What is most Fun place to visit in Sacramento CA? -

rides, foods, etc?

As you may have noticed from the first answer give, all of the best things about Sacramento, take place 1 or more hours away! haha. I grew up 50 minutes from Sac and lived there pretty much my whole life. I absolutely love the area, but Sacramento, well... it sucks. haha. In fact, so much so, I never used Sacramento as a way of describing the general area in which I lived because it s so unrepresentative of much of it s surroundings in the foothills. Sacramento is a big city that is extremely spread out. Most of the buildings are from like the 50 s and on and have no character. The actual downtown part is nice, but there is little reason to go there and it s very small. Old Town Sac is also pretty cool, but it s extremely touristy. If you can, I definitely recommend driving a couple of hours and going somewhere else for a day or so. Of course it depends on what you re looking for. If you re looking for nightlife, I d just drive to SF.If you re looking for shopping, then you don t have to go too far. There are several malls, but I d recommend driving up to Roseville and going to the Galleria. It s only 10-15 minutes north/east and has a lot of stores. Not to mention the general area around the mall has a lot of plaza s and higher end stores. It s also newer, so it s clean and there are a lot of restaurants in a small area.If you re active, definitely go to Tahoe. There are about 15 different downhill resorts around the lake and the surrounding area, most of which are actually good, each for their own reasons. And there are a few cross country places as well, but I ve never been into cross country so I m not familiar with them. Not to mention, Lake Tahoe is beautiful and something to be seen if you haven t seen it.If you re into seeing small old towns, there are quite a few. And by old towns, I mean old western towns. Most of them are pretty touristy of course.As the first person mentioned, if you want rides, you re going to have to head to the bay area for Great America or Six Flags. Though I m not sure about when they are open this time of the year.There are so many great things to do in Northern California, and so many beautiful places to see. But Sacramento isn t really one of them.

This time of year Sacramento can get kind of dull.The weather is not very conducive for outdoor type activities. Unless of course you are into winter sports. Then in that case some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world is less than two hours away.In the spring and summer things start to heat up, in more ways than one.A popular activity is to raft down the American River. It is great fun and they have been working hard the last few years to make it a more family friendly activity.If rides are your thing Discovery Kingdom down in Vallejo is a Six Flags property and is best enjoyed in warmer weather. They have animals and rides.Also Paramount s Great America is in Santa Clara a two hour or so drive good rides there.Another activity I and many of my friends enjoy are the fairs, there are many county fairs within in an hour or less drive from Sacramento, and you get it all there rides and great fair food.If you have not burned out on fairs by the end of summer, then the last three weeks of August is the California State Fair. It is huge. The biggest midway west of the Mississippi.Have fun

Old Sac is great fun.There is even a hotel in it!!

My husband and I went to the Old Sac area. It s like an old western boardwalk. We had a blast.

Im desperate here! I need a way to get my two guinea pigs from Sacramento, CA to Fayetteville, NC.? -

I moved across the country last October, and I would highly prefer air travel, but with all the research I ve done, there aren t any guinea pig friendly airlines that wouldn t just stick them in cargo (TOTALLY unsafe!). They ve been at a friend s for 2 months now, and I just hate to keep my friend responsible for them. I miss them so much and just want them home with me, can ANYONE help me out? :(

I have the perfect answer for you. Go to www.Uship.com and post your request for a driver to transport your guinea pigs and people will bid on the job like Ebay. It will explain how you do that. You can also look up drivers who transport animals and who are going that way on compatible dates. Your listing will include details about the route and how much you are willing to pay. It is a reliable way to get the right person because each driver has information and feedback about themselves like Ebay. It is legitimate. I have move furniture across states that way.

My best suggestion would be to use a company called Pet Air. They ve been in business 33 years and serve your local airport. Your friend would just simply have to take you little guinea pigs to the Sacramento(SMF) airport. You can make a reservation online. I am really not sure what the rates are but here s a link to their website: http://www.flypets.com/default.asp Their phone number is: 816-471-3852Good luck!

If the cost to transport them is worthwhile for you then I would fly them for the fastest method of transportation. Kalita Air transports horses, maybe they will fly your guinea pigs.

wear a big coat and stick em in your pockets. Once you re on the plane, it doesn t matter if they squeak because it s so loud no one notices. There s plenty of ways you can sneak them in.

you could drive, or you could go to a vet and ask what to do. they have probably have the answers!! i reallllly hope it works (:

you can buy special little motorbikes now, but they would have to get a licence i expect

i ll take two tickets for the guinea pig express, please!hope this helps.

Hide em in your doop shoot.

call a local animal control shelter and get advice! they will know how to d othis

Whats the weather like in LA at night, in late december/early january? -

All parts of California does have a Winter season. It s not warm all the time like some people want to believe. Over night temperatures in the Los Angeles area can be chilly (to us) and often in the high 30 s to mid 40 s. It is also part of our rainy season, and rain is predicted for most of next week. Near the beaches is can be foggy, and damp. Our weather patterns come down from Alaska. The neighboring valleys and high desert can get into the 20 s, Palmdale / Lancaster was 27 last night. The local mountains can get into the teens on occasion, Big Bear was 17 last night.

it falls somewhere between cold and freaking cold! 50-60If you re from a place where it gets freezing cold then you ll laugh at our cold weather. If you re used to warm weather then you ll think it gets really freaking cold.

its pretty cold. 50-60? but there s definitely colder places. Pants, a warm jacket, fuzzy ugg type boots, a scarf, some gloves, and maybe a hat would keep you pretty cozy i think.answer mine? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?��

40 s and 50 s. NOT freezing, which is below 32. People from LA are so thin-blooded.

we re having an el nino this year which means lots and lots and lots of rain.first round starts sunday night.only nice thing about rain in los angeles --- Its warmer than a cloudless night here.

it s chilly, but nowhere near as cold as other parts of the country, you need to remember that we consider 65 degrees F cold!

Freezing but no snow.

be prepared for rain...

How to get to berkely using BART? -

does anyone know how you would get from pleasant hill CA to Berkely Ca (the station nearest UC Berkely? Stanley hall to more exact) and which BART train to take , and if transfers are nescessary. Im new to BART , so if you y ou please explain. All answers are greatly appreciated

You get on the Bart at Pleasant Hill Get on any of them that are headed towards the following places:1. 24th Street Mission2. San Francisco Airport3. MillbraeThey are all headed in the same direction, but one might say 24th street mission at one time of the day, another might say San Francisco Airport or Millbrae at another time of day. It doesnt matter what it says, as long as it says any of those 3. They are all going in the direction you want. Do not get on any trains that say something other than those 3. You only want to get on one of those 3 trains.All 3 of those lines will bring you to the MacArthur station. Get off at that station. Dont ride the train the whole way to Millbrae or 24th or the Airport. Get off at MacArthur so you can get on another Bart train. Get on the Bart Train that says Richmond . Dont ride it all the way to Richmond, get off at the Downtown Berkeley stop.

From Pleasant Hill, take any train going to San Francisco. Get off at Macarthur. Take Richmond train. Get off at Berkeley station. Leave BART and walk up hill to campus.Or, Take any train going to San Francisco. Get off at Rockridge. Take northbound 51 bus to campus.Questions like this can easily be answered for you at www.511.org.

Look at the BART map. Each color represents a line. Since Pleasant Hill and Downtown Berkeley are not on the same line, you will have to transfer at MacArthur. The trains are identified by the last stop on the line. For example, the train going to Millbrae will say Millbrae on the front.

Whats the best area in Orlando, FL to live in? -

.... we re a family of 5 planning to relocate to Orlando FL once financially we are able to ... target being no later then 2 years from now. What area in Orlando contains decent schools is an easy commute to schools, hospitals, etc?

Seminole County.Very family oriented, low crime, one of the top school districts in the state, nice suburban neighborhoods. Lots of waterways and lakes, parks and nature trails. Known for High Tech and Finance jobs. More diverse economy. Job market rough now though.Areas to check out:Forest CityAltamonte SpringsCasselberryOviedo Winter SpringsLake MaryHeathrowSanford

It of course depends on your price point. There are lots of shady areas.1) avoid Pine Hills (or as we say Crime Hills) (which is west of I4 up to SilverStar Road, ish)2) avoid MetroWest and the Kirkman area3) avoid living too close to Disney---lots of traffic, poor schools.4)I personally would recommend the Waterford Lakes area, the new up and coming Lake Nona area, and Lake MaryLake Nona is where our new medical center will be at. Not sure when it s supposed to be completed, but currently there are lots of properties out there for sale, since the economy changed when they started construction. I would go to the city s webpages to get specific stats and ratings on schools and crime. Good Luck!

Clermont, but that s not in Orlando, it s near it. However, I don t particularly recommend the Orlando area and moved away from it in July after 5 years.Orlando is #6 on Forbes list of the Most Dangerous US cities based on violent crime statistics. Unemployment is high. It s overpriced for it s worth, and newcomers are a dime a dozen...that s why the foreclosure rate is so high.

Dr Phillips and the Hunter s Creek area are 2 good places to live. Both are close to highways and attractions, shopping , hospitals etc and have great schools. Both are relatively safe and a good place to raise a family.

Windermere, Winter Garden, Clermont, Winter Park, and Lake Mary are all good areas with good schools. They are all very different so you need to check them out to see what you like best.Just know that the job market is awful in Orlando.
