Im 15. My family is trying to find a place to take a vacation but we dont know where to go. My dad has enough air miles from business trips that we can fly about anywhere in the US except hawaii for free, which is pretty cool. Without those miles we couldnt afford a trip by air.
So the thing is, we are looking for a place with great sights. Not tons of people. A few years ago we went to northern california which was great. The coast there was amazing. And also we went up to new york, phili, maine, all that by driving.

We only have about 2 ideas for places to go…Washington (state) and Florida…We cant get out of the country though so dont say that.

So.. List where you would want to go in the U.S. and Why?
@Tabetha, ahhh sorry i forgot to put it in there. We already went there!! same place! sorry lol forgot to put that in.

The trip is planned for late October and I would prefer that it be as accessible to a major city as we will have to fly in.

My fiance and I are getting married August 28. We are looking to go on our honeymoon either a couple days after that, or we can depart later, up to two weeks after our wedding.

We are looking to go on vacation for 6 or 7 days. We like to snorkel, dive, hike, swim, etc. Nightlife is fine, but what we really want are fun recreational things to do. Also a decent hotel, like the Westin, Hyatt, etc. I looked on Expedia, etc. and we can find some nice places in Cancun for less than 0/person including flight and stay at a Hyatt. This sounds good to me. But the flight is 11 hours long from Sacramento, California to Cancun. I would like a shorter flight if possible. So maybe somewhere closer to California, but still in Mexico. Does anybody have a recommendation on which city to go to, where to stay, and somewhere that doesn’t take 10 or 11 hours to fly to from Northern California, and that is not too expensive.

Thank you.

Ok..so in the summer I am moving to Alaska. Then I am getting a Ferret(don’t worry I have been doing research on them for months : ) ) Now I live in California. Probably the summer of 09 I will come back to visit in California for like a month. Can my Ferret come? I know there illegal to own and purchase in California but what about visiting. A month or more is an awful long time to be away from a pet.
I’m worried whether they would let my ferret fly to California..

other than, obviously, penguins can’t fly and other birds can.

Also, how did the geographic distribution of the humboldt penguin come to be?

We will be vacationing in Northern California and Oregon. We plan to fly into Sacramento and drive to Crater Lake. I’d like to stay in one of those big ‘ol hotels – like The Overlook in the film The Shining. I’m hoping that there is something like this three hours or less north of Sacramento where we can spend our first and last night. So far a net search is pulling up nothing except corporate chains and small, low budget, privately owned accommodations. To elaborate: We plan to do a lot of hiking and camping. We have a lot of gear and I’m considering packing it into a crate and shipping it to the hotel so that it will arrive in advance. The corporate chain hotels usually can’t be bothered with this kind of thing. Privately owned hotels, particularly the more luxurious ones, will usually go a great deal further to please their clients. In addition, we’d like the ambiance of of one of the grand old hotels and considering that we will be spending quite a few nights in a tent we will be able to blow some cash on a pricey hotel and will appreciate the comfort at the end of our wilderness sojourn.

Let me explain.
About a yr ago, my Mom’s best friends son announced he is getting married (he’s 38). We were childhood friends, but by the time we reached high school, he had his friends, I had mine and we drifted a-part. Besides, his wedding is in Northern California (Mid April) and I live in Chicago, IL. My Mom and Step Dad are flying out there and extending their trip, after the wedding to drive down the coast and visit my sister and her family.

For the past year, my inlaws have had a family vacation planned for us in Disney World, Florida (Late March). Very expensive, as were going during Easter time.

So, about 2 wks ago I told my Mom that we can’t swing the airfare and hotel to fly to CA for this wedding and she flew off the handle. She said, if you can afford to go to Disney World, you can afford to come to CA for this wedding. I disagree with her. I’m an Adult. I haven’t seen this guy in over 12 yrs. Ok, he invites me to his wedding, so what…
Your opinion? What do you think?
I’m a MAN, not a Women

A few close girlfriends and I are trying to go on a vacation to california probably around March or April. I’ve never been yet, but I’m so excited to finally get to go! They’ve flown into Long Beach Airport before– which is where we’ll probably fly into again. Does anyone have suggestions on what we should do during our vacation? Best beach? Hotel? Nightclub? Restaurant? (Oh, and what’s the weather like around then?) When I leave I want to feel like I’ve had the full out California experience.

Thanks so much!!

My idea is to fly into northern California or souther Oregon, rent a car, (preferably a convertible) and just drive down the PCH with my wife. Any tips or suggestions on where to stop and where to stay or eat?
