Probably travel forward in time to find out all the winning numbers and then go back and collect them........d;o) (I need to go with them....)

No advance reservation is needed for shuttle or taxi service to the Strip Hotels. Yes, you go outside the baggage reclaim area of exits 7 through 13 for shuttle service. Taxi service are exit gates 1 through 4. $6.00 to $6.50 per person for shuttle (several companies) and the average cost to a strip hotel for a taxi is between $15-$20 dollars. Remember that the taxi fare is for up to 5 people and it is the fastest way to a strip Hotel.

Welcome - our winters have been getting a little colder as of late. We have had a couple of snows so far - but we are much more mild than the rest of the state. Right now there is no snow and we are having an Indian Summer with temps in the 50's and 60's. Having lived in Washington and Oregon I can assure you that these temps do not feel as bad as they do there. Winters usually drop to the cold temps (0 or below) for a few...

The redwoods run all along the coastal mountains (and, generally, US 101) in northern California, starting around San Francisco and up until about Crescent City. The most famous spots, with some of the largest trees, are by Klamath, which is north of Eureka. But it's also a sparsely populated, sparsely developed, somewhat anti-corporate chain region, so Marriott properties are few and far between. It looks like there's a...

That's a couple of long drives, to go from Dallas to Denver to Vegas- would you go back to the west coast to fly back? or try to return to Dallas? The drive from Denver to Vegas would take you right across the Continental Divide, and through the Rocky Mountains. Going through Utah, you could visit the Arches National Park, Bryce CAnyon Natl. Park and Zion Natl. Park. All three are some of the most beautiful and notewaorthy national...

I will try to get some information to you on wheelchair accessibility in Chicago. I do some work with the Wheelchair Bulls Basketball team and have some contacts who I will ask for some information and/or website links. It may take a day or two for them to respond.

I typically use hotels.com for a combo flight and hotel package you need to decide if you want to stay on the strip, or downtown, or off the beaten path I like staying at the main intersection of the Wynn, Treasure Island, Venetian/Pallazo, and Fashion Island shopping center - lots of activity there TI is the cheapest, however, you can get deals if you look - I once got the Wynn for $49/night Golden Nuggett has some $49/39 deals too and its a...

The first time I was in New York I was on my own. No internet websites then! It was in many ways quite a daunting experience. The hotel lobby had masses of information and I decided to book one of the tours that would collect me - and about 20 others from the hotel, for a very full day's tour. It was the right decision. I guess most people were in pairs but there were about 6 solo travellers. The on-board guide was excellent and I...

Helmets, long pants, and if possible a leather jacket! One of the dental hygienists I visit told me the story of how she and her husband were propelled off the bike, and how her skin and head were saved by the leather jacket and helmet. Hearing her story I cannot imagine anyone ever wanting to ride without the proper equipment.

NYC has so many restaurants running the gamut in price range. For the big splurge The River Cafe, at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge. Fresh seafood- Oyster Bar in Grand Central Terminal. For Italian right in Times Sq, Carmine's- it's touristy, but the food is still excellent. Or in Greenwich Village Rocco Rest, 181 Thompson St. Actually a good place to find a variety of good restaurants is Bleecker St, many of them ethnic,...
