Hi, I'm off to LV for the week, visiting family and I enjoy dancing and good music more than gambling. Shows are expensive, too. Any ideas for good places to hear R&B or Django jazz? Or how about Lindy or east coast swing dancing?
Would love meeting up with locals over drinks - where do they go?
We have planned out our time in Alaska with the exception of the part around choosing either Seward with kayaking at the Aialik Glacier or Valdez with kayaking at Prince William Sound.
We arrive in Anchorage at 6am in June and the options we are deciding between are:
1. Day 1 Drive to Seward, maybe do a glacier hike at Exit Glacier. Day 2 take the all day water taxi / glacier paddling to Aialik glacier (Liquid Adventures). Day 3 return through Anchorage and drive up to Healy for 2 nights to visit Denali NP. Day 4 shuttle to Wonder Lake in Denali NP. Day 5 drive to Tok. Day 6 drive to Kluane NP, day 6 drive to Haines.
2. Day 1 Drive to Healy to visit Denali NP. Day 2 shuttle to Wonder Lake in Denali NP. Day 3 drive to Valdez. Day 4 glacier paddling to Columbia glacier in PWS. Day 5 drive to Tok. Day 6 drive to Kluane NP, day 6 drive to Haines.
From what we have read, Seward has more wildlife but while the paddling at Aialik may be better it is definitely more expensive, though there may be a reason for this I.e it is better?. We miss out of the scenic Glenn Highway and Richardson Highway.
If we skip Seward and go to Valdez the drive appears to be more scenic but maybe we are sacrificing wildlife and the glacier paddling doesn't seem as good or hyped up.
If anyone has done these 2 variations of itinerary we would really appreciated input as it is hard to sort out the best option with tradeoffs... driving scenery versus best paddling versus wildlife etc. Also the road conditions, Glenn and Richardson Highway to Tok or around Fairbanks, Alaska Highway to Tok.
After Haines, we are dropping the car (one way hire with Avis) and travelling on the AMHS to Juneau, Gustavus (for Glacier Bay), Sitka, Wrangell and Ketchikan. We are not sure if what we may see in the second part of the trip changes which of the options we are best to do out of Anchorage.
I`m unable to rent a car.
I still need to get from West Haven to Norwich. However I only know of a bus from West Haven to New London.
Is there a possiblity of some kind of public transporation or can I only take a taxi?
Thanks in advance

Hi 3 friends and myself are heading to Myrtle beach at the end of the month to work. We have a motel confirmed but are trying to find a condo/apartment with cooking facilities etc. Also we are confused about Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach. Which one would be better for j1 students in terms of nightlife,jobs,accommodation....
Is north myrtle beach more of a golf/upclass resort? We are finding it hard to get accommodation in the main myrtle beach area. Any info greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello, Austin folks! We are going to be in town over the 4th of July. What's the best bet for fireworks? Also, we'll be staying downtown because our 16-yr-old son is going to a gaming thing at the Convention Center. Do we need a car to see the best that Austin has to offer? We'll be there from the 3rd to the 9th.
Thanks for any info and recommendations!

We are travelling from Washington DC to Lancaster. Which route is the best to see most of the Amish people. Claudia
Usually when we travel I have plenty of time to research the area. Hubby mentioned last night he would love to go to Amish country. Now I know a lot of the area is "pretend" Amish. Being from Virginia I am not "green" about respect etc. What I really want to know is this: Looking for a motel where we can take our Maltese. He will be crated while we are out and about sightseeing. We don't need a fancy motel but don't want to stay in a dump either. It would be nice to find a place where you almost have a little cabin (for lack of a better term) but it would be fine if it were just a motel that allows pets. Also, want to get out and see the farmland and how the Amish live. I am used to Menonite people but hard to explain to a Texan (hubby) the difference. We are not into shopping but do like to see points of intrest.
Hi there friends, I lived in Lancaster (actually Manheim Twp,) for 7 years, and moved back to my native Michigan about 3 years ago. Anyway... can someone tell me the name of that big (as in, they have 1,000's of 'em) basket store out east of town on Rte. 30? It was past the outlets... but I don't think as far as Gap. I thought it was called Basketville... but in searching online I can't find it at all. I bought so many great -- and inexpensive -- baskets while we lived there, I'd like to see if their stuff is available online. Thanks in advance! --Carol
I am interviewing for a position in Lancaster, and want to know if I'm making the right choice about living there M-F. Of course my escape on the weekends would be my beach house. I am wondering if Lancaster is Gay Friendly. Thanks, Patrick

I am studying these two languages and am looking for anyone who is interested in speaking them with me to improve. My Hungarian is very beginner, so if anyone who doesn't know it and wants to learn, you wouldn't have far to catch up and I have an extra book.
Hi, I just moved here from WI and am wondering if there is anyone out there who plays Sheepshead/Schaftkopf out here. I would really like to find some live games.
F&M College is wonderful, and the Admissions Dept at F&M College is very nice, Especially when Suggesting the Marriott Fairfield and the Hilton Garden Inn at Granite Run Drive as overnite choices, closeby and than 10 mins from the F&M campus. Both hotels are very nice, well kept, and with courteous staff. Thanks F&M for the advice.
For anyone visiting Lancaster PA area, you must make it a point to come to see a production at Sight and Sound. We have seen most of them over the past 10 years and they keep getting better. The quality if first rate and the talent is incredible. The Milennium Theater is itself a marvel to see. Many friends work there and it's something very special. The current production is "Ruth" and I think it plays into October. Welcome everyone! Cheryl
We're on our way to Lancaster, Hershey and Lebanon, PA. this summer. Trying to find a small quiet spot to stay while in the area. Enjoy old. Heard about the great Penna. Dutch cooking. Don't like the standard motels, hotels, and frilly Victorian B&B's. Maybe a farm stay...if it isn't 10 miles from every restaurant? Is there a simple old inn? Cottage with kitchenette..or breakfast included? Guess I'm a bit fussy, but don't like the impersonal, expensive and (I feel) uncomfortable glitzy tourist traps. Don't need luxury so much as comfy.
Could someone from Lancaster tell me if there is a problem with flooding in the area? Which areas have the most trouble...which areas are in a flood-free zone. Any help with this question would be appreciated.
Me, my husband and our teenage son are moving to Lancaster in October from Albuquerque, NM. Needless to say, the winters are not exceptionally cold here, though jackets are required. Can anyone advie me as to what kind of clothing, outerwear and footwear we need to purchase to survive a Lancaster winter? Any help would be appreciated
Interested in your thoughts about the Noah Show at the Sight and Sound Millennium Theatre. Is is worth the expense and will a seven year old enjoy?
Hi, I'm leaving for the US in 10 days (mostly around NYC) and since it would be a shame to miss the us countryside I thought maybe the area around Lancaster (PA) would be nice to see the countryside, some of those wooden covered bridges and perhaps some Amish (although I'm not expecting too much of that). My LP book and various websites on the area say that it's a really nice area to go cycling and the pictures I saw on the net only seem to confirm this, but the problem is that I couldn't find any adress (LP or net) in Lancaster or the area around Lancaster where I can rent a bicycle for a couple of days. Who can help me finding a place like that? It would be a shame being stuck on buses and so on because it looks soo great for cycling. Thank you, Bert Dosfel ps: prices on campgrounds seem rather high to me, around 20 US. Is it cheaper for a lonely traveller in a small, sad-looking tent?
My wife recently got a job in Lancaster, PA. I'm wondering where a good place to live would be in Lancaster or the nearby area. We have a 3 year old daughter, and we would like to live away from industry, in a safe, low-crime area that has some places (restaurants, shops) within walking distance. Please advise.
Ok, I might need to go on a business trip for 2-3 months and maybe longer down in Lancaster PA. I would be down there from Monday to Friday. I would have an allowance of 60$/day for rent (or hotel) and 43$/day for food. My question: Is there any place that I could stay that long for that much money. I wouldn't mind living with a family or an Amish family. My work is software designer. Thanks, pat
My wife and six-year old recently stayed three days at a B&B in Lancaster County. We tipped 20% gratuity on the two dinner meals we had there and left a20 tip for housekeeping. When the transaction posted to my (debit card) account, the amount was exactly 20% more than the final bill I had signed for. I've never heard of adding gratuity to a final hotel or B&B bill--am I behind the times?
My family will be visiting the Lancaster area and I would like for us to try the local food. However, I don't want tourist meals. Restaurants I have found include Good&Plenty, Dienner's, and Plain&Fancy. I have found others like Millers but they seem like overpriced tourist traps. Any comments about these restaurants or other suggestions? Thanks!
