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.

Colleges.ugh.decision time.help!please?
im deciding between sonoma state and humboldt state.
my mom wants me to go to sonoma, mostly because its closer (about an hour away).
*the pros:
close to home
sunny weather
nice dorms
better reputation

*cons:
-Rohnert Park (the town its in) is sooooo boring!it’s deff not a college town. its in the suburbs and all they have is like a bunch of chainstores. i HATE that kind of environment. and i heard the town is full of a bunch of old people who always call the cops
-commuter campus..half the people leave on weekends, which means i probably will. but i want to go to a college that will be my HOME not a home away from home.

Humboldt
pros:
-downright beautiful campus and area. redwood trees everywhere.
-the smell of fresh, clean air (lots of trees=more oxygen)
-people there are SO nice! just a bunch of chill people
-dont need a car because most things are within walking distance
-residential campus–it will be my home. and i hope to live in that area after i graduate.
-the town is very college friendly–its a college town! lots of college-centered things
-in general, i just love the town its in (Arcata, CA)
-the food is mostly organic and fresh (grown right in the area)

cons:
-bad weather–it rains most of the year :/ (although i dont really care)
-when people think humboldt, they think weed

im not too concerned about the reputations because im going into nursing and they dont really care where you graduate from, employers care more about the grades you got.

ugh!!so hard.
do i go to a school i downright love and cant wait to go to even though it rains
or
do i go to a school my parents favor thats closer to home and has nicer weather?

what would you do in my situation?

I’m trying to earn ,000 for a trip to northern California so i can meet the to meat the author of my favorite book. this trip is really important to me and i am determined to do whatever it takes to get to california to meet her. anyway, i’m a teen and have experience with doing jobs like watching pets while someone is one vacation or watering plants for some of my neighbors. however i’m trying to get more clients, so i can earn enough money for the trip. anyway, i’m making fliers to pass out, but i’m not really sure what to put on to make people want to trust me with their children, pets, or plants. any ideas? also, i worried that people might be irritated by the fliers, and not want to use me. what do you think? thanks!

If i transfer from one community college to another will the credits transfer too?

i was planning on taking summer classes at Deanza to get a head start on transfer planning, but i might move to redwood city by fall semester, and attend a community college there. If i do, will the classes i already took count at the new college towards transferring to a UC?

Anyone here work with wood siding? My house is circa 1916 and I will need to replace sections with new siding. So rare now to see redwood siding ! Am I going to have trouble matching the pattern for such an old house? If so, anyone know of sources for old siding? In SF Bay Area if that helps.

Okay so I’m taking a 1-2 week vacation with my older sister all around California and I don’t know where to go. Please help me and be specific. For example, if you said Hollywood then say where in hollywood and what places. (ie: walk of fame, hollywood bowl) Oh and it can be anywhere in california that I can drive. Thanks!
I don’t only want to visit beaches I also want to visit real places that might be away from the coast too. thanks

My fiance and I are getting married in April 2011, and we are planning to leave on our honeymoon the 2nd week in May. We are taking off for a couple weeks and going on a Road Trip! We live in South East Michigan and plan on driving into Northern California, driving South on the Pacific Coast Highway until L.A. From there we will spend a few days in Vegas and then Head back Home. We don’t necessarily plan on stopping everywhere for a couple days…we mainly want to drive South on the PCH for the views…I hear the are incredible. I would like our main stays to be a couple days each on a couple beach cities and a couple days in Vegas. The rest we will just be stopping, sight seeing, etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions for us??? Places we just HAVE to see, restaurants along the way we HAVE to try??? I really appreciate any input.

Thanks ( :

I’m 14 going on vacation with my parents to California. I have never been before, but my dad lived there so her knows alot, but he wants me to research what I wanna do on the trip. We are going to San Francisco, San Jose area (visiting family), LA Area, Santa Monica, and I’m not sure where else. I am open to going almost anywhere in the state, so if you know of anything cool let me know!
