I was looking for inexpensive weekend trip ideas for southern California? -

My husband and I are going away for a weekend in January. I wanted to know if anyone had any ideas of any low cost trip ideas for southern California

Beach areas, getty museum, or Hollyweird.. Everything else will set you back a few bucks.

There is a ton to do for free but remember that most places you go in L.A. will not have free parking...In L.A. for a nice view of the city go to Griffith Observatory (it s free (even the parking) but you may have trouble finding parking so wear sneakers in case you have to hike up a little... The Grove / Farmer s Market if you want have a chance at seeing celebrities (parking is free at the Farmer s Market area if you validate your parking)Venice Beach is very cool and a trip to visit... definitely see that! Also, Santa Monica Pier... I guess obviously the Walk of Fame for the true tourist experience lol...You can try to book some show tapings if you know when you are going to be there for sure (you have to get tickets ahead of time through the net or through phone), also you can look into some studio tours as wellI mean Los Angeles / Hollywood / Beverly Hills is nice but unless you visit like Rodeo Dr. or something there isn t TOO much to do just wandering around in general...For a very cute Mexican Plaza feel visit Olvera Street (it also has a free tour / museum of L.A. s first house right in the plaza... The Santa Monica 3rd St. Promenade has cute shops and have some cool street performers... especially in the afternoon and on weekends... Drive the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) as well :)Theme parks: Universal Studios, Disneyland (In Anaheim), Sea World (in San Diego), L.A. Zoo, San Diego Zoo, San Diego Wild Animal Park (both are obviously in San Diego, etc...The Museum of Tolerance is also a nice place to go for an educational experience :)You can choose what you like and map out an appropriate itinerary :)

Do you have to go to school if you live in yonkers? -

I m moving to yonkers and would like to know if i can go to school outside of yonkers. Me and my sister are in highschool but in manhattan, ny. my moms lawyer told us the NYC department of schools can sue us with even 10,000 dollars for doing that? Is that true?????

You have to attend the schools of the school district you reside in. If you live in Yonkers, you have to go to Yonkers public schools. Yonkers is not part of the New York City school system, so you will have to change schools. If you lie or try to hide the fact that you moved, you could potentially have to pay back tuition. It is possible for a non-resident to attend school in Manhattan, but you have to pay for it, and the whole point of public school is that it s free.

Hello, has anyone ever been to ocean city new jersey? i am trying to plan our family vacation? -

for next year, i will have a 2 year old, and trying to come up with good family places not to far away, as i am not wanting to take a toddler very far....i am in ohio, and i believe that is the closest beach. but if anyone has any good ideas please let me know...thank you

I grew up there. It is very dirty although I do believe they have cleaned up the needles (that occurred when I was young but you can Google it to see if they are still having an issue). I loved the beaches on the Outter Banks. Very clean and not so crowded. Also a great place to really sink into some culture and at the same time have a nice family vacation (and much cheaper as well) is Rhode Island. Don t go without stopping for their crab cakes, they are like no other! Have fun :)

im planing to open a restaurant there

Where do you buy Christmas trees on Oahu, Hawaii (2009)? -

I know this is late but my grandma wants me to see where or if they are still selling Christmas trees.haha. man, these christmas trees are quite expensive. compared to when i lived in oregon. but thank you if you answered.

According to the TV news, this is one of those years when the demand outstripped the supply. This happens every 4 or 5 years. Most places ran out last weekend. (I got mine on Thursday - whew!). Richard Tajiri, the guy at Ala Moana that the other poster mentioned, air shipped in another 700 today, but they sold out quickly.

It s not late. What side of the island are you on? Did you try a hardware store like City Mill?Yes, trees are expensive in Hawaii. When I moved to Oregon a long time ago, the National Forest sectioned off an area where you could go and cut FREE trees. I bet they don t have that any more, though.

The news just finished and It said fresh new Christmas Trees just flew in from the mainland and people was in line from 6am this morning and Its all gone. But who knows there could be more around the island.

At 3pm today trees were being sold in the parking lot of Sears at Ala Moana, for under $100 or something like that.Home Depot sells trees, at least the one in town does.City Mill may still have.

we got ours at kmart....but that was thanksgiving day lol sry
