We will be visiting disneyland and legoland in June of this year... we are great fans of lego and anticipate purchasing lego while we are there. Disneyland is our first stop.. does anyone know if prices are compariable at the lego shop disney or from legoland itself. Donna

Help! A friend emailed these photos of her stuffed animal and has challenged me to identify the location. I think it is the Bay Area, probably San Francisco.

My 11 year old son and I will be staying in South Lake Tahoe for a week at the end of July. We would like to see the giant Redwoods and giant Sequoias, where are the nearest locations found. We will have a rental car for the week.

I am flying into San Francisco in July and spending 3 nights there. I will then rent a car and head somewhere north for 2 nights (Russian River area?) to do some hiking and kayaking. I will end the holiday with 3 nights in Carmel. I was wondering what town/city I could stay in to be close to hiking and kayaking locations. Russian River and Armstrong woods seem like good areas to explore but I don't know what town to stay in.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Any recommendations for hostels to stay in while looking for accommodation in San Francisco?
2 girls, cheap as possible but you know in a good spot for searching for accommodation and getting around!

Staying at a Long Beach hotel for a convention but will be going to a Saturday evening Dodgers game. We will have a rental car so...

- Should we drive the car up to the stadium and get general parking?
- Or should we drive up to Union Station/Patsaouras Transit, park there and catch the Dodgers Express Bus into the stadium?
-'Or should we totally leave the car at the hotel and take the Metro Blue Line/transfer to the Red Line into Union Station/Patsaouras (to catch the Dodgers Express)?

Ease and not sitting in traffic make the Metro & Dodgers Express Bus sound good but I've been told the trip would take approx. 2 1/2 hours each way. That seems like a long time but would driving ourselves take just as long because of the traffic? Your advice would be appreciated!

We're thinking of spending a weekend in Ojai with our 2 small children (2.5 and 4 years respectively). Can anyone recommend any places/activities better suited for families? Let me know and thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,

Me and my sister are travelling to LA. We are udecided to where to stay altough leaning towards a week in week in West Hollywood or Hollywood and 3/4 days in Santa Monica.Things we want to do are shopping, Star walk, clubbing, Venice Beach, Rodeo Drive, Runyon Canyon and sporting events (basketball/baseball). What would people recommend in regards to accommodation location?? We are planning on using public transport as we are to scared to hire a car and drive around LA! (Australian lisence)

We will be staying in the Richmond Discrict, 29th ave.. we will need to travel daily to and from the Marine Memorial Hotel...what is the best way for six ladies to travel back and forth?

We are 3 women who come to Tahoe every year for Memorial Day. We wanted to try something new and decided it might be fun to go skeet shooting or do indoor target practice. We would like a little instruction but don't want an all day class...this is just for fun, not serious. Any ideas where to go or who to contact?

We will be landing in San Diego at 9am and then our flight home doesn't leave until 1pm. Is there anything we could do with an 18 month old (zoo? sea world? other?) during that length of layover. We would have to be back at the airport by noon, so not a ton of time really, but a bit too long to be hanging out at an airport with a bored toddler. We obviously won't rent a car, so would need to take some form of public transit. Sorry, if my question is ridiculous or unrealistic! Our trip is actually to Arizona, but we're flying home via San Diego and just realized the length of the layover, so we've done zero research on this city. Hoping you fine folks can help steer us in some kind of direction - even if it's recommending we stay put. Thanks!

Hi

I will be travelling with my daughter to LA in June and do not want to hire a car. Does anyone know of an amazing hotel with wi-fi, costing a maximum of $150 per night, in a good, safe location near a Metro station?

Thanks in advance, Mark.

I am planning to visit California next month, So I need some recomendations regarding transportation.I heard that Local Transportation in California is very complex. One of my friend told me that you should hire a car there and also recommened me these two car rental comapanies johnwayneairportcarhire.com and uscarhire.com. so please tell me what should I choose local or private.

Can anyone confirm if there are any public parking places where I can park my car for 3 days while in San Francisco?
I have got an amazing rate on the Galleria Hotel, Union Square but they have said that parking is valet only and at a cost of $45.00per day - kind of undoes the great rate they offered.

I'm driving to San Fran and then need it after San Fran for Yosemite and the airport run and could do without returning and rehiring for 3 days!
