I’m a sophomore and I’m considering going to Humboldt State University for undergrad and then to UC Berkeley for grad school. Would this be a good decision? Are they both academically good schools? And what is the social life like in both places?
I have a choice of staying at the following hotels and am not sure about which one. I’ve heard mixed reviews about all of them and am quite scared to stay at any of them. Here they are:
Tahitian Inn
Clarion Near Busch Gardens
Westshore Hotel
Sailport Waterfront Suites
my bf built a tree-house in more than one tree. He bolted a wood platform to the three trees about 15ft up. two of the trees are redwoods and the third is a liquid amber and all the trees are about 20 yrs. old.
There is a storm coming tonight with 40 mph winds …so we will see.
My husband and I are planning a small, 3 day getaway in California. We need some ideas on places to go and or stay. It doesn’t have to be a beach destination, but any suggestions would be great. We DO NOT want to go to San Fransisco, as we have been there before. This is a "romantic" mini-vacation without the kids, if that helps…thanks! 🙂
hi i would like to know best travel from Residence Inn Orlando SeaWorld/International Center, 11000 Westwood Boulevard,
Orlando, Florida 32821 to busch gardens & adventure island
I asked this question before but didn’t get many answers, and none that were really helpful. I am looking for a small venue in the mountains (Berkshires or Catskills…possibly Adirondacks if it’s absolutely perfect) for about 75-100 people where I could do the ceremony and the reception outside (with a tent). Maybe a big garden and/or a lake…something beautiful. I’m not on a tight budget. Does anyone have any ideas? Inns or Bed and Breakfasts? Anything? Does anyone know of a place to look for this type of thing? I’ve looked on google, but I feel like I must be missing a ton of them. Why don’t the websites like theknot.com have better ways of finding venues? (That part was rhetorical… 🙂 )
Thank you!!!!
What’s a good way to organize a trip like that…Rent a car? prebook with travel agent. Plan our own trip? how long to stay in each place. What are some things we should see…we love music, dining out and shopping
My family owns 8 secluded acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains, but really… once I go up there, there’s no much to do. We usually bring beers and pellet guns.. but what else is there? Is there something fairly easy to make out of fallen down trees (redwoods, madrones, furs)? I need ideas!
Martinique
About the country:
Martinique is an island between the Caribbean sea and North Atlantice Ocean of Trinidad and Tobago.
The climate is tropical. The temperature is 17.3 C, and it’s humid. Martinique also has a dormant volcano, named Mont Pelee.
The best time to go to Martinique is during February to May, when temperatures are about 85 degrees F. Keep in mind that this is the peak tourist season, so everything is expensive and crowded.
The places to go visit are:
Fort-de-France, the capital, is wonderful to explore on foot. Among the sightseeing attractions is the city’s architectural masterpiece, the Bibliothèque Schoelcher, or Schoelcher Library, a Romanesque-Byzantine gem built 100 years ago for the Paris Exposition of 1889, then dismantled and shipped to Martinique mosaic by mosaic. Named for Victor Schoelcher, the French abolitionist whose work helped end slavery on the island in 1848, it sits just off La Savane, the central park.
The capital’s narrow balconied streets, lined with shops and restaurants, all lead to a pleasant discoveries, including the Cathedral of Saint-Louis, the Palais de Justice with its statue of Victor SchÅ“lcher, the Musée Départemental with archeological finds from prehistoric Martinique and the Rivière Madame with its busy fish markets. There are reasonably-priced guided walking tours of Fort-de-France if you would like to learn more about he city.
You can also go see
Le Gauguin Museum which has paintings from Gaugui.
The Zoo du Carbet which was newly renovated and has animals from the Caribbean, the Amazon and Africa.
The Carbet Botanical Garden also known as the ”Valley of the Butterflies."
La Trace: a dazzling route through the rain forest. This mountainous northern half of the island is also lush with banana and pineapple plantations, avocado groves, cane fields, and several lovely old island inns such as Habitation Lagrange.
Le Precheur: the last village along the northern Caribbean coast, known for hot springs of volcanic origin and the Tomb of the Carib Indians.
Ajoupa Bouillon: enchanting flower-lined town with a nature trail called Les Ombrages and, nearby, the Gorges de la Falaise, mini-canyons along the Falaise River, lead to a waterfall.
