Is there any place to get discounted tickets to NASA Space Center in Florida? -

my husband and I want to take our kids in January, but the admission price is really hefty for a family of 4. Is there anywhere to get a discount on the tickets?

It s the government. The government doesn t discount anything.And the price is much less than most attractions in Central Florida.

What is the cheapest airport shuttle from NE Portland to PDX? -

I live in NE Portland and am only 5 or 10 (max) miles from PDX. I have a 6 AM flight so too early for the bus/max and I don t want to drive. Any tips on the cheapest way to get there, like flat rate shuttle? I can cab it for about $20 but that seems like a lot when I can hear the roar of jet engines over my head at my house. Any tips most appreciated!

Check the schedule below. MAX begins running at around 03:30. At the Rose Quarter either the 4:13am or 4:43am lines would get you to the airport by 5:11. That s probably early enough.

Christmas lights in so-california? -

i heard that there is a neighborhood in orange county, anaheim or some place in that area, and all of the houses are lit up so nicely since its a city competition or something like that. Does anyone know where exactly i can go see that, or anything that sounds like that??

Brea in Orange County.

Perhaps there is something in Anaheim Hills, but I don t know exactly where that is. However, I DO know of Eagle Hills in Brea, where people are NUTTY about Christmas. They spend months trying to out-do each other. The whole neighborhood is LIT UP like Vegas. Haven t seen anything like this since the old days at Hastings Ranch in Pasadena. Take the 57 freeway to Lambert, and go EAST (away from State College Blvd). When you pass Kraemer, look for the signal at Sunflower and turn right (IF you can... the line of cars to get in can be long). Don t enter from Birch St, it takes 30 minutes to get in from that side. Lots of streets and houses to see, usually takes us about an hour.

Idk about Orange County but there is one in Chino, Ca that I have been to that goes for blocks (I think you have to walk or they pay for you to drive through it... I m not sure... but it s better to walk)... they sell hot chocolate... tamales... and have a ton of cool houses... just prepare for a little bit of a walk... don t wear heels!
