Sacramento Travel Forum

I am looking for an RV park in the greater Sacramento area. Previously we stayed at the KOA in west Sac (not impressed). Is there camping at Cal Expo? We will be in Sacramento in the Nov. for a month or so.

Where is the statute of Our Lady of Mercy or Catherine McAuley the foundress of the Mercy Order of sisters in the capitol.

Is the water taxi, the Otter, currently in operation?

Aloha,

My mother will be arriving in Sacramento from Honolulu at around 9:30 pm and will need to be at the Greyhound Station (715 L ST SACRAMENTO, CA) to catch a bus that departs at 12:15 am.

Can anyone tell me the best and safest way for her to get there and please suggest any stops she could make to get a warm bite to eat and a snack for her bus ride. She will be going to Redding, CA. a 2 hr 40 min ride.

Thank you in advance!

I will be visiting Sacramento in April. Can anyone give me some tips -- hotels, sight seeing, shopping. etc. How far is it to Tahoe. Are there any casinos in the area? Thanks

I am looking for venues for mostly original solo (guitar & vocals) work. I'd like to know where it's going on, including open mike nights.

Do you have guided tours through the Capitol building in GERMAN on Saturdays?
If so, is it necessary to sign up?

There will be a group of 8 Germans visiting on Saturday, May 19th. Only one speaks English but she doesn't know the history of our glorious Capitol.

Anxiously awaiting your answer.

When was the museum first established?

Which is the best way in getting to Navada City from SF or LA, then on to Seattle. Rental car, bus etc and how long would it take.

Hi,
How do I get to downtown Sacramento from San Francisco Airport if I don't drive? Is there a coach I can take? Trains? What about cabs?

I am not american, and would probably get lost if I try to drive in the US.

Thanks for all advise.

Just wondering...Is Sacramento so dull that no one has any questions about it? Or, is it so well known that no one has any questions about it?

I need suggestions of good restaurants that hold Mother's Day brunches.
Thank you in advance!

I have lost track of where my friend Alison Mc Manus lives. She got married maybe 10 years ago (or so) and her married name is Allen. Last address I had for her was in Davis. Her mom's name is Pat MC Manus, and I think her dad's name was Mike. She also has a brothers and sisters - Mike, Brian, Cindy, another sister, older. Can't remember her name. Thanks for any help.

My husband and I and another couple are going to dinner tonight at the new Melting Pot off Blue Oak in Rocklin. Are there any places near there to have a drink after? Something with live music maybe, kind of low key like jazz or blues? Thanks for any ideas!

Hello,

I’ve got a job offer in the Roseville/Rocklin area and am looking for an apartment. I have checked websites like (apartmentratings.com) and have not had much luck locating something nice. Many of the apartment tenants reported crimes such as drugs and auto theft at many of the places there.

Can anyone recommend a decent place? I’m a single guy in need of a one bed one bath unit within a 30 minute commute of Roseville? I don’t mind paying a little extra but it must be in a clean, safe and respectable environment. My preference is for basic amenities such as off street parking, nearby laundromat and well maintained premises. I don’t need the pool or fitness center.

Thanks

can anyone recommend a good restaurant in sacramento? am traveling there for the first time this week. near the airport would be good.

Fiancee and I are consdiring last-minute changes to our plans, leaving the Sacramento area for LA via 49/99 instead of 5. So...

1) What is the most scenic part of 49?
2) Should we start in Placerville, or in Auburn? ( Auburn requires about 15 miles backtracking for us )
3 ) At what point should we leave 49 and cross over to 99? Mariposa? Oakhurst?

Any advice is welcome. We'll leave Monday morning. Thanks.

Fiance and I are planning to go rafting in September. Any comments/suggetsions are welcome. In particular: 1) Are there any rafting companies that you would recommend or not recommend? 2) What are the relative advantages of staying in Auburn vs Sacramento ( or any third place )?
Thanks

I really want to go and visit my family in Sacrament again but I also now that it will be really hot!! What's the usual temerature in Sacramento these months?

Hi Folks,

I'm from Australia and this trip to the USA will be the first time I have driven on the "wrong side" of the road (yes I know!!)

How hard will it be to drive from Sacramento Airport to get on the main road to Groveland (near Yosemite).

Then I have to come back from Groveland and get to Davis -

Are these routes likely to be well marked - any big surprise turns etc? I am going to be working hard to keep concentrating ("keep right, keep right")

Thanks for your help

Thanks,

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced hotel in Sacramento that offers a lot of good cable stations? Many hotels seem to say "cable" but only offer a few basic channels. I'm especially interested in Animal planet, E!, A&E and Style and good networks. Anyone have any info? Thanks for the tip!

My husband and I are moving to Sacramento, and would love some suggestions on where to live. We will be working downtown, so we would like to live relatively close (10-15 min commute)....we are in our mid 30's and have 2 dogs, and are looking for a funky neighborhood, with at least a few good restaurants, cafe's etc. THANKS

would the econo lodge in downtown be any good for a place to sleep/shower?

i.e. not in the middle of a ghetto.

easy to get to old sacramento?

Thanks guys.

I am going to be relocating to California at the end of April. I have set my sights on Southern California such as San Diego, however I may have a possible job offer in Sacramento. I am not sure if Sacramento is really where I want to be. I would like to get some comparisons maybe from people who have lived both in North and South California. I wanted to stay South mainly because of the beaches, so is there any beach life within an hour or so of Sacramento? I know San Francisco is not too far, do people hang out at the beach in San Fran.? Any advice or information about Sacramento would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

Is there any chance of live music in Sacramento?

Is there a cool district for bars etc..?

Thanks,
Ed.

Hello there,

I am planning on visiting Sacramento on my USA trip and was wondering if the Best Value Old Town Inn is any good, as it is very cheap?

Cheers dudes.

I am planning on moving to Sacramento (from the cold midwest....brrrr) in a few months. I am a 28 year old architectural designer looking to live near a trendy, urban area of Sacramento. Are there any other loceles besides downtown Sacramento to consider? Any suggestions would help greatly.
