Has anyone been here?  It appears to be a very quiet, secluded place along
the shore unlike Seaside Heights, Point Pleasant.  I'm searching for a place
to visit that isn't crowded with tourists.
Many thanks,

Haven't been to NYC in years and thought we'd get a travel guide before
we go. What is the best? Any recommendations.? Would rather stay away

any place and are thus rather unreliable . Also, don't have any

4 lane a good chunk of the way. Would that be a viable (and possibly

Hey all. My wife, four kids (ranging from 4-16), and I are planning a
short trip to Quebec City in late June. Can anyone tell me if QC is a
kid-friendly place and if so, what she would try to see and do while we

I searched the Amtrak web page for info on carrying bicycles on the
train.  It was kind of vague.  Some trains have bike racks.  Some allow
you to check them with luggage.  Some allow you to take them on the

I'm off to the US in September and was looking to rent a car from Alamo as
their reates were the most reasonable. For the period Sep 3  to Sep 30 the
base rate (excluding CDW and SLI) for a Buick Lucerne was $800 - as of 2
