Road trip from chicago to florida avoiding mountains? -

I want to take a road trip from chicago to florida, but I want to avoid the mountains as much as possible. Does anyone know how to do that? I would also like to know how much time it would take if it s possible.

It s definitely, DEFINITELY, a great idea to avoid the moutains this time of year. My sister and I just road tripped from southern WI to Miami and had the misfortune of driving through freezing rain from Atlanta through Nashville and Paducah. The snow-covered roads of IL and WI were almost a relief compared to that stress!That being said I think your best bet is I-65 to I-20 to I-75. We drove straight through to Miami in 23+ hours stopping for gas and food. Hollywood is just north of that so depending on the weather you re probably looking at a similar drive.BTW, if you want to save on gas you should check out this website: http://www.roadtripjournal.com/ for more road trip tips and the chance to win $200 in gas (this would definitely cover the gas bill on your trip).Happy trails!

You probably want to take 65 or 75 depending on where in FL you want to be or whether you want to go through Atlanta or not. 75 might brush the Appalachian mountains in Eastern Tennessee, but it shouldn t be any serious climbing.As far as how long. Again it depends on where in FL you want to go. It s about 15 hours from Chi-town to the Georgia-Florida border. From there though, Florida is actually a pretty huge state in terms of N-S travel. For example, if you re headed to Tallahassee, I d say about 16 hours. If you re going to Miami, it s probably more like 22-23. Check out Google maps for more info. Good luck and enjoy.

If you take I-65 straight south to Birmingham AL you won t see a single mountain worth discussing.Depending on where you are going in FLA you can then head east to Atlanta and then south on I-75 into eastern or central FLA or continue south on I-65 to the panhandle.

What are the best Atlanta suburbs to live in that are closest to the airport? -

Looking for clean, quiet, low crime areas. Any condo or townhome communities would be great!

Somebody I know who works at Hartsfield, bought a beautiful townhouse in the Smyrna, Vinings area. It s not right on top of the airport, but it s a reasonably short commute via 285 -- and the areas have everything she needs: great shopping, good restaurants, a neighborhood-feel, etc.

I would say Palmetto, Peachtree City or Newnan which are south of the airport. The area immediately around the airport is not clean or safe, so stay away from East Point, Hapeville and College Park.

To Meridith...........Smyrna / Vinings..........Plan on about a 1 hour ride to the airport. Unless it s at midnight on Sunday......Thier are NO nice places near the airport - not a one.

Take a look at Tributary. It s in Douglasville, but it s close to Camp Creek Parkway right off of 285. Camp Creek runs right into the Atlanta Airport.

The words that you ve used (clean, quiet, low crime) do not generally describe the south-side city or suburbs.

North west side of town meets your description. Interstate all the way to airport (15 minutes) nice living area.

Peachtree City to the south. Vinings/Smyrna to the north

yeah a big NO for college park. Um try river dale nice school district and Beautiful houses :)

What is better, the Bronx zoo or the Central Park zoo in new york city? -

Well, better how? I mean, the Bronx Zoo is bigger and more thorough, with lions and tigers and bears, oh my, but it s in The Bronx, for cryin out loud, while the Central Park Zoo is prettier and MUCH more convenient.Good luck, and the links below are to webpages about both of them...

Your question is like asking which is better chopped liver or chocolate. The Bronx Zoo is world famous, Central park zoo is a cute little local zoo. Bronx Zoo is free on Wed. and after the zoo you can get great Italian food over on Arthur Ave

The Bronx Zoo is world class. (Take chutzpah s advice about the Italian food on Arthur Ave, but leave the Zoo by the Fordham Road gate at Southern Blvd). The only thing the Central Park Zoo has is convenience. It is about a mile from Times Square.

Both, however, the Bronx Zoo is larger and older.Good luck

What is the cheapest way to get fro Illinois to california? -

Im looking for the cheapest way possible to get from chicago to the san bernadino area? HELP

Check out deals on Southwest Airlines from Midway to LAX. You could also drive.

Walking is free.Seriously, there are four ways to go:Amtrak (train)AirplaneBus (greyhound, trailways, etc.)DriveDriving or taking a train costs more than taking a bus.Most flights cost more than a bus, but a few do not. The bus and train trips are each several days. If you have that much time, then there may be an inexpensive flight on one of the days that costs less than the bus.

walking, running, taking the bike there! but if u r talkin bout wth out usin much energy, probably bus or drivin car.by the way do u mind answerin a question, real quick (GO HERE IF INTERESTED)http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091115205924AAkzstG

Which hotels in NYC have early check-in time? -

I want to know which hotels in NYC have early check-in time. Most of hotels in NYC seem to have 3 p.m. check-in time, so I want hotels with check-in time earlier than that. Also, the hotels must be in NYC, not in NY state.

Well, very few hotels will have a check-in time earlier than that, but, if it s just a case of wanting to drop off your bags while you go get your sightseeing day started or go to a meeting or something, then just about any hotel will allow you to check your bags with them earlier, and then come back later to do the actual check-in itself.Good luck!

Virtually all of the hotels will have a 2-3pm check-in time. There is no way around that, but you can call ahead of your arrival and the hotel may be to accommodate you earlier. Also most nicer hotels will at least hold on to your luggage until your room is ready so you can drop it off and then start exploring the city.

You can request I mean REQUEST lol (I m a front desk agent sorry) an early check-in but it s rare before noon though. If the hotel says they have early check-in you can ask to pre check-in and when the room ready have to call you. Most hotels issue is that the room is just not ready before 3pm most of the time because of the business or maybe staff is behind. So before you make a reservation contact the hotel to see if they offer early check-in if they do fine if not well plan around, you will have plenty to do in NYC trust me.

Plaza Hotel is the best.

If you are looking for a nice night out in Atlanta, then here are my choices:Entertainment:-Georgia AquariumThey have the worlds largest viewing screen for their whaleshark tank (Very good ambiance).-Atlantic Station(Tons of Shopping, Dining, and entertainment options incl. a Bowling Alley and a Movie theater).-High Museum (Atlanta s Premiere Art Museum featuring many exhibits from renown artists, and housing a theater).-CNN Building/ Centenial Olympic Park.Make sure you get to the park before dark.-World of Coca-ColaVery interesting tour, very visual, and you get to drink all the coke products you can handle!-AMC Fork and Screen BuckheadThe only theater in ATL where waiters bring you gourmet meals as you enjoy your movie.-Lenox/Phipps PlazaHigh End shopping malls, great place to spot Celebs on the weekends.Dining:-Cheesecake FactoryA bit nicer than your average sit down, big portions and great food!-BricktopsReally nice restaurant with celebs coming and going, also check out Yogurberry across the street for dessert!-SundailRotating restaurant located atop the Westin hotel in downtown. Call before to make a reservation.-The PalmLegendary Dining and great cuisine make this a local and international favorite.-Fogo De ChaoA non stop meat frenzy to help get your carnivore on! It s pricey, but it s like a buffet...of steaks!-Rosa Mexicano/Copeland s Cheesecake Bistro/ California Pizza KitchenIn Atlantic station, these offer the best as far as taste goes (My opinion), but I hear Geisha House is good, as well as STRIP too.Dessert:-YogurberryFrozen yogurt and various toppings (very delicious, very healthy)-Cafe IntermezzoGenerous slices of baked cakes, plus amazing coffee menu, everything from hot chocolate to fruity drinks.-Cheesecake FactoryIt s in the name...-Cold Stone/ Kilwin s/Cheesecake BistroAll three are great dessert destinations in Atlantic stationHope this helps a little.

Do something different. Make-up a boxed dinner of almost any type...make up a small cooler with a nice bottle of wine, maybe a few beers or cocktails and hit the Starlight Drive-In on Moreland Ave. You can go see a great double feature, with current run movies and besides, when was the last time that you guys just made-out?They let you set-up a BBQ grill and cook-out if you want, but you have to finish your cooking by the time the movies start.
