My family and I are going to go out of town with my cousins for Spring Break but we don't know where to go. We live in Chicago, IL and we can't fly so we need somewhere we can drive to. Probably like 4 - 5 hours drive from here. Any ideas? Thanks.
Have you been to Niagara Falls?
What type of vacationer are you? I'm a beach and big city guy.

Hmm, from Chicago, let me think here.
I hear that Nashville and Memphis have a really fun nightlife.
Cedar Point, although I'm not that big into rollercoasters.
My good friend said he loved Indianapolis, but I don't believe him.
Cleveland and Detroit are dumps.
Pittsburgh is fun, but smaller than Chicago.
I'm sure you've been to St. Louis many times.
No I've just moved here actually... and from Detroit too. Loll. But yeah. I don't know. We have to get away for lik, 3 nights. So idkk.
When are you going? Honestly, if you're into rollercoasters and the weather is nice, go to Cedar Point.
If you're not into that and into cities or beaches...
Beaches...good luck. The great lakes are TERRIBLE places for beaches. Might as well fly to the coast.
Cities...I recommend going to St. Louis, Nashville, or Memphis. All cities, I'd definitely visit and all are said to have a good nightlife and regional cuisine.
Leave, as in have your own life.

Evil Stepmother.
15, had a single mother at the time and she bailed, didn't wanna be a mom anymore. Lived with an older couple for a couple months then the school counselor helped me get emancipated to make it all legal. I was signing my own school paperwork and permission forms, bills, loans, and student aid papers before I could buy ciggs.
15 originally. My mother didn't like me spending nights with my GF of that time; so i moved in with her instead! Guess what i was doing at a time when i should have been doing my exams?
Anyway, that ended so i moved home until i was 17 when i moved out for good. Been supporting myself ever since.
Those of you that have a supportive family and good home life should stay there for as long as they'll put up with you. It's the easiest way to save money for your future.

Hell freakin yeah. Amen. It's cool to live out on your own, bring chicks back to YOUR place. But you'll be regretting that move out when you're paying for college, rent, electric, gas, insurance, booze and weed at college with the money you're making flippin burgers full time just being grateful they give you a free meal once a day. Chicks don't like dudes with no money, even if he is living at his own apt. Bring em home to the spider man sheets. Most don't care and Mom is alot more understanding than you'll ever give her credit for.
Good thing my mom is so supportive, problem is even her is having a hard time financially and I can't find a freaking job!

People usually move out when they pass out of school..
I passed out of school.. got into college in the same city so didn't have to move out.
Passed out of college and got my first job close to my home so still living with them
Will move out if my work sends me else where or if I take a job elsewhere
moved out of home when I was 18 for stydies and work then came back at 25 cause of financial crysis at my country. No job no money
Finally got a decent job and trying to save some money so i can plan my next move but it's not an easy thing cause my family bussiness is preety much ruined by this situation so i got to support them too
I'm 25 now and living at my parents house. We've been moving 3 years ago, now the whole family has to help out on that farm stuff, which will take maybe 1 or sometimes 2 weeks in a year so nothing special.
I do not have to cook myself which is probably the best thing cause when u get home after work, pretty tired and u have to cook - that's probably one thing that goes for days but not months or years
I'll stay maybe one or maybe two years here, then I'll find myself a place - atleast that's the plan, cause it's not always good to be here, and some day everyone has to go it's own way.
Wow interesting answers... I was 17 when I left. Dropped out of hs and started working 3 jobs...Couldn't stand my mom stealing all my weed and she hated me taking all her box wine and store brand vodka..hehe. but if I had a "normal family" id still be living there! Is 33 too old to live w/ your parents?

Indubitably
I'm thinking of moving out in a few years. I'm still in university and working, I'm 19 I turn 20 by the end of the year. My mom's always been a single mother since she came to Canada, so I want to be able to help her out as much as possible and even though I'm 19... I get spoiled, hahaha so I still live with her.

Not necessarily. My mother is the most shallow, obnoxious person I know. Not to mention racist and close minded.
But if someones mom (and/or dad is good (speaking generally here) THEN STAY A LONG, LONG LONG TIME... like til your thirty... Seriously. Do it.
I left at seventeen and it was VERY DIFFICULT....

2 suits? How long is the frigging baptism?
I took the plunge a few years back and had a three piece suit custom tailored for me. It fits me like a glove, as I haven't expanded or contracted since high school. But it doesn't work for every occasion, because I chose brown polyester, no lie. I look like a banker from the 70s, but I like to think I pull it off.

I've got a tux for xmas work do's, and just bought a 3 piece suit for my wedding this saturday.
£72 from Jacomo with their 25% discount on first orders
i wear a suit everyday for work. I currently own 14 suits (seven summer / seven winter) so i can have two at the dry cleaners every week while rotating through five. Then I buy 2 new suits every 10 months and ditch the oldest. Even though i live in Philly, i have a tailor in NYC who makes them for me. The pricing all depends on materials selected and since i go through them so quickly, I generally get a medium grade. Custom suits are the way to go because a good tailor can hide some little weight changes.
Oh, i also own three tuxes. Not custom, just bought them off the rack but good names like Burberry, Hickey Freeman and Boss. Had them tailored as well...
I love suits! Most of my jobs i've had through the years requires me to wear a suit, so i don't really have a choice. But i love them so it's not a problem.
I wear them for work.

I searched and didn't find a thread like this, so i figured i'd start one.
As stated in the title, this thread is for people going on vacation/traveling to places. Post your quires about a city or country here. Need some recommendations of places to visit, post here.
I'll start, since I'm going to New York, Philadelphia New Jersey and Boston next month, I need some recommendations of some places to go. I will be going with my family, so any places that are family friendly will be welcome.
Thanks in advance

I think it's got something to do with taking time off work and then travelling to places where you don't normally live. Rumour has it people crowd into public transport and onto planes, and then arrive at even more crowded places to spend a week or two crowding into 'tourist attractions' and queuing to see things.
And they pay a lot of money to do this.

You forgot to mention how most of them go to places that have lots of neon and alcohol, and they spend their time looking for native food establishments that serve the food they eat when they're not vacationing.

Strange isn't it? When i drank i could usually find a pub/restaurant/shop within a mile or two of where i lived. Never had to jump on a plane to find alcohol. Or food for that matter!
Apparently some people go for the 'sun'. Funny thing is, i've noticed that the sun often comes to me, wherever i am at the time. They'll kick themselves when they find that out!
Also, i hate the sun. Travel Agents should sell 'Rain Breaks'. Perhaps a week or two to the Amazon during monsoon season. Now that i could get on board with!

Hello,
A a Colombian citizen I would like to know what you people think about my country
well I would say don't judge based on TV series as television tend to exaggerate things to gain audience
To be frank nothing really. Why would you even ask that? Each country in the world from Micro to Macro level is contributing to human lives.
Whenever someone reminds me of Colombia I always end up thinking of the Amazon & Colombian Rainforest
Doesn't Columbia have snow capped rocky mountains and is in South America. That's all I know/care about. But I live in Australia which is pretty far away.
I know a bit since there a lot colombians here in spain

Pablo Escobar ; -)
I don’t know too much about your country. I only know about your football team and Shakira. James and Falcao are my favorite players.
Coffee
To be more precise, coffee plantations that produce crap, okay, good and really good coffee beans (something for everyone I guess).
Not much
But I could imagine the weathers real nice. Being the fact you guys are South America. Aint that like tropical climate are something. I personally would love that Weather year round. Where I'm at its cold about 6 months out of the year, kinda warm about 3 and then so-so for the other 3 months. This time of year is about Winter for us, but actually these last few days have been rather warm actually. Other than that Coffe, Shakira, Cocaine( could be Bolivia I'm thinking with that), and Nice weather are about what I think comes to mind when I think Colombia. I always thought they were warm over there. Didn't know they had snow capped mountains ( you learn something new everyday).

even more of a reason for me to like it.
Love warm weather. I wish it could be like that all year here. I hate this cold part of the year here. Allergies, colds, flus and all that crap. I can't wait till these next three months fly by so it can warm up.
see on televisión is doing very cold in usa
Yup its that time of year over here.
Colombia, well i remember your national soccer team goalkeeper, it was a dude with a lot of hair . Ofcourse, Pablo Escobar and the well known coffee
The only thing I know about Columbia is that it's home to wicked drug lords that make billions and live in mansions and have pet tigers.
I would love to make a visit.. Can't judge something I havn't seen or felt.
