Well, exactly WHERE in Colorado? On which highway? Makes a big difference. If you are going to use I-70, the weather looks good all the way across Colorado for the weekend. I just looked it up yesterday for another person wanting to drive that way. See site below to read my answer yesterday, for the weather reports and hotline for road conditions.
well im in the foothills of the rockies in colorado now and it s cold, but not snowing. i think itll be the same on saturday.
Those two islands are very different! Both of them have very small populations--neither island has more than one public high school. Transportation to both of them is a little tricky. You ll need to ride either a prop plane or a ferry to get to either one. The ferry ride to Lanai is shorter, cheaper, and smoother if that makes a difference to you. You start to see the difference when you fly into the airports. LNY is small, but air conditioned and modern. You have to walk down steps when you deplane in either airport, but at MKK, the gate you walk through is literally a chain-link gate. Molokai s airport terminal is little more than a shed, about the length of a high school gym, with four signs hanging on the side: baggage claim, check in, snack bar, and air freight. Plenty of people walk right past the baggage claim on Molokai, maybe because it s a wide concrete bench, maybe because there are usually people sitting on it.98% of Lanai is owned by a company called Castle Cooke. There are two luxury resorts, and almost everybody lives in a small village in the center of the island, all neat and quaint with cute boutiques and cafes. Most of the population of the island is of Filipino descent. The local school benefits from corporate sponsorship when companies like Nike hold executive retreats there. When Bill Gates wanted to get married in a private ceremony, he simply paid for every hotel room on Lanai, and every commercial plane ticket in or out that weekend.Several miles away on Molokai, more than half the total population is of Native Hawaiian descent, and more than three quarters of the schoolkids. The largest tourist attraction is what they used to call a leper colony. A couple dozen Hansen s Disease patients still live on the Kalaupapa penninsula, at the bottom of a thousand foot cliff. Visits to Kalaupapa are tightly controlled, unless you have a sponsor who lives down there.On Topside Molokai, several activist families work hard to chase away anything that looks like mass tourism or overdevelopment--cruise ships for example. Because of their opposition to a proposed luxury residential development that would leave a footprint bigger than the island s largest town, the largest employer on the island shut down the 18-hole golf course, the only movie theater, the hotel with the island s only elevator, and a popular restaurant and bar in 2008. Many of the island s residents make their living through a combination of farming, hunting, fishing, and bartering, and they raise their children to be proud they can live off the land. There is only one hotel on the island, but when you are in the restaurant, looking out to sea, hearing local characters like Uncle Mel and Larry laugh and joke at the bar, watching somebody s auntie get up and dance hula to live music, it seems that the buildings of the Hotel Molokai are the only buildings in the world. Meanwhile, up the hill, among the picnic tables outside the Kualapuu Cookhouse, it s Thursday night: prime rib night. Local folks who still have grease stains on their shirts from work have brought ukuleles and a washtub bass to play music just because they enjoy it. They ve convinced Bruiser to come out of the kitchen and sing a Bruddah Iz song. You ll have to pop across the street to the market to buy a bottle of wine, but the food is fantastic! Which island you prefer will be up to your personal preferences, but visiting either place takes careful planning. Transportation to either island is so limited that a high school sports tournament could prevent you from getting a ticket if you don t make reservations ahead of time.
If you re a scuba diver Lanai is great because it has a famous dive site called the Lanai Cathedrals. It s a series of lava domes you can swim through. If you re not a diver I think Molokai may have more sights to offer.
It depends on where you are moving in Texas. Bigger cities and places on or near the coast can be more expensive than other parts of Texas. You will also need a car for transportation unless you move to one of the larger cities.
Coast? Learn to spell!
Just go somewhere with the things you want and your brother can stay in the hotel.I don t have ideas on where to go though, sorry. Most of my trips are camping.Maybe Cancun or Florida or Myrtle Beach.
If you were visting Washington DC for the first time, I would recommend you do it during the daylight hours. Different parts of downtown certainly do have offer a wonderful night life and entertainment but getting lost esp walking and going into the wrong part or neighborhood in DC is dangerous and not safe... In fact many tourists pick lodging in Northern Virginia (Arlington Crystal City) that also has a nightline and entertainment as well as good mall shopping after hours at the Fashion Center in Pentagon City.Hope the Above Info Helps!
Down by the waterfont there is the Spirit of Washington which is a dining/dancing tour. 7th Street and Galary Place has oriental restaurants and Friday s and such. Cleveland Park off the Red Line has the zoo and our Pandas (always a big treat) Bethesda off the red line has an area dedicated to many different and tasty restaurants. The trolley is the best thing to use and see the monuments. You get a ticket and can get off and on as much as you want. Its enclosed in the winter so you can still sightsee.
The Mall (as in the museum area) is pretty cool. The Georgetown Area is filled with nice restaurants and nightlife but has a lot of college students. If you like historic sites you may want to visit Old Town, Alexandria; it s about 15 minutes from downtown. Stay out of Southeast DC! Also, it gets pretty cold during January (30-40 degrees)
Most of DC (at least the parts you ll be visiting) isn t dangerous. Just don t go frolicking about the blue or orange line in booty shorts.Some fun things: Adams Morgan, Georgetown, The Natural History and Air And Space museums are my faves. Umm.. I ll leave out the good parks as it ll be January... Oh, the National Arboretum is fun, IDK, but the presidents Christmas tree still might be up in Junary (the capitol tree is actually better but not that many people know about it).
You will have a much better trip if you have a good guidebook rather than getting a short answer here. There are many available; check at the library or bookstore. One is online here: http://www.frommers.com/destinations/was�� but if you are going to be spending hundreds of dollars or more on the trip, it will be well worth the $15 for a good guidebook that you can read and bring with you. Enjoy DC!
You simply amed outta sate? Get out of here!
DC is a great place to visit, but it is quite different from other cities.1) Downtown DC is dominated by the federal government. On your first trip to the city, you will probably spend most of your time around the National Mall, where all the big government buildings, the Smithsonian museums, and the various memorials are located. The White House, the Capitol Building, the Supreme Court Building, and the Library of Congress are all open to visitors although I think tour tickets are generally required--check their websites. The Capitol has a brand new visitor center which is supposed to be quite nice. For all these sites you will need to go through a security check and metal detector. Don t bring any large bags.2) The Smithsonian is definitely one of the best things about DC--absolutely some of the best museums in the country and all of them free. My favorite is the Natural History Museum--don t miss the gemstones. The Native American Museum is new and really awesome. The Air and Space Museum is the most popular, but I don t personally see the appeal. Surprisingly awesome museum that sounds really boring?: the National Portrait Gallery (it s a couple blocks away from the Mall though). As with the government buildings, expect to go through security in order to get in.3) The major monuments down on the west end of the Mall and around the tidal basin really aren t terribly exciting, but they are a part of DC that you are not going to find anywhere else. I think they re worth a walk around if you re going to be here for more than a day or two. Warning: the Mall is two miles long. It does not look that long on maps. You *can* walk from one end to the other, but think carefully about how much other walking you plan to do that day.4) The food around the Mall (in museum cafeterias and from pushcarts) will be terrible and expensive. Either bring your own lunch or walk north towards Chinatown and the downtown area to find better eating. Exception: the gelato from the cafe in the basement of the National Art Gallery is awesome. 5) Downtown DC (the area north of the Mall) is going to disappoint you if you re looking for a typical city experience. No skyscrapers, not much shopping, and everyone leaves at 5 o clock. This is slowly changing, especially in the area around Chinatown, but for the most part people in DC live and play elsewhere.6) For cool shopping and eating you re going to want to go to the northwest. Neighborhoods like Georgetown, Dupont Circle, and Adams Morgan are places where people actually live, and there are lots of interesting, independently owned shops and restaurants. It can be fun simply to get off the metro at Dupont Circle and wander. Union Station in the northeast is also interesting: cool architecture, a whole mall in the station, and an a-maz-ing food court downstairs.7) Safety: DC is divided into 4 quadrants with the Capitol building at the center. The northwest is generally safe, but you ll want to avoid straying too far from Capitol Hill in any of the other directions. I ve never felt unsafe by myself (20-something woman) downtown or in the northwest during the daytime. At night, stick with your group. And as in any big city, it s a good idea to keep a hand on your purse--I like the ones with the short strap that sit up under your armpit, so I don t really have to think about it. DC has some appalling crime statistics, but in the areas you re likely to go it isn t really a problem. Just be smart, and you don t have to worry.8) The best way to get around (other than walking) is Metro, the subway system, which is safe, easy to use, and very clean. Learn how to use it here: http://www.wmata.com/rail/ Tip 1: avoid antagonizing the natives by standing on the right hand side of the escalators and allowing them to pass you on the left. People in DC have places to be, so if you block the whole escalator, don t be surprised if they push you out of the way to get passed. Tip 2: a map of both the streets and the Metro is an invaluable thing to have--you want one with the streets on one side with the metro stops marked and then a metro map on the other side. I like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Streetwise-Washington-Laminated-Center-Street/dp/0935039066/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 s=books qid=1259777855 sr=8-1 which I picked up at a Borders in Pennsylvania.9) Weather: the weather in DC in January can be wildly unpredictable. Some years are bitter cold, windy, and with snow (like last year for the Inauguration). Other years there are freak 60 degree days. Generally expect weather in the 30s and 40s with possible rain or snow. Your best bet is to check the 10-day weather forcast on weather.com or similar just before you go and pack accordingly. Layers are always a good idea because you can overheat while walking around or in crowded buildings and then you ll want to strip down.I hope you have a great trip!
Well, first it is very likely to be bitterly cold in January so dress appropriately. Wear layers of clothing such as a tee with a sweater and then a jacket or vest. Wear warm socks and comfortable shoes and bring gloves (not mittens) and a scarf as well as a hat.Washington is a wonderful city and there is a whole lot to see and do. Book a tour with a good, reliable tour company for the best results. All of the Smithsonian museums are must-sees, as well as all of the monuments, the federal government buildings, the Library of Congress, the Kennedy Center, the Holocaust Museum, the Museum of the American Indian and the National Gallery of Art. You can ice skate in the Sculpture Garden for a fun afternoon. The National Aquarium has just been expanded and is really worth a visit now (not the Baltimore one, the D.C. one). There are a couple of places where you can get a good meal and a history lesson all in one. Ben s Chili Bowl is wonderful (get the half-smoke with chili) and both Bill Cosby and President Obama are counted among their customers. The Old Ebbitt Grill is a gorgeous tradition in our town and is a great place for people watching. A walrus over the bar is reported to wear the helmet that Teddy Roosevelt wore on his charge up San Juan Hill. For great Chinese food, where else but Chinatown? Tony Chang s at the China Gate is right at the Gallery Place exit on Metro. It is also a Washington landmark within a short walk of the Verizon Center. Don t pay too much attention to the responders who are trying to frighten you about crime. We play host to thousands of visitors every year. Just use your good sense, don t wander the streets after midnight and stay with your group. You ll be just fine. This will be a trip you will remember!
I was stationed at Fort Meade years ago. It was always a decent base, as it wasn t overly huge and was fairly easy to maneuver around. It also had a very nice weather climate in that the winters never were brutally cold compared to the Midwest and the summers were...well hot and humid, but definitely tolerable.The other thing that I really enjoyed about Ft. Meade was it s location. It has good access to BWI airport in Baltimore and it is located right along the Baltimore Washington Parkway, for easy access to both cities. We also were able to venture as to the Maryland seaboard, Philadelphia and as far south as Richmond. It really was a nice location.As to your thoughts about Baltimore and DC, they are like most other cities. They are meant to be explored and can be fun. I fell in love with DC though. I love the history in the city, the monuments, Capitol, museums. It is really a great place to visit. A couple of my favorites to do there are the Cherry Blossoms in the spring...simply gorgeous. In the summer, it s the Fourth of July concert fireworks on the National Mall the evening of July 4th. Amazing place to spend that holiday. A nice parade..lots of people. It also has a very friendly Metro Rail transit which can be accessed from the collar communities and taken directly into DC, thus avoiding traffic, driving and parking hassles.I think you ll enjoy the time spent there...and don t miss the opportunity to explore the surrounding areas.
I m not familiar with Fort Meade, but I ve lived near or around DC most of my life, and I really urge you to give the cities a chance. Maybe you ve heard that Baltimore and DC are crime filled and dirty, and that s true in the sense that you can find dirty and crime filled neighborhoods if you look for them. But the cities are mostly great places, especially the downtowns. DC has not only the National Mall and the museums and monuments, which you should definitely visit, but nice neighborhoods too. In mine, just a 10 minute walk from the Capitol, you ll find parks filled with kids playing and dogs running. I go to Baltimore occasionally and enjoy the inner harbor and the various neighborhoods. You ll also be near Annapolis, which is a nice little historic port town.Also, you re luck to get here in April. Spring in DC is absolutely spectacular - make sure to come and see the cherry blossoms!Go to the library or bookstore and get a guidebook to DC and one for Maryland. If you are going to be here for even a few months, they will be a valuable resource. I like Frommers guides, but there are a lot of good ones. They will give you ideas of what to see, where to eat, how to get there, how to stay safe, etc. You can browse them here: http://www.frommers.com/destinations/was�� and http://www.frommers.com/destinations/mar��Welcome to our neighborhood; I hope to make it to Texas soon! Yes, there are lots of differences, but there are lots of good people all over the country!
they use to just give the johns a ticket and let them go.
Whether at a truck stop or in the casinos if you know what to look for they become obvious but if you don t they can easily slip below your radar.
There are working girls all over the place in Vegas. I don t know about the truck stops but most of the ones that I saw last time I was there were working the casino bars.
Why would you ask? You interested? Watch out it could be a policewomen undercover and they do arrest johns
Hard-Rock Casino for sure!
I see them all over, but men don t see them until they hit them
That s how google gives directions. When driving is impossible it puts in directions like that.
It no longer does it for the Atlantic Ocean, but type in cross-Pacific itineraries like Los Angeles to Honolulu in Google Maps, watch what happens ;) Report Abuse
U wanna swim from NYC all the way to London??
