Best hotel/location for dancing and fun in SF or LA? -

My friend and I (two women 42 y/o) are going to a conference soon. We can choose The Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles or the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport in Burlingame. We d either like a fun hotel with a lounge/bar and dancing, or one that has some choices nearby. Would love to hear from anybody with experience of either of these areas and/or hotels. Checking the hotel websites isn t a lot of help because they are essentially advertisements, not documentaries. Traveler reviews online are mixed. Thanks for any help!

I stayed at the Hyatt Regency SFO once. There wasn t much around the area other than the airport and a few other hotels. But they did provide a free shuttle to the BART station, so you could take the train into downtown SF, where there is a lot to do. The Westin Bonaventure is in LA s financial district, and should have easy access to transportation as well. I m not sure what is in the immediate area.But seriously, why don t you choose based on the quality of the conference? That is why you are going.

Im in Washington DC and I need a ticket to go to Chicago for thanksgiving!!? -

I am traveling to chicago for thanksgiving and I need some help finding the cheapest way there. priceline, hotwire, cheap tickets didn t have anything. Does anyone know of a cheap way to get to chicago , from DC, that won t take years to get there. Rather it s bus, train, or flight... let me know!!!!

Flights fastest.Many airlines are having thanksgiving sales like virgin.Try continental,deltal,northwest,us airways.I searched on this site and got the cheapest,check it out,it also had discount coupon codes for expedia,orbitz,travelocity,priceline,etc��http://freetravel4ever.blogspot.com

Try the Name Your Own Price feature on Priceline. I ve gotten some good deals there. Basically you bid on a plane ticket from airlines that have tickets available for the days you want to go there. You can put in any price and, who knows, maybe you ll find a ticket for close to that price. For instance I bid on a roundtrip ticket to Chicago to Denver for $100 (cheap, I know). They couldn t find anyone willing to meet my bid, but they did find someone willing to sell me a round trip ticket for $150, which is pretty damn cheap (the average RT tickets is about $250). Not that you ll find a deal that good, but it s worth a trip. The only stipulation is you don t get to pick the hours your fly (you do pick the day) so you might be flying off-peak hours, either really early in the day or later in the evening. And you don t get to pick the airline. AND you have to put in a credit/debit card number nad you re charged right away. AND there are generally no refunds (however if you do have to cancel your flight, they will give you a partial refund, provided you book another roundtrip flight later on). But if getting to Chicago quickly and as cheaply as possible is important to you, I d look into it.

I suppose it depends on how cheap you d want to go. Southwest still has flights available on Thanksgiving Day for about $150 and they don t require a round trip ticket. I fly to DC frequently and the fare is always around $100 and that s booking in advance. So considering it s only 4 days away, that s not a bad fare and you ll be here in less than 2 hours flight time.

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

Southwest is your best bet, and go straight to www.swa.com but its probably pretty expensive now.... you can take Amtrak - no obnoxious last minute fares, and its not too bad of a ride - but just work some extra time in since it tends to arrive later than advertised.

try southwest airlines, they r da cheapest, and they don charge you for the luggage. They land at midway airport only. It will be cheaper if u reserve 2 weeks in advance. Good luck, have a happy turkey day!

www.kayak.comLikely www.greyhound.com will be the cheapest.

Is it possible to go to disney world in Florida without a drivers license? -

I ve been told that you need to have a valid Uk drivers license for 5 years to be able to drive in the states?? I don t know if this is true?If you can t drive what are you other options? like if you stay in a disney hotel do they provide transport to the parks?

If you stay in at a Disney hotel, you will receive complimentary (a.k.a FREE) transportation from Orlando International Airport to your hotel, and to all of the Disney theme parks. This service is called the Magical Express Service and needs to be reserved in advance. Call (407) 939-6244 to make your reservation and you can visit this link http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/air�� for more information on the free transportation offered for all Disney hotel guests.So if you stay at a Disney hotel, you never have to drive or have a driver s license. All transportation will be completely free.

Well I m not sure about the first question, but the second question I can answer!Yes, you do have plenty of options! If you stay in a Disney Resort Hotel, you are automatically granted access to buses that will take you to all four theme parks, Downtown Disney Shopping District, and the two water parks. If you stay in the Contemporary Resort, the Polynesian Resort, or the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, the monorail (which goes to Magic Kingdom and Epcot) goes right through your hotel! Also, if you stay at Port Orleans: French Quarter, Port Orleans: Riverside, or Saratoga Springs, you ll have access to water taxis that take you to and from Downtown Disney Shopping District.Disney is full of transportation other than cars, so enjoy the stress-free rides!PS: Disney s Magical Express bus lines can pick you up from Orlando International Airport and bring you straight to your hotel, or you can rent a towncar, which is what I prefer. Good luck!
