What is the best option for me, driving to college(26 hrs) or flying to there? -

I leave to school in 2 weeks. I wanted the option of having a car to move around but since its a small town its not really necessary. I live in Houston, school is in Idaho. I ve never driven that far or in snow. Please help out with any ideas or thoughts.

It might be a little late in the game to get a reasonably-priced airplane ticket.As far as driving that far, it is a pretty seriously long way. You might consider doing it in two days rather than one. I used to go up and down the East Coast when I was in school several years ago. 15-16 hours in one day is a SERIOUS road trip. 26 hours could be done in one stretch if it were life or death, but for anything less than that, it s not a good idea.Truth is, the road trip will suck, but you ll be glad you have the car. It s not a bad way to make friends at school either. Hey, you need a ride to the grocery store for some chips and soda? Sure why not. And you want to bring your hot roommate along with us? Umm ... okay. :) Don t forget that a LOT more stuff fits in an automobile than in a suitcase.A long road trip is liberating too. It will make you really feel like you are moving on to a new life when going away to school. I say go for the car option. If you feel like it s a really long way, see if you can figure out a way to break it up as much as you are comfortable with. Know anybody between Texas and Idaho that will let you crash on a couch for a night? Give em a call. Nobody minds having a student couch surf for one night. Good luck!

Definitely fly it .Regardless of what your mapquest source claims you can t actually drive from Houston to ID in 26 hours In the real world you re looking at a 2.0 to 2.5 day drive

What is there to do on a day trip to Atlantic City? -

I m thinking about taking a bus trip to Atlantic City, New Jersey, but I m wondering what there is to do there. Can anyone recommend any sites, hotels, casinos, restaurants, etc that are worth seeing?

If you ve never been to AC, you might want to consider taking a jitney from the Boardwalk over to the Marina section. You can see the Borgata and Harrah s (two very nice properties). There s a pathway that runs between them, it s about a 15-20 minute walk along the water.What sort of restaurants do you like? The two casinos I listed have lots of food options, from buffets to gourmet steakhouses.

There are the outlets a few blocks inland from Bally s. There is shopping at the Pier at Caesars. There is the Absecon Lighthouse.By this point in the year, most of the boardwalk shops and restaurants have closed for the year. The casinos will be the primary attraction. I am partial to Caesars and Showboat, but all have their points.

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.

Parents working on my birthday... what to do? -

tomorrow is my birthday and my parents are working. they probably forgot. what is there to do in new york city on my own? im 13.

priority #1--make sure you have the money to get home.ding

Be happy that your family has jobs that they are able to go to.Some are not so fortunate.You could go to Lucky Strikes Lane (on West 42nd Street) alone or hangout with your friends as they allow under 21 there Monday to Friday until 5:30PM and Saturdays until 8:00PMhttp://411newyork.org/clubs/events/2008/��Nightclub for 13 to 20 (21 and older not allowed).http://411newyork.org/clubs/events/2009/��

The United States is in a recession. Be thankful your parents still have a job. I m sure they didn t forget you. When you become a parent you will understand that you don t forget your children s birthday. They are probably planning something for after they get home from work.

Be careful in NYC at age 13. Im sure your parents didnt forget about you. Living in NYC is quite expensive, they need to make money. Perhaps, they will surprise you in the evening.

FRIENDS NYC! 100 DOLLARS ANYTHING MORE I GOTTA I SAY!!!
