Pennsylvania Church camp grounds to rent for family reunions
Posted: Mon June 29, 2009 05:28 AM UTC
I need a big place with plenty of sleeping quarters near Springs, Pa. We are planning a family reunion in Springs and I need to find accommodations for all our folks that are traveling in. We would like to spend our time together and not seperated out in different hotels (at least not for the first day or so). I am looking for some where we can cook our own meals and share them together. So we would need a place with a big kitchen also. I am looking at the possibility of between 40-60 people to be in attendance. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Pennsylvania Large family gathering
Posted: Sat June 27, 2009 09:27 PM UTC
Our family would like to get together next year for our family reunion. We are needing a place to acommodate 50-75 people. We are looking in the Lancaster area. We would like to stay over a weekend. We would also like to have a kitchen and dinning room to be able to cook and eat in. We have been blessed with many children. Most are now school age and need interesting things to keep them busy. We have used a camp ground before but it is booked for next year already. Any suggestions would be greatly noted.

Pittsburgh General Questions About Pittsburgh
Posted: Thu June 18, 2009 03:39 PM UTC
On Sunday, besides having Father's Day at my house we are also having a going away party for one of my nieces who is going to be moving to Pittsburgh next month to attend graduate school.

To surprise her, I am trying to compile some information from VT Pittsburgh sites, but I would like to supplement with other thoughts, opinions on places to see, restaurants, websites, or anything in general that you think she would enjoy knowing about.

Ricketts Glen State Park First Time To Ricketts Glen
Posted: Mon May 18, 2009 01:45 AM UTC
We have never been to Ricketts Glen Campground but are excited to come. We have a small dog that we will be camping with us. I know there are only certain sites available for pets, so could you tell me one of the more secluded and closer to the water sites.
Thank you

I will be traveling to Lewes, DE on Saturday and understand there is bridge reconstruction on I476 near the Schuykill Expressway exit. How can I get around this mess?

I will be traveling south on 476 (formerly known as the NE extension of the Turnpike)from Northeast Pa and usually take it straight through to I95 south.

Philadelphia Gino's VS. Pat's (Cheesesteak war???)
Posted: Mon May 4, 2009 04:46 AM UTC
hello everyone,

we might be going on a foodie trip to Philly, and obviously cheesesteaks are on the menu. since I've heard about these two places as the best place to get one, will definitely try one from each to find out, but in your opinion which one has the best? Or maybe it could be neither one and it's another place... Oh no, am I starting a cheesesteak war??? also what other good eats is Philly known for?
thanks:)

Hi

I need to get from Levittown to Philadelphia airport on a weekday in June. SEPTA would be a good alternative, but I need to be there pretty early. Is there a shuttle service or minicab service I can use?
Thanks

I hate to make two post but I just realized that the Wissahickon Creek area is very close to where I will be visiting while in Philly. I can walk there from where I will be staying and apparently it is a nice area! I am wondering what trails or things like that are the best in the area! Also - any suggestions for photography?

Philadelphia What to do in walking distance to Osborne St (near Fairmount Park)?
Posted: Sat March 21, 2009 06:00 AM UTC
I will be in Philly for a little over a week staying at a friends house. I will be staying on Osborne Street but will be without a car. I am trying to find things to do to keep busy during the day. I see that it is close to Fairmount Park. I guess more or less I am wondering if there are any neat things to do that are close (walking distance) to this area. I am up for shopping (also, are there any good bead shops close?), hiking, nature type things... parks, etc.

Also... I might be able to be droped off somewhere to spend the day... with this in mind I was wondering what are some of the really great things to do in Fairmount Park? Keep in mind I love nature, hiking & photography!

Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help me out with this!

Philadelphia Location of The Four Seasons: A Bit Out of the Way?
Posted: Tue March 10, 2009 11:06 PM UTC
I know that there is an endless debate over where to stay in Philadelphia- The Four Seasons or The Rittenhouse. Like with anything else both seem to have pros and con. Up until a day ago, I had settled on The Rittenhouse for room size and location. That is until The Four Seasons extended their 3 nights for the price of 2 promotion.

I'll be in Philadelphia for three nights in April. Easy access to the Kimmel Center is a must. I'm sure the Four Seasons is gorgeous, and I can live with the smaller rooms, but I'm really worried about the location. It sounds a bit remote. According to the concierge, it is at least a three block walk to anything. Public transport isn't really an option. I'd be dependent on foot, cab and hotel limo (provided it is available).

Any feedback on the location of The Four Seasons would be appreciated. Am I making this sound worse than it is? Or, is it doable? Many thanks!

Philadelphia Visiting Philly in May
Posted: Sat March 7, 2009 08:26 PM UTC
My husband and I will be visiting philadelphia w/our 2yr old in May. We're not sure on renting a car or not.... is it better to rent a car and stay on the outskirts of the city to get a better price on hotels and drive in to take the city tours or are there some good family friendly hotels in the center of city?
We were also thinking about traveling to New York City for a day.... any tips or ideas on getting there??

Thanks in advance for any information!!

Philadelphia Lodging Info
Posted: Tue February 17, 2009 03:27 AM UTC
I want to fly in, for the flower show. Been to Philadelphia before, but drove. As time is short, I'm flying in, it's cheaper than driving. If I stay near the airport, should I rent a car, or just take public transportation? I'll just be attending the Flower show, and going to Reading Terminal. As the flower show closes at 9:30, I'm concerned about public transportation, at night. I assume that the convention center has lots of public parking. I live near Detroit, so, I'm always aware of my surroundings. Thanks!!!

Gettysburg Gettysburg for Valentine's Day?
Posted: Mon January 12, 2009 03:23 PM UTC
My husband recently expressed a desire to visit Gettysburg again (we haven't been in a long while, and then just on a day trip). I thought it might be fun to visit over the Valentine's Day weekend, which is also the weekend of his birthday.

Is this going to be a good time to visit? I don't know if Gettysburg is considered a particularly romantic getaway, but one never knows. Should I anticipate crowds or anything out of the ordinary? I know it'll be cold and I'm prepared for that. Can anyone recommend a quiet hotel that's convenient to the battlefield, and is there a particular place to eat that would also be quiet but romantic and/or historic? Any other tips would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help and advice!

Philadelphia Help With Philadelphia 5 Star Hotel
Posted: Sun January 11, 2009 10:58 PM UTC
I'm going to be in Philadelphia for a long weekend in May. Proximity to the Kimmel Center is key. I'm looking at luxury properties and have narrowed my choices to a Deluxe Room at The Rittenhouse or a Park Deluxe King at The Bellevue. I've read mixed reviews for both. "Tired" is a word that keeps coming up for both. Has anyone stayed at either recently? Also, how does the Ritz-Carlton compare. I get the impression the rooms are small. I've ruled out the Four Seasons based on location. Thanks!

Philadelphia This Friday evening
Posted: Thu December 18, 2008 01:05 AM UTC
I am driving my kids to a concert in Camden, dropping them off at 6:00, and picking them up at 11:00.

Any offbeat suggestions in between? Anywhere I could catch some Flamenco, or Fado, or even Mariachi?

Or should I just go see Australia at the nearest multiplex?
