalk you have to wait for the plane to pull up to the gate and everybody to get out of the plane (about 15-20 mins), then go down to the baggage area and wait for your bags to come down (about another 30 minutes or so), then walk upstairs and out of the airport (12-15 minutes), so figure on anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. Now if you_re talking about getting to downtown Chicago, you can take an Orange Line CTA train instead of driving. That will cut down on the time but still take about 35-45 minutes. So figure that it will take you about an hour and a half to get from the plane to downtown Chicago.

Getting to the bus station will add a little more time. You have to take the orange line to Adams, get off, walk about two blocks west to the Blue line subway, take it to the Clinton stop, get off and go upstairs, then walk one block south to the Bus terminal.

Alot less then that mess up north, O_hare!

45 minutes up to 2 hours

There_s really no actual way of knowing the exact time it will take. Sometimes it_s taken 40 mins, sometimes it_s taken over an hour... It just depends.

edit: I used to travel past Midway every day on the way to my internship...traffic wasn_t always THAT bad... Just usually around major travel holidays.

Depends on the time of day and where you are going.

I got in last Friday night, and didnt get out of the actual airport area for almost an hour. I didnt get to my hotel for almost an hour and a half.

The traffic around Midway can be heredous at peak times.
