Hotels in Williamsburg, Virginia? -

I m going to go on a trip with my sister this summer to Williamsburg, VA. I m 18 and have a credit card. She s only 16. I m sure some hotels are iffy about younger people due to hooligans sometimes throwing parties with underage drinking/drugs and whatnot...So, what hotels will let me rent a room in Williamsburg?

Since you are under 21, your best bet is to contact condo / cabin owners directly to see if they will rent to you. Very few hotels or motels will accept under 21 visitors.Rather than give you a specific property name and location, I would suggest that you do some research on the available houses/condos, the prices and the locations. I have used justvr.com in the past and it was quite helpful for narrowing down my choices and booking a few nights stay.

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.

Does any1 know how to get to sheridan prison? -

i need to go see my hubby in prison but i don t have any way of getting there. does anybody know of any transportation company that goes to Sheridan prison address is 4017 E. 2603 RoadSheridan, Il 60551

Sheridan is really out in the middle of no where and with no real, viable public transportation options. The Amtrak suggestion to Plano gets you that far, but Plano and the surrounding towns are so small, there is no real cab service like in the city. You might consider Metra to Aurora, then taking a cab from Aurora, which would definitely be easier as more trains to Aurora plus the availability of more cabs. However that still leaves you with the issue of returning from Sheridan. Your best solution, if at all possible, would be to have a friend drive you there. Maybe offer them gas money and tell them it ll be a lovely drive out in the country.

Can you write to your husband and ask if any fellow prisoner s families live near you. You can only visit on Saturdays and Sundays, and he has to have been there at least 30 days before you can see him. Since this is the best prison in Illinois for preventing return incarceration, good luck to both of you. There is a phone number on the website.

AMTRAK will take you to Plano, IL. From there to Sheridan is about an 18 mile ride in a taxi:http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m lat=41.5731��AMTRAK goes to Plano once every day. The train leaves Union Station at 5:55 pm. so you ll probably have to stay overnight as visiting hours won t be convinient to that schedule:http://tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrakThere is no Greyhound service to anywhere near Sheridan.

This is a really tough question. I looked and looked online, but can not find an answer.The prison is about 70 miles outside of Chicago. There doesn t appear to be any bus service that far out.I looked at the prison web page and they don t have any hints about transportation.Their phone number is on their page, maybe you could call and ask for advice:http://www.idoc.state.il.us/subsections/��Sorry I can t figure it out. Good luck to you and your family. :-)

What do you suggest for backpacking all the major cities/sights of the USA? -

I m 24 years old, and live in Washington State. This summer I am going to embark on a backpacking adventure throughout the entire country. I want to see San Francisco, LA, The Grand Canyon, Houston, New Orleans, Memphis, Atlanta, Miami, Savannah, Philadelphia, NYC, Toronto, Chicago, Denver, and as many other major cities and sights as possible. My main mode of transportation will be through an Amtrack train pass... But I m willing to use any other form of cheap transportation as well. I will be roughing it this entire trip... with little supplies and couch surfing as I go. I m interested in exploring America s diversity and experiencing everything it has to offer. I am interested in any tips anyone might have.......... Also I am having trouble figuring out an efficient itinerary. The Amtrack routes make it very difficult to see the US without repeatedly backtracking......... any helpful hints, tips, and advice for my trip is openly welcomed..................... Thank you all for your time.......................

I d check out a few Greyhounds and some colleges to see if any student is driving that way. Amtrak is rough.Well let s see...go down coastal california. Go to Vegas from there. Day trip to the Grand Canyon--they have loads of those. Then desert through. Might be a good idea to look at hopping a flight from Phoenix to Houston or Dallas. That s a long long drive with very little to stop at. Without a car, those cities in Texas are difficult to get around in. What is it you are hoping to see? If it were me, I d probably fly AZ or NM straight into Florida. Enter the south. Florida is not very wide. They also have lots of places that do bus trips for you. My friends live in Tampa and they ve done day trips down to Key West. Come back up to Savannah and Atlanta. Go to Charlotte straight up 85. You can go to Carowinds which is a really cool amusement park. From Charlotte you are real close to the mountains so I d say go up to Jonson City TN if you can get there and take a white water rafting trip. If not, Charlotte is home to the white water rafting center. I d take in a baseball game--Orioles are cheap. That s real close to DC and there are lots of trains DC to Phily and to New York. I ve riden the Chinatown to Chinatown bus. Takes you from Chinatown Phily to Chinatown NYC. It s cheap and fairly comfortable.From there, I d have to see where in New England Amtrak can take you. It would be cool to see some nature--Vermont or Maine. Then Toronto...I think I d knock out Canada b/c that didn t seem to yield many options. You d have to go back to NYC pretty much. I d look at flying out of hte Northeast again back out west. Perhaps Denver or somewhere in that area based on flight prices. So let s see...Starlight to LA. Pacific Surf to Vegas. Fly to Houston or New Orleans. Just find a stop near there (AZ, NM, NV that is a cheap flight to somewhere in TX). New Orleans to Miami on Crescent, Silver Star. Silver Meteor to Charleston. Greyhound a bus to Charlotte. Charlotte to DC, Phily and NYC on the Carolinian. Maple Leaf to Toronto and then to Chicago. Zephyr to Denver and on to Salt Lake City. From there I d look at a Greyhound b/c you d want to see some of the National Parks that Amtrak has to avoid.The only backtracking is if you go north of New York, you d have to come back to NY to depart. From Denver or Salt Lake, find some way to Yellowstone. If you can then get back up to West Glacier, you can Empire Builder back to Seattle.That does leave off Memphis and Atlanta but the backtracking there....I think if you want to do those you should look into an alternate. You could Greyhound from Charleston to Atlanta. Then ride that route up to Charlotte. Then only Memphis would be a big decision maker for ya. If there is anything out west you want to see though you d have to get off Amtrak.Definitely look at some college towns for some ride boards. I know we had one all the time. Students offering rides. The few hostels we have in the US do day trips on buses to places too.Good luck with the trip though.

Because You Are The Ships Captian

Well, Coast Starlight will get you to most of the big cities in California, Sacramento, Bay Area, and Los Angeles. From LA, I d take the Southwest Chief (gets you close to the Grand Canyon) to Albuquerque, NM and transfer via Amtrak bus to Sunset Limited in El Paso. That takes you through San Antonio, Houston, and New Orleans. Amtrak lies, you can t get to Florida on that train. The tracks are still washed out from Hurricane Katrina. It s gonna be hard to get to Miami without backtracking. You could take the Crescent from New Orleans up through Birmingham and Atlanta and then maybe catch a Greyhound bus from Atlanta to Savannah where you can head south to Miami on the Silver Meteor and then back up the Silver Meteor all the way to Washington DC, Philly, and New York. From New York you can get trains all over the Northeast. You can get the Maple Leaf up to Niagra Falls and Toronto and then Lakeshore Limited to Chicago. And then from the windy city, take the California Zephyr through Denver and Salt Lake City. There you could either head all the way back to Sacramento on the train and head back up on the Coast Starlight or take an Amtrak bus from Salt Lake to Portland. It makes a big circle and I think it hits just about everything on your list. Only backtracking is really to see Florida.
