Where should i go for my senior trip with my family? -

I m going to be graduating this year. Whenever someone graduates in our family, you get to pick somewhere to go on a vacation. I want to go someplace warm, thats all i know. Any suggestions on where to go?

You should try Jamacia. I heard it was REALLY nice there. Or Spain, Paris

Any nice nature or forest near NYC? -

if you know please tell me where can I find a nice and undisturbed (by people) nature near New York city? preferably a forest? don t mention any parks, I don t like them because there are to many people around and not enough nature, I just wanna something where I can take a long hike in forest and just get out of everything...maximum 100miles distance from the city. Thank you

High Point State Park, on the Kitatinny ridge, Sussex county, NJ., monument marks the highest point in NJ, from where you can see NY/NY/Pa. (take binocs), depending on visibilty, the Catskills. Trees galore (although bare this time of year), dense forest, trails, including the Appalachian that for the most part, follows the ridge and also goes through-Stokes State Forest, Sussex county, NJ, not far from High Point. County Route 647 seperates both. Dense forest. Both not overrrun by people, and are relatively remote; however once it snows, the parks close to vehicular traffic due to the high elevation.Suggestion: Don t hike alone. Not to scare you, but it s bear country, although now they re going into hibernation. If you do decide to hike alone, take a whistle and if you see a bear, back away very slowly and blow your whistle-they re usually harmless and run from noise.Both about 1 1/2 hrs. out of NYC - depending on traffic.Good luck.

Bear Mountain is beautiful and is only 50 miles upstate from NYC. It s part of the Appalachian trail. You should definitely check out some legs of this trail, it s not far from the city.I d recommend driving up to the Catskill Mountains or to the Poconos, only 1.5 hours away. Lots of trails over there. This website has a comprehensive list of hiking in the Hudson Valley, all within a 1-2 hour drive away from the cityhttp://bearsystems.com/hiking/hiking.htm��

half an hour north of the city and a turn onto the old roads and there is plenty of woodland. Contact the NY state tourism office with your question and maps and answers will be forthcoming.

Yeah, it s called Central Park. Just watch for the wild animals and a few crazies when it starts to get dark.

What is all of the condos/Hotels in Panama City Beach that I can stay at if I am only 21? -

what is all of the condos/Hotels in Panama City Beach that I can stay at if I am only 21?

21 being the legal drinking age should allow you to involve yourself with any one of them....

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

At 21 you should be able to stay at any hotel.

How can I go from SF Airport to San Luis Obispo on the 2nd of January (my plane lands at 4:20pm)? -

Hello, I d like to go from San Francisco Airport to San Luis Obispo (CA) on the 2nd or 3rd of January. My plane lands at 4:20pm. Do you know if I could make it without sleeping in San Francisco ? (I was thinking about taking the Amtrak Train, but I realized that there is no Amtrak Station in San Francisco...)

There s also Greyhound, which has a limited bus stop in SLO. (San Francisco, Oakland, Hayward, San Jose, etc.) Leaves SF at 10:15 pm, no changes. 6.5 hours from SF. That s enough time to get to SF from the airport, find the station, have a nice dinner, and catch the bus.

You can take BART to the Millbrae station ; Take Caltrain to the San Jose station; Transfer to Amtrak train and/or bus to San Luis Obispo. Since it s a weekend you might consider changing your flight if at all possible. Other wise you ll be waiting in San Jose for hours on end, as the next, and last bus, leave from the San jose station at 11:59pm; arriving San Luis Obispo at 3:55am. You may consider staying the night in San Jose. It is possible, but easier if you coordinate you flight time. I don t know your where your coming from or what airlines are available to you, but maybe flights to San Jose or Oakland might open up some doors.Good luck

You can take BART from SFO to the Richmond station, which is a combined BART and Amtrak station. There, you can connect to a train.I m looking at the Amtrak website, and it looks like you would have to take Amtrak to another station in the South Bay, then take an Amtrak bus to SLO. The latest trip would leave Richmond at 8:35 (you should be able to make that) and arrives in SLO at 3:55 AM.If you could stay the night somewhere, and somehow get to San Jose, you could take the Coast Starlight train directly from San Jose to SLO, starting at 10:07 AM and arriving at 3:07 PM. You can take Caltrain from somewhere near the airport to San Jose the night before, and stay at a hotel near the train station. It looks like you can take BART from SFO to the Milbrae station, which is also a Caltrain station. If I were you this is what I would do.

you best bet is either to fly or drive. Bart to SLO takes a long time. It is about a 4 hour drive from San Francisco to SLO via highway 101 south.Flying is horrendously expensive as SLO has a very tiny airport. Will run anywhere from $250 - 700 one way.As far as Amtrak, the only one that goes that way is the coast starlight. YOu are going to need to take bart to either the San Francisco Embarcadero to get to the Ferry Building or over to Oakland, Coliseum. There is no real direct route in the evenings from the bay area to SLO. That said, the train is a minimum of 7 - 9 hours depending on how you go.

The Amtrak website shows nine links in San Francisco - some of them appear to be bus links to the main station. Check that website again.You could also rent a car, but going south on the PCH isn t for the faint-of-heart and going down on I-5 would miss all that beautiful scenery!

Get a connecting flight to SLO or whatever the nearest airport is. If you try to go any other way it will take hours to get to SLO except a rental car from San Jose airport.
