What really fun things can a 6 year old boy do in the Mackinaw/St. Ignace area in Michigan?|116836

My husband, son, and I are going up to the Mackinaw bridge in about a week. Does anyone know of really cool things that a 6 year old boy can do? I_ve already been to several websites. I dont think he_ll enjoy site-seeing very much.

Before you go on the trip, show your son all the Mackinac Island photos on Flickr. Read to him all the nice things people say to each other on that website. Tell him that you_ll let him use the digital camera for the entire trip so that he can take pictures and upload them to Flickr too when he gets back.

I admit this doesn_t work for all 6-year olds, but I know a few who won_t set the camera down during the entire trip, because they can_t wait until they get back to share the photos they took on the Internet.

The best thing about it is all the positive feedback your son will get. Just make sure you_re always there when he_s online of course...

Take him to Mackinac City. There_s lots of shops and little rides for him. You can also go to Mackinac Island (take the ferry over), and spend a day there. There_s lots of things to see and do there. There are fun houses and magic shops, with magicians, street performers, lots of horses and animals, parks and lots of things to do.

go to mackinaw island, and just wlk around, or you can let him swim in lake michigan.

As corny as it may be the Mystery Spot is always fun. They have a miniature golf course now as well. If you don_t mind a little bit of a drive the GarLyn Zoological Park is fabulous.

Mackinaw Island is fun but a bit expensive. The ferry ride is great. You can also go horseback riding or bicycle riding around the island. If he likes that sort of thing the fort can be fun.

Depending on the weather - Thunderfalls Water Park is great! We were just there last week and had a great time. Tip if you go- SUNSCREEN!

Good luck and have fun!

Hunt the beaches for Petosky Stones. They are fossil corals that look great wet or polished.

Also, there are some Agates on the beaches that can be worth hundreds of dollars to Lake Superior Agate collectors.

It_s like a treasure hunt!!!

How many days should 2 teenagers spend in Disney World?|109859

I am 15, my brother is 17. We_ve never been to Disney World, but we plan on going. How many days should we spend in Disney World? Also how many days should we spend at each theme park? Lastly, what parks should we go to, like should we go to the water parks and what else should we go to? Good and detailed answers please. Thanks.

I think that there are definitely things you will enjoy at each of the parks. So if you can, I would visit all four of the theme parks. I usually like to give myself about a week at Disney, which allows for a day or two of things other than theme parks to give me a bit of a break.

At least a day at Magic Kingdom, possibly two. At least a day at Epcot, possibly two if you want to really thoroughly explore all the countries in the back.

Hollywood Studios - some people think this is a half-day park. Personally, I really like some of the rides there and like to do them more than once, such as the Tower of Terror and Rock n Roller Coaster. So for me, I like to spend a full day there. Animal Kingdom - not my favorite, I_m not that in to animals. So this is a half-day park for me.

Water parks - I am not a water park person, but if you are, Disney has two great ones. I wouldn_t necessarily go to them both, but you might like to pick one to spend a day at.

There is a shopping/eating district called Downtown Disney that you might want to visit one day. It_s good to do this maybe mid-way through your visit to give you a bit of a break from the parks, which can be hectic. Disney Quest is kind of an advanced arcade, and it is in this area. It_s a bit pricey, but you might like to check it out.

This is the best planning site I know of. They list absolutely everything there is to do. Scan through the attractions that each park has and come up with a list of must-see attractions for you. This will help you decide how to divide your time.

Having teenagers myself i tell you they would say stay as long as you can. But realistically one or two days for a single trip is fine. that gives you time to go to more different parks.

Like i say to mine you can always go back. I would highly recommend the disney quest in downtown disney for your age group,. Its like a virtual wonderland and definately worth a trip and it stays open late.

have a great time..

At least five. Animal Kingdom takes a good day, Epcot takes a day, MGM takes a half a day, but there are things you might want to do more than once, Magic Kingdom takes a day and a half to get everything in, You should make time to go to Downtown Disney one evening, and Blizzard Beach is the best waterpark it takes about half a day. Visit www.disneyparks.com for more info, and Have fun!!! I_m super jealous.

Well, maybe you should spend a week there, if you can. Disney World has four theme parks, two water parks, and a shopping and entertainment district call Downtown Disney. The theme parks are: Disney_s Magic Kingdom, Disney_s Animanl Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney_s Hollywood Studios (I think that_s what its called). The two water parks are Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. It really depends on you to decide which theme parks to go to and how long to stay there.

Are you going alone? You won_t be able to stay in a hotel since neither of you are 18. Renting a car is also out, because you must be 25. Perhaps you have other plans for these things, but I wanted you to be aware of these age restrictions.

It depends on how much time you have! One day at each park MINIMUM!

You will have a lot of fun exploring Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney Hollywood Studios, Disney_s Animal Kingdom, Blizzard Beach, and Typhoon Lagoon!

It is an awesome place!

But you can get cheap tickets to it all over at
http://www.OrlandoFunTickets.com
give them a call, they can also help you plan!

Oh, goodness where do I start...
a good idea is to study it and setup a neat and organised plan or trip online.

ok i would go to the tyfoon water park for one day disney for 2 epcot for 1 in a half mgn studios for the other half!! and animal kingdom i would 2 so thats like a week!!

Try to be there AT LEAST one week. There are several parks. Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom (a must), Epcot, MGM...

Where is the best place in Indiana to watch to sunset or sunrise?|106798

Trying to be a good romantic boyfriend and find a good place to watch the sunset or rise in central Indiana.

Mt. Baldy county park in michigan City on Lake Michigan is the best spot... bring some wine and a blanket too... the largest dune on lake michigan... just as the sun sets the water gets calm , quiet and serene...mmm...boing!!!

Go up north to the Michigan shore, and watch the sun set over the lake.

maybe you should take her to some kind of lake or something where you can watch it rise.

Is it safe for an immigrant to fly from boston to california on an airplane ?|181015

My friend has a boy friend that is an immigrant and is not legal in the U.S. and they want to come to cali to visit. Is it safe for him to fly on a plane without any problem or immigration checking on him?

To get on a flight within the US, you need to go through a TSA agent who scrutinizes all i.d. Your friend_s friend might get questioned at this point.

Probably not, and definitely not if his ID is an American-issued one, such as a driver_s license.

Depends. They will definitely check his ID several times. I would not take the chance if he is illegal.

When do the four seasons in new york start and finish?|103354

im traveling to new york soon in need to know seasons, weather and celebration days eg. Hanuka

The seasons basically follow the equinoxes/solstices. Spring is approximately mid-March through mid-June, summer is mid-June through mid-September, etc. Of course, nothing is ever perfect, which is why this morning it was kind of cold (about 40 degrees) and tomorrow is supposed to be in the mid-80s.

Chanukah isn_t any time soon. The only major upcoming holiday is Memorial Day, which is at the end of May. There_s also Mother_s Day, which is May 10.

Has anyone ever won a disney sweepstake prize or any other kind of sweepstake prize?|122057

I really want to win a disney sweepstake prize trip or any other kind of sweepstake prize trip for that matter, but i really dont know which websites are scams and which are real! Have you ever won any? Can you give me some good websites for them?

Try these good luck

http://www.visitflorida.com/contest/

I_ve never won any kind of sweepstake, or even heard of anyone winning any kind of sweepstake.

Personally with the number of people living in our country/world, your chances are extremely slim. I mean EXTREMELY.

Especially if it_s only 1 person who wins such as a million dollar prize.

Similar to the lottery.

No i Would love to win though. One time my sister found a website in the newspaper and she went on it and you guessed what the christmas ornament was made of for like 2 weeks and she got the most of them right in my city and she won a cam corder, got her picture in the newspaper and met the mayer. Good luck winning a contest. :) _3

The only real ones are the ones featured on Disney.com and any company that you can immediately tell is legitimate (ie Fox and ABC).

An obvious detector is the requirement. If it requires you to pay any fees, that screams scam.

One time I won a car from Coca Cola. Unfortunately I was twelve and you had to be eighteen or older to win it. Why I didn_t think to have my mom call the number is beyond me.

Well one time when i entered a disney park, this lady chose our family at random. We got reserved seats at the indiana jones stunt show.

Disneychannel.com.. lol. But nah, I haven_t won any, because it involves meeting people. Scary.

no i think they are rigged that friends of ceo_s get to win. they publish names and states but that is a farce too.

I won a trip to florida disneyworld from a grocery strore chain,

Is it embarrassing to pass resumes in hotels and restaurants through walk in?|177752

We all know that it_s hard to find jobs these days but is it acceptable to pass resumes in an establishment through walk in? Isn_t it kinda embarrassing?

Since you posted your question in the Las Vegas category I will tell you that here they want you to use their websites to apply for positions. Even if you walk into their human resource offices they will seat you at a computer to fill out the application. They will then tell you that they will call for an interview if you qualify. When you come for the interview is when you will give them your resume. Otherwise by now following the proceedure your resume will end up in the trash.

some of the large casinos do not even have personnel offices on site, they are blocks away. try it but it will not be a good tactic. you need to go the conventional route. do not be a maverick . they do not like it that way out here.
go with the flow. routine way of doing business.

Nooooo thats what its all about, or you can do it online but if you have a resume in hand you can go to all the shops and pass them to management all in one shot and get yourself in front of them! I say do it!! There is nothing wrong with that..

That is an excellent idea, much better then mailing it, this shows initiative. It also gives you a better chance for an interview. And a chance to meet more upper management.

WHat do you mean? You mean you are going in and dropping it off? People love that because then they get to see what you look like and how well you present yourself.
