What is the closest border enterance from mexico to texas near Houston? -

Well, I would ask you first where are you going in Mexico?I will say Laredo too, BUT BEWARE, last year s holiday crossing (From Laredo-Nuevo Laredo) was a nightmare, it took me 6 Hr and some people told me it took them 12 Hr to cross back.If you have a good smart Phone, I suggest you monitor Laredo Bridges cameras. If traveling through Monterrey you can either cross in McAllen or if coming from San Antonio on I35 you may try the Colombia Bridge . These 2 crossing are a longer drive, but it may take you less time in the long run.Also apply for your Car s Permit on the Internet, trying to get it at Laredo can add at least 3 more Hr to your trip.Good Luck and Merry Christmas

Nuevo Laredo, which is why there s so much La Migra activity during the holidays. It is the busiest, closest route to Houston. Brownsville is a close second. San Antonio also has Nuevo Laredo.

Normally Nuevo Laredo, but during the holiday, i recommend crossing at the Colombia bridge, just take the camino colombia toll road.

Why Hawaii and Alaska????????? -

Why did Alaska and Hawaii become states and not the other territories we gained during that time such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippians?

A majority of the citizens wanted statehood.

With an estimated population of 92 million, the Phillipines would be the largest US state. Something the other states wouldn t have been too keen with. Not to mention that it wasn t as wealthy as the other states.Guam only has 178,000 people less than half of Wyoming, the least populated state. So not really big enough to be a state. Same goes for USVI with only 104,000 people and Northern Mariana Islands with only 86,000.Puerto Rico is an odd case. If it became a state, it would have to swith from Spanish to English as Texas did when it became a state. Puerto Rico taxes are different from the states since it s a commonwealth. And the Puerto Rican government really doesn t want to give that up.

Can 12 years and 8 years old stay home alone for 4/5 hours in state ga? -

she is 12 hi is 8 can the stay home after school for 4/5 hours alone to when parent cam back from work in marietta ga zip 30008

im in mcdonough and im not really sure its legal, however people allow their children to come home from school by themselves all the time . I wouldn t worry so much about it being legal as i would a few small facts such as is my 12 year old responsible enough to handle watching the 8 year old,and is there a neighbor they can contact just in case of an emergency,if so i would set some stern ground rules like no cooking ,locking door as soon as they enter,no company,phone call or text to you letting you know they arrived, then i just wouldn t tell everyone that i encountered that i was doing this.

I don t really know; i think it is legal in all of the United States to be home in 13. but not for such a long of a time. But, hell i been staying home since I was around 8, and i was always the oldest. All your son has to know is to not make dumb moves, and like be stupid and go outside and do whatever he wants, and take care of his sister/brother.

I m here in ny, but Im not sure there s a law, i always liked to stay home by myself ever since i was nine.

Ski areas in colorado?????? -

well, seeing as vail is apparently too big to see in just one day, and i only have one extra day to visit a ski area in colorado on my trip this february, what ski area do you think would come after vail, as far as outdoor activities, skiing, views, and just overall popularity of the place. whats the 2nd most popular place to go besides vail?

Well that s a hard question... Aspen might be the all time most popular, but it s really just about the name in my opinion. I must admit, I can t tell you as much about that town other than it s pretty extravagant and over-the-top. I think Copper Mountain is my favorite as far as quality of skiing, views, and friendliness of the people goes! They ve got other activities there too. Next on the list is Breckenridge. There are plenty of people who would reccomend Breckenridge over Copper anyday. That one is a town that s worked hard to improve the overall resort-experience (Which sounds like you re into.) Both Breck Copper are pretty close to Vail too. Telluride is also really sweet but pretty far away from Denver and other ski towns so it s probably not worth traveling so far if you have such a limited amount of time.

What is the weather like in Clearwater Beach in December? -

My husband and I are planning on going to Clearwater beach for a few days in mid December. We have never been there in the winter. What is the weather usually like? I don t really care about getting in the water, but would like to lay on the beach. Is it usually warm enough?

I was there in November one year and I was freezing! There maybe days that it s warmer...
