Best route from Raleigh to Pittsburgh? -

I m traveling from Raleigh to Pittsburgh on Friday. I m leaving at noon, which means if I go through Washington DC, I d reach the beltway around 4:00. Should I do this or am I going to get stuck in rush hour traffic? Should I take I-64W to I-81N to avoid DC, or is there a better way?I d prefer not to take I-40W to I-77N to I-79N. I take I-77 to Ohio all the time and I need a change of scenery.

One small trick in your usual route.When on I-77, take US 19N just north of Beckley and you ll connect with I-79 just south of Sutton. It s a nice drive, you go over the New River Gorge bridge, and it cuts a lot of time out of your drive if you were going to go to Charleston and up.If you re still looking for a change of pace, take US 19N from Morgantown into Pittsburgh.If that s not enough change of pace for you, how about going up to Richmond (I-85) and take I-64 across to Beckley (then do the US 19N trick).

i live in raleigh made that drive to ohio many times i would definitely avoid DC at 4 oclock my brother lives there now and thats just the start of rush hour and it will just be stop and go for a couple hours

64 to 81 is much better.

How many hours does it take to get from america to morocco by airplane? -

From New York to Casablanca on Royal Air Maroc is about 8.5 hours for the flight. If you travel with other airlines it will usually take longer.

You would have to know where in America to calculate this It can take more than 3 hours to fly from one coast to the other.Also, there is more America than just the United States oF America.You can go to any airlines website and calculate flying time fromone city to another.

Depends on where you are leaving from and where you are heading to.

Are these nyc high schools good? please help..10 pts? -

do i need to give interviews for any of them

First of all, don t let people confuse Manhattan Hunter Science High School with Hunter College High School. The first one (the one on your list) is a fairly mediocre school. The second is an outstanding school, but you must apply in 6th grade (it goes from 7th to 12th grade, unlike most high schools in NYC.)The only school on your list that I think a lot of is Beacon. I ve heard some good things about Environmental Sciences, but honestly, it doesn t appeal to me.What are your interests? Have you toured any of these schools? Did you score well enough to get into a screened program (like Beacon)? You should check out a website called insideschools.org There you will find information on how to select a high school and great reviews of high schools. (This site is run by a not-for-profit agency, btw.Good luck.

How much are lift tickets around Lake Tahoe? -

For some reason, I cannot find a straight answer online.

Completely depends on the resort, whether it is holiday weekend, and how old you are. Most resorts crank up the prices around New Years, Martin Luther King Day, and Presidents Day. Most also offer 4 age categories: Kids, Teens, Adult, and Seniors. Assuming you are an adult, a single day ticket is going to run you $60-$80 depending on the above factors. If you buy multi-day tickets, the price per day goes down. For example, at Sierra-at-Tahoe, a single day is $69 and 3 day pass is $135 (or $45 per day). At any rate, you can buy tickets online from the resorts or sometimes you can get discounted tickets at grocery stores or Costco. These are the bigger and nicer resorts. There are some other small ones that are cheaper, but they are a waste of time IMO.Sierra-at-Tahoe http://www.sierraattahoe.com/info/winter��Heavenly http://www.skiheavenly.com/plan-your-tri��Sugar Bowl http://www.sugarbowl.com/ticketsSquaw Valley http://www.squaw.com/lift-ticket-ratesNorthstar http://www.northstarattahoe.com/info/ski��Alpine Meadows http://www.skialpine.com/ski-tickets/lif��
