Kids 15 and older may travel alone just like adults on Greyhound.

if you have a parent with you when you get your ticket you should be fine. But i dont think you can buy it by yourself.

Yes you can, and they won t check. You ll need a Photo ID

that depends on if your 18 or not

Xmas eve, and day Boston 2009. Best hotel? -

my son (21), and myself are spending Xmas in Boston (24th, 25th and 26th.) any thoughts of best downtown hotel that offers some kind of Xmas activities (fun) or close to them. I know it s limited but want best activity options for Xmas eve, and day to do some fun stuff.

There are loads of activities taking place in Boston near Back Bay, Copley Square, Newbury Street, etc. I d recommend The Midtown Hotel, Boston Park Plaza Hotel and Towers, The Lenox Hotel and The Colonnade Hotel. I ve been to Boston once during the holidays and it really does give New York a run for its money.

Pickings are mighty slim for Christmas Day. This area closes right up on Dec. 25th. You could get theater tickets for Christmas Eve and the 26th, though. Try ArtsBoston.org. Chinatown might be open. Churches (I like Trinity Church in Copley, it s beautiful). Ice skating at the Frog pond on Christmas Eve, closed Christmas Day. The Public Garden, Boston Common, and Comm Ave Mall are all lit up with lights. The outdoor parts of the Freedom Trail are open. Gardner Museum is open Christmas Eve, they have great decorations up in their courtyard. Movie theaters are always packed on Christmas. As to hotel -- it depends on your budget. The better the hotel, the better the concierge will be. Sometimes they can arrange special activities just for you. (My nephew and I spent Christmas in London once. THAT place closed down for 2 days, even the Tube was closed. But the Concierge arranged for my nephew to help cook christmas cookies with the chef in the hotel restaurant.) Make sure you line up your Christmas Day dinner and lunch in advance. Only the hotels and Chinatown are usually open. Good luck.

Going to Las Vegas in January for the first time and I am trying to get a idea of what the weather is like? -

Cold because that is the heart of our winter. Temps can get down to 28F at night and in the 50 s during the day. Now if you are coming from a cold climate this will seem warm to you.

We are having a very unusually cold winter with moisture. Normally it is 50 s but right now low 40 s and freezing at night. Laying works, bring your coat you wear at home, and realize you don t spend that much time outdoors

It s too early to predict for specific dates in January, but most likely it will be fairly pleasant during the day and brutally cold at night.Rain and snow are unlikely but possible.

It can fluctuate....sometimes the highs are only in the 40s, but when I went last year in January it got into the lower 60s....just depends.

Very cold and windy!!

Why does Bostons MBTA hire all black people? -

I visited the city recently and after a couple days on public transportation I noticed that just about every T employee was african american... any reason why?

u mad ignant dogggg

That may have been your perception at the time. The T has many employees of different racial and ethnic heritage.

Where is a good place to stay in Florida without a car? -

My boyfriend and I would really like to go next summer. However, we don t have a car and can only really afford 1-2 days at the parks. We mainly want to check out the beaches and generally wander about. Where is a good central place to stay? I know most hotels tend to not be very centralised so any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

if you are wanting to go to beaches you wont be staying in the disney area. the beaches are all a few hours drive away from the main disney area. it is one thing to stay in the disney area and just use the public transport. if you prefer to be near beaches you may want to head to miami instead of orlando. any hotel in miami would be good for what you are looking for.

That s two different things. If you want to do the parks, you can stay at either Disney or Universal and get around from your hotel to the parks without a car. If you want to do the beach, then you need to pick a beach to stay at, because Orlando is a good hour s drive from any good beach.I am generally a Disney fan. However, if you can t afford much time at parks, you might want to check out Universal s website. They have some good package deals where you can stay at their hotels and get 7-day unlimited admission tickets to the parks, so it won t cost as much as you are thinking.

In Orlando there are Disney buses and Lynx. One or two days will allow you to do maybe two parks almost. For the beach, if you go to Daytona Beach area, maybe Ormond beach, there are trolleys. I think you can get an excursion bus to get to DB from Orlando.Check out tripadvisor.com, a free site, the Orlando and Daytona Beach forum for more info. on the stuff you want to know. Real people who have been there done that will be happy to answer your questions.

If you stay at Disney your trans to all the Disney parks is covered if you want to do the other parks then stay at International Dr that is near Sea World and Universal. You can ride the I ride trolley around. But that wont get you near any beaches. Renting a car is a must for that activity
