Planning a mini vacation to either San Diego or Vegas, coming from Northern California. Which would you recommend, and what would you recommend doing there? I’m not a gambler but would love to see the shows etc. and I love the beach to site see and take a sail boat ride etc. Hmmm what’s your opinion?

i am going on vacation soon and every year it is really apathetic. i am terribly morose right now because my family is not the most technological advanced family. the closest thing we own to modern technology is this computer and some DVD players. we do not have PS2 or XBOX or any of those kinds of stuff. so i really want a nintendo ds and a nintendog to go with it but my dad is really hard to convince and i go on vacation in about two days. i have even offered the money to buy it but my mom says i cannot get one unless my dad says yes. my dad is the type of caring person but is really strict on money and how we spend it. please help me and do not put dumb things saying that i do not need one. can you help me get a nintendo ds and a nintendog before i go on vacation? oh yes, and i will NOT go out and buy it on my own because my parents WILL take it away. my father is also convinced that modern technology is not needed. it is like trying to move a huge redwood that is 800 years old….
my parents are " considering " buying me one, but i highly doubt it. but if they do, i dont want to have my money wasted by already buying one.

Arizona and New Mexico, then make our way back home, for a huge vacation next year. I’ve never driven so far before, and am wondering if I would be getting in over my head with so much driving. How long should I take off work to do it? I do want to make stops along the way, of course, to see the sights, like Yellowstone maybe, the giant redwoods, San Francisco, etc. Anyone out there ever done something similar? How many miles per day should I expect to drive? And how much would such a trip cost? I know that would depend on what we do, etc.

We will be traveling between San Francisco and LA in February. We’d like to see the redwoods and have heard good things about both Muir Woods and Henry Cowell State Park. Does anyone have an opinion on which is better. Also we’d like to go to some hot springs – as natural as possible (not just a pool in a spa) but since we are a family with one son, one daughter and one mom they need to be coed so that we can bathe together. Any ideas for this? Thanks.

I am looking for golf lessons. I have been interested for the last year, but whenever I start to look, it seems like I am getting nowhere. I am here for summer vacation and would like some local, cheap, quality lessons. I have never golfed before. I live in Redwood City, centrally located between San Jose and San Francisco about 25 minutes each. Anyone who could offer specific clubs, phones numbers, or emails would be appreciated.

Hi, im 14, and i have some redwood seedlings that i have grown from seed, i want them to grow faster and stronger than they would do naturaly, Please give me advice.

I am using a little fertaliser on them
they are about 3cm tall

That is low in cost?

Hotel with a pool, taking it easy. But I want to take my girlfriend and on a tight budget..

What are some ideas?
Okay dude.. I know all the cities names!! That didn’t help!

psychedelic drugs, i mean. what was your first trip experience? was it good or bad, how did you feel about your life afterwards?
im simply curious.

mine was a while ago on mushrooms in the Arcata Community redwood forest in Humboldt with a couple buddies, it was amazingly beautiful, a wonderful adventure through the woods, i saw things i’ll never see again, and met people i’m not entirely sure were real. At one point we chilled out for hours with a guy who was just hangin out on top of a tree. oh and the trees, birds, and the ground were talking to me haha it was a very spiritual and thought provoking experience.
and now i feel so much more centered on my life and my future, i have a fantastic grasp on life 🙂

oh and i know a lot of you are going to say drugs are bad and thats ok, thats your opinion and you are entitled to that, just don’t try to push your opinion on others who may not share that opinion please and thank you

We are looking for a good camping area near Santa Cruz in the redwood forest/grove. We want something as close to the beach as possible and would prefer to rent a cabin or cottage instead of using a tent.
