How much would a cab fare cost on long Island to travel 10.4 mi? -

By New York City taxi cabs, the pricing depends on where you are going on Long Island. If you are going to the Nassau Counties on Long Island, the fare is the amount shown on the taximeter, which is calculated at the standard city rate within New York City and at twice the metered rate for the portion of the trip in Westchester or Nassau County. All necessary tolls to and from the destination shall be paid by the passenger. So, if you are going to Nassau County, you would basically pay the fare it would cost to leave the city, and then the measured fair to your destination into Nassau County, including all toll booths.Here is the pricing --Initial fare$2.50Each one-fifth mile*$0.40Each one minute idle$0.40Peak surcharge$1.00 (after 4pm, until 8pm, Monday through Friday)Night surcharge$0.50 (after 8pm, until 6am)Tolls$extra, depending on the tollAdditional ridersFreeIf you are going beyond Nassau County on Long Island, the pricing will be one flat rate, which is a definite amount fixed between the driver and the passenger at the start of the trip. This flat rate shall be negotiated prior to the trip and entered into the meter. If you are going to make it a flat rate, please make it fair; make sure the driver is getting a good amount of money for his trouble.*1/5 of a mile is approximately four New York City blocksAll the best ?

Is it possible for adults (husband/wife, age 37, no children) to enjoy Disney World? -

We were thinking of driving there, staying outside the park, and winging it by buying tickets at the gate for a few days. This would be from 12/27-1/1. We ve never been there before and are driving from NJ. Your thoughts?

Me and the wife are both 62 and we enjoy going to Disney World and other them parks.

of course you can enjoy it and have fun!there are tons of rides and attractions for all ages. i m 23 and i still love going. my sister is 30 and she still loves going. geez my parents are in their 60 s and still love going (just by themselves)but i would advise you to NOT go during that time. from dec 21st to jan 1st is literally the busiest time of the entire year so for your fist time it would be extremely overwhelming. you d have to get there waaaaaaay before the parks open to buy your tickets at the gate cuz there will be a LONG line. plus during that time the parks fill to capacity by noon at the latest so you nned to get in early before the stop letting guests in.i d advise you to either go before dec 21st or after jan 4 cuz thats when the kids go back to school.

Yes you will have a brilliant time at Disney World. The tickets are quite expensive if you are only going for a few days. You might want to check out Universal parks which have amazing roller coasters, rides and attractions. You can get Universal tickets for 2 days into the 2 parks for $99.Have fun :)You could check these sites for more infohttp://www.universalorlando.com/home/hom��http://orlandorollercoaster.com/

Yes. A person of any age can thoroughly enjoy Disney World. My math teacher from my senior year had never been there before and when he got married he brought his wife there for their honeymoon and you should see the pictures of him. He is a really big man but he seriously looked like a little kid with that huge smile in all of the pictures. Disney is really a magical experience for everyone. Trust me, you will LOVE it!

Disney is over-priced and over-rated. You ll be wasting your time and money going there. Skip Disney and Orlando. There are so many better places in Florida to spend your vacation. Tampa, Sarasota, Fort Myers, Miami, and Fort Lauderdale have much better attractions and the beautiful beaches, as well.

Definitely more fun without kids! My kids can not always get off from school, so we go without them usually in December. We always have more fun without them, I am kind of ashamed to say. When they are with us, it is always us waiting in line for some characters autograph, or listening to all of them whine. Without them, we go at our own pace and can enjoy the things they find boring. EPCOT is especially fun fun couples sans kids!

It is very possible for adults to enjoy DIsney. Very few of the rides are really for the young ones. Lots of adult rides . ( some are not rides) You should have a good time. Here s a link:http://www.orlandorideguide.com/?Park=Di��

Oh defitnely. I am 37 years old and if i did not have kids, i would still go! It s sooooo much fun and if you have never been, you will love it! I have a years pass to Disney and i go without my kids sometimes with my other half!

definitelyDISNEY IS FUN For all agesGo to the Epcot Center, Hollywood Studios and then go to the mini water park either the blizzard beach or the typhoon lagoon. then go to Disney Downtown in evening it is fun.

Disneyworld is fine for adults. You ll enjoy it. You might want to do Epcot too. It s more on the educational side.

Disney brings out the kid in everyone so yeah it s definitely worth it no matter how old you are! If you can afford it that is lol.

At Disney World everyone is a kid, lol.

We are married, no kids and are 34 38 and had a BALL! A place where everyone can act like a fool wearing Mickey Ears no1 cares. A place to embrace your inner child and escape from realityHollywood Studios is better for adults. The MAgic Kingdom is truly for the young (and the young at heart!) as the rides are much tamer.Hollywood Studios* Tower of Terror* Toy Story Mania (go here get a fast pass first thing upon ariving as this is packed, esp at the time of the year you are going)* Rock n Roller Coaster* Great movie ride* Studio backlot tour* Star Tours* Muppet 3-dEPCOT* Ellens Energy Adventure (old but fun...also good for a rest)* Test Track* Mission Space (beware if you get motion sickness...if so, do the green)* Spaceship Earth (make sure the photo you take of yourselves are silly...you ll see)* Soarin* Livin with the Land (under-rated!)* Turtle Talk with Crush (fun for all ages!)Nice for a relaxing stroll enjoying being able to travel the world if you can afford to actually travel. Not too many kids here as they thinks its boring so good for some peaceAND dont miss Illuminations!ANIMAL KINGDOM (great for a relaxing day as this is a big park so everyones spread out)* Dinosaur* Expedition Everest* Its tough to be a bug* Kali River Rapids* Kiliminjaro Safaris* Finding Nemo - the Musical* Festival of the Lion King* Flights of WonderMAGIC KINGDOM* Big Thunder Mountain* Buzz Lightyear s Space Ranger Spin* Pirates of the Caribbean* Country Bear Jamboree (made us laugh BUT we have a warped sense of humour)* Jungle Cruise (try to see if you can get Skipper Adam as he is hilarious)* Mickey s Philharmagic (brilliant!!!!!)* Monsters Inc Laugh Floor (see tips on google to see how to be That Guy )* Splash Mountain* Space Mountain* Stitch s Great Escape (but I do love Stitch as hes rude)* The Hall of Presidents* The Enchanted Tiki Room* Haunted Mansion* SpectroMagic Parade* WishesHollywood Studios is the smallest but our fave as it was more aimed at our age group. Food at Hollywood Vine is fabulous too and you must see Fantasmic as this is great for any age. The live shows are awesome too (Indiana JOnes Lights motor action is a must seeI dont think we wouldve had as much fun if we had kids with us cos we couldnt have done what we wanted to when we wanted to (no offence to kids)! Just relax enjoy yourselves and remember the imagination joy that we had when we were kids!!!!!

Is It Possible For a tsunami to happen in san fransisco ? -

I live right off the water o.o

Yes, and tsunamis have hit several times (keep in mind a tsunami is moreso defined by a long traveling wave cause by some natural disaster... if that wave is 1 foot high, it s still a tsunami). A 20-30 foot tsunami is considered quite high, and that obviously wouldn t even get over the cliffs. Even a 100 foot tsunami - which, while they ve happened, are extremely rare and almost mythical - wouldn t get over the cliffs. So the only neighborhood of SF really prone to a tsunami is the Sunset (and parts of the Richmond - the couple streets nearest GG Park.During the 1906 earthquake, a tsunami hit and flooded the Sunset through what s now about 25th Ave. So, I guess if you live in the Sunset between the Great Highway and about 25th then you may have a valid concern. Otherwise... not a problem.

Yes it can. In fact, when I lived in Marin county(just north of SF) we actually did have a tsunami warning once. Nothing happened, but lots of people went to a shelter which was in the Marin county civic center at that time. But, the chances are far less then having a major earthquake in the city.

Anywhere within travel distance of the waves being generated would be at risk.Here is a good article about tsunamis and San Francisco. It references the 1964 Alaskan quake which killed 11 people in Crescent City.So to answer your question: YEShttp://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cg��

It might affect the west side of the city if one hit. Inside the Golden Gate, though, you might not even notice a thing until the news reports started coming in.

possible, this is earthquake state and since we are near the falut lines. You should watch the movie 2012- it was a cool flick.

Need traveling tips for 4 kids! (NC specific and general ideas welcome!)? -

Need advice on traveling with varied ages (esp Asheville, NC ideas??)?I normally take my two kids - a boy and girl twins (going to turn 9 soon) to Maggie Valley and Cherokee NC for snow tubing and casual fun after Xmas for a couple of days - we do this annually... , we invited my bf and his sons (ages 17 and 14 ) to attend also...BF seems worried his kids might get bored - and I too want to ensure all the kids have a good time... not just mine.. My kids find fun anywhere (much to the dismay or me most times.. lol)So, instead of staying in MV or Cher - which is low-key and not a ton to do...in winter... I thought, well maybe there is more to do in Asheville and that is only an hour or less from where we normally go... I need some ideas that everyone will like. I heard of the Biltimore house but wonder if kids those ages would really have anything to do there... is it more geared toward adults..Anyone have any other ideas? I am open to ALL suggestions - from Asheville, to Maggie Valley and Cherokee...

Don t bother taking 4 kids to the Biltimore, they would be bored stupid. It is a beautiful place for quiet getaway for just the 2 of you but there is nothing for kids to do. If you normally go to Maggie Valley, just cross the Smokies into TN and take to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. Its less than an hour from Cherokee and there are tons of things for all of you to do. Gatlinburg has the Riply s Aquarium that is really nice and places to play indoor mini golf or laser tag among many other things. Pigeon Forge has Dollywood amusement park, go-cart tracks and lots of family oriented activities. Just search yahoo for Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge and you find plenty of info. Have fun.
