It sounds like a bit of a racket: $ 4,000 for a three-course meal and a chance to see a polo match up close.   It gets better when you throw in the chance to rub shoulders with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in southern California, where bragging about having a glass of wine with the new royal couple may be the ultimate Hollywood glamour trip.

The hotel says they have no rooms for the next night and I have to checkout. All other hotels in the city are also fully booked. Is there anything I can do to force the hotel to let me stay an extra day?

I’m going to UCSC in the fall and my brother is going to Humboldt and I think that UCSC is more of a pot school than Humboldt, but he thinks otherwise. I’ve seen more lists that have UCSC ranked high for reefer madness with Humboldt nowhere to be found on the list. On the other hand, I’ve seen a couple lists where Humboldt is ranked way higher than UCSC. Does someone have a sure answer to this question?

My boyfriend and I are going on vacation for 9 days in September 2007. I want to go to Dubai because there is a gorgeous beach with really blue water, along with an indoor ski resort, city, nightlife, shopping, sand dunes and the latest and greatest architecture! My boyfriend wants to go to a deserted island like Bora Bora where there is BEAUTIFUL, CLEAR water, but I think we would get bored after 3-4 days and I would get island fever! Anyone been on any of these two? If not, have any of these places come to your mind?

What would you choose?

If none of these appeal to you, where would you go?

BTW, my boyfriend is originally from the UK and I am Vietnamese-American (born and raised in Texas). We both reside in Northern California just to give you a background of us. Also, we have never been to either of these places.

Thanks for any of your opinions and output in advance!
