Orlando Florida 23rd birthday??? Where to go? -

I m turning 23 next month and I live in Orlando, fl. Any ideas on where to do? I want to go somewhere that I can invite my friends to come with me and have some drinks and some fun. Nothing fancy and nothing expensive. I went to HOwl at the Moon last year. Dont really want to go bar/club hopping downtown. Any ideas?

Universal City Walk. Pick a spot and stay there.http://www.universalorlando.com/Overview��

Tatame in Winter Park is a cool tea and sake lounge. Maybe Kobe s for dinner and then drinks at Tatame?

When has Kyle Chandler his birthday? -

when in what date?

This is not a travel question. Why not just ask him when his birthday is?

this question doesnt make anyt sense

I am gonna be there from 8th to 18th Dec. Where should I be on Sat and Sund ? Disney/Universal/Kennedy/Tampa ? -

I mean which would be too crowded on saturdays and sundays and which would be OK ?

Disney is most crowded on the weekend, but Sunday should be ok. If you can, you should go during the week because it s very spacious and hardly anyone is there. There s no lines for anything either. Universal is also really really crowded on the weekend. Tampa or Kennedy sounds good if you dont want a big crowd, but Disney might not be too bad.

FYI- if you want to go to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, it closes at 7pm for the Mickey s Very Merry Christmas Party. It is a separate ticketed event, but it s like Disney on steroids! All the best rides are open and they have free cookies and hot chocolate. They also have special fireworks and parades.If you buy the ticket online right now, it s $52 per person. PLUS, you may enter as early as 4pm!!! It goes on until midnight! It s a really good deal!I ll actually be there on that day!

If you go to tripadvisor.com a free site, type Orlando into the search box and find the travel forum, someone will direct you to the site that has the crowd level projections for each of the days you are there. Good luck.

Wedding spots in San Francisco? -

Is there any places in San Francisco or Sausaltio where you could have a outdoor wedding overlooking the Ocean or the Golden gate or the entire city?Like that Mt.Tamalpais state park are you allowed to have weddings there?

Both State and City parks can be used for weddings. There is a fee of course but your money supports the parks so it is money well spent.You may want to explore the option of Lincoln Park in SF amazing views of the Ocean, bay and GG bridge.

I love this place. You re high on a hill. From one side you see the Golden Gate Bridge, from the other the Pacific Ocean (through the trees):http://www.herecomestheguide.com/locatio��

Hotels in los angeles? -

So I m going to la in a week to visit USC and UCLA and I m not too familiar with where these schools are located in LA, but I found a few hotels and I was just wondering which areas you think would be closest to either of these schools? Thanks.Radisson at LAX, LA Westside, Whittier, or Buena ParkHoliday Inn in Torrance, Rosiemiead, or La Mirada

Jen, UCLA has a few guest houses and apartments for visitors....Call UCLA and see if you can get one.You will want to stay near UCLA, not USC (ghettoish). If you can t get a guest house ask them what a good place to stay would be....maybe there is some little thing in Westwood (the UCLA neighborhood)..

As already mentioned, using Google maps (or Yahoo Maps) will help a lot. Buena Park is in Orange County, too far unless you want to go to Knott s. If you stay there, you ll get a great look at infamous LA traffic. Whittier, Torrance, Rosemead, and La Mirada are also pretty far away. Your best choice among those would be the Radisson LA Westside. I hate to recommend any hotel around LAX, since there s nothing there but hotels, fast food, and strip clubs. One very nice option is to stay at the UCLA Guest House:http://www.photonics.ucla.edu/_direction��Once you use Google maps, you ll see that UCLA is on the west side, and USC is close to downtown. The neighborhood around UCLA is nicer, but I would have to say that USC is more prestigious.

You would be better served to stay closer to UCLA as Paris suggested. It s a MUCH better section of town. UCLA is a state sponsored school located in the Westwood area. It s a few miles north of LAX, and not far from the coast.USC is a private school located slightly southwest of the downtown section of Los Angeles, and while the campus is relatively safe some of the areas nearby are not.

None of those areas are anywhere near either USC and most definitely many miles from UCLA. If you want to stay at the Radisson at LAX that would be an accessible choice for both schools by freeway or major boulevards but still not close to either. If you are going to visit USC, the immediate neighborhood is not too good. However, the immediate around UCLA is very nice.I recommend staying near Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles to be in between the two schools but still a long, long drive.

Rather than giving you a long detailed answer, please use the Google Maps feature - you can just put in usc or ucla or wherever you wan to see where they are located in reference to the schools :]

Go to maps and get UCLA up then ask for hotels near UCLA, then USC and ask for hotels. Pick in between. Guest rooms is a good idea too, ask the answer is no unless you ask.

the hotels on westside would be close to UCLAand downtown is closer to USCall the other hotels you menations are miles from those universities

if you re going to check out the schools I wouldn t spend a lot of money. google a motel 6, super 8 or travelodge centrally located between them.

How far is it from Whistler to Seattle and could I travel there by coach? -

4 1/2 hours by car. You need a passport.

What are some good resources to find information about Seattle, WA tourism and their visiting tourists? -

The visiting part of Seattle s official government site: http://www.seattle.gov/html/visitor/http://www.visitseattle.org/

Natives are very congenial here. The best way to find out what is happening is to ask. There is something here for every interest, so express your interest(s) and you will find the natives helpful. (This ain t a NY sort of place.)

http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8 ��You merely search Seattle tourism and a bunch of sites come up. For any city, I always go with the Convention Visitors Bureau first, then visit the other ones

Well I would definetly try google. But www.wikipedia.com is certain to find most of what you are looking for.
