I'm thinking about driving cross country this summer and was wondering
is it feasable to drive 16 hours straight and then sleep 8? Has
anybody ever gone caost to coast, like Calif to NY without sleeping at

We'll be visiting New York for the first time next week and wondered if
we should buy tickets for a musical online or at the theatre.

I'll be driving from LA to San Francisco (H-1) this June with my wife and I was
wondering which place would you recommend for stopping by and relaxing for few
days. I'm looking for something not too crowded, with a nice beach and
