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!!
