Is club Paris in Jacksonville FL still open? -

I m goin back to jax for the first time in a couple of years and wanted to go to one of my old hangouts but I heard from someone that it wasn t open anymore, is this true?

Yeah i think so. i just think its not as popular as ocean club now

Do texas still have prison rodeo ? -

i dont rerember they got prison rodeos still

No. They stopped doing that back in the 80 shttp://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/onlin��

The last prison rodeo in Huntsville, Texas was in October 1986.I went to a few back in 1980 and 1981 (I was dating a girl who went to Sam Houston State U). It was a bit surreal but I wound up enjoying myself. I had to ask her, So you go to school here, right near a prison? Weird.

No the closest place I know of is Angola in Louisiana. They had there s for 2009 already and it was sold out

Im going to San Fransisco what should we do? -

So me and some of my friends, are taking bart there, and im not sure what we should do? Also haight street. What is it? and what is there to do there? Thanks (:

Haight street is just that a street. It has shops, restaurants and bars. It is gritty and there will be lots of people out on the street. Most of the other posters have given you the tourist low down. But without knowing what interests you it is nigh on impossible to give you any suggestions.

Silvermist covered about everything. I also want to include a ride on a cable car, driving across the Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, driving down Lombard Street (also known as the crookedest street in the world), The Cable Car Museum, and Golden Gate Park (the S.F. Botanical Gardens and Buffalo Paddock are very nice places to visit in the park). In addition, if you go to Chinatown, which I highly recommend, visit the Fortune Cookie Factory. They have a very interesting and fun tour and you ll get some fortune cookies.

*_~ So glad that you re considering San Francisco for your vacation.Try to stay in Union Square. http://www.unionsquareshop.com/ When you arrive at the airport, take the SFO air train that goes around the airport, then you��ll get off when you see Bart, take Bart to Powell Station (should be about $6-9 and it takes 20 mins ) that��s Union Square. http://www.bart.gov/ for schedule..I just love the weather and the diverse culture here!! Traffic can be hectic but still bearable. Public transport is great! You can always take Bart, ferries, bus, taxi or cable car etc. However, if you don��t have much time or want to travel beyond the city �C I think a car would help a lot. Yes, you have to pay for parking, but save you time to go more places faster.. Try the ��City Sightseeing Open Top Bus Tour�� which is about $30. ��This unique open-topped bus tour of San Francisco includes four different routes, the Downtown Loop, the Golden Gate Loop, the Park Loop, and the Night Loop.�� You re free to hop on and off as often as you want on the downtown loop.Embarcadero is wicked nice, and it s not THAT far, so you could really just walk down it to the Ferry Building. http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/ On Saturdays they do a nice farmer s market and you can get lots of good stuff. Walk down to Pier 39.GET THE San Franciso POPOUT Maps�� I loves these POPOUT map- you get to see where you are- =) No Thinking required, especially on vacation. (Look at the pictures.)I have about 20 of these map of different cities.. It was so useful when I was in Europe!

Visit Chinatown and Fisherman s Wharf.See the Golden Gate BridgeRide a Cable CarThere is nothing on Haight St. but some broken down old hippies.

Haight and Ashbury these are streets. I suggest you eat lots and lots of Rice A Roni.

I need to find a hotel in the LA area, that has reasonably priced 2 room quot;suitesquot;? -

We are staying 4 in a room that why we want the extra space. We also need 2 beds (no sofa bed) and we are looking to spend no more than 125 a night. We are going to LA, west hollywood, and anaheim. so anywhere around there would be awesome, oh the beach never hurt anyone either :)

An average 1-room hotel in a decent area runs about $125 per night during the summer season, so it really depends on when you are going. You might be able to find a suite in that range during the off-season, but figure the price to be double in the summer.In Anaheim, I would start by looking at the Howard Johnson. You can also try the Hyatt Regency Anaheim (Garden Grove, actually), or the Desert Palms. Just go to Travelocity.com and look for hotels in the areas that you mentioned. I prefer Anaheim because the prices are more competitive.

http://www.palosverdesinn.com/This is the place I recommend to my friends that are coming to LA who are looking for something cheap like you are. You re not gonna get a suite anywhere for what you want to pay but you could get additional regular rooms and spend the same amount if you stay at the Palos Verdes Inn. It s in a good area (Redondo Beach). You can walk to the beach, it s a five minute drive from the largest mall in L.A. (Del Amo), there are tons of restaurants and bars nearby (walking distance), the rooms are decent, they have an ocean view (on the upper floors) and it s centrally located between Anaheim and West Hollywood. They also run packages on and off that are good like buy 2 nights, get the 3rd night free and that sort of stuff.

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.

to tell you the truth go get a hotel room in anaheim and if you can drive a lil farther get a room in corona or norco lot cheaper just look around your just 20 mins away from anaheim from these cities

nobody listens to me But Go to the auto club (AAA) and get their brochure on hotels/motels in the Los Angeles area.. Not only does it give the prices but gives ratings and reviews.

Where should we go for dinner on Christmas Eve? -

My friend and I are going to New York for the holidays. On December 24th, we d like to have dinner at a nice and not-too-expensive restaurant with a nice holiday atmosphere.Any suggestions?Thank you for your time.

Try the Old Homestead or the Hideaway on 34th st.Good luck.

Is it possib if my parents would buy a hotel room over the phone and then I go check in (Im 17) I just need? -

Can I have my parent call a hotel on her credit card and I go to the hotel and use the room for that night?

Nope, you have to be 18 and over (21 at some hotels) in order to check-in to a hotel in NYC. This means your parents will have to check you in.Good luck

New town? New place? /: Help!!!!!!? -

So I just moved to Washington.. I ve lived in Texas since I was little so that is where I m comfortable.. I m a freshman.. and I start school Tuesday.. I m terrified! Any tips on making my first few days easier? :(

Don t feel terrified at all. It will all become normal in a few weeks. Think of it as an adventure, you get to see how it s like living in Washington. Many people move each day, some from Texas to Florida, others from Florida to Illinois, Others from Illinois to Washington. It happens always. Many people wish to move. Think of yourself lucky, you get to have large mountains nearby to visit, and hopefully snow close by. A typical Floridian would love to live in Washington, that s where they all travel for vacation. The same is vice-versa with all places. Just go to school with like you did in Texas and it will be all fine. Instead of thinking about worries, think about what good view you may find out of your classroom window. Good Luck

Be yourself and you will be just fine. You will make friends within a few days. You will adapt just fine
