Christmas lights in so-california? -

i heard that there is a neighborhood in orange county, anaheim or some place in that area, and all of the houses are lit up so nicely since its a city competition or something like that. Does anyone know where exactly i can go see that, or anything that sounds like that??

Brea in Orange County.

Perhaps there is something in Anaheim Hills, but I don t know exactly where that is. However, I DO know of Eagle Hills in Brea, where people are NUTTY about Christmas. They spend months trying to out-do each other. The whole neighborhood is LIT UP like Vegas. Haven t seen anything like this since the old days at Hastings Ranch in Pasadena. Take the 57 freeway to Lambert, and go EAST (away from State College Blvd). When you pass Kraemer, look for the signal at Sunflower and turn right (IF you can... the line of cars to get in can be long). Don t enter from Birch St, it takes 30 minutes to get in from that side. Lots of streets and houses to see, usually takes us about an hour.

Idk about Orange County but there is one in Chino, Ca that I have been to that goes for blocks (I think you have to walk or they pay for you to drive through it... I m not sure... but it s better to walk)... they sell hot chocolate... tamales... and have a ton of cool houses... just prepare for a little bit of a walk... don t wear heels!

Duck key and marathon key? -

are they the same thing?I m traveling solo and Im wondering is it all families or is there anything to do? Ive looked around and I m confused

Duck and Marathon are separated by about 10 miles of driving on Hwy 1. Duck is out there all by itself and the majority of people are older or retired. There s a few retail places just across the bridge near the entrance on Duck Key Rd, but otherwise, pretty much villas and homes. Duck is quiet. Marathon is an older and a much bigger community. It s much more business oriented, with an airport and shopping. On the side streets, it s quite a mix, with upscale homes built next to trailers. People that live on Duck go to Marathon to shop, gas-up, or grab a bite at the drive-thru.

no they are not the same but they are very close, marathon is a bigger town. both are very boring, mostly families. i would head over to key west which is not too far from marathon. the tiki bar can be fun at times but that is isle morada. good travels

Should i go to new york for new years? -

My friends are making a road trip (from georgia to new york). But they don t understand--I used to live in DC, I know how much it sucks driving in the snow...I really think they are underestimating it. Going to New york sounds fun--I just turned 21 and I love road trips! But uhh, yea I kind of value my life...Plus, here are some naive questions:What do I wear?? Its colllld I ve never partied in the coldWhere are some fun places to go?This, of course, is assuming I go...I figured I might as well knock 2 questions out in one (and avoid losing 5 more points!)

it the best here in ny , you get to see the ball drop , go to macy s,and enjoy yorself

remember this, to get a halfway decent view in Times Square, you need to be there before noon. there will be very little if any access to bathrooms and food.

wear a big down jacket, it s cold over there. (20-30F) gloves and a scarf too.

Dress with anything you like as long as you re warm. Times Square on New Years Eve will be something you ll never forget!
