Every time we are there for the florida game and go to O'Charley's on cumberland ave. we run into people we knew in college and in many cases haven't seen since — I've been done for 6 years, he's been done for 16.

Myself and the SO are going, never have met up with any BN group because we usually have too big of a group of our own. For this, tho, it's looking like just us. The Hooters pool is now home to the Nippers Bar - Las Vegas - fashioned off the original, www.nippersbar.com , where they shoot the swimsu...

Harry's Seafood Grille in the downtown area is a favorite among friends who are seafood eaters (I'm a veggie). I also loved Emiliano's, in the same area. Go to breakfast at Ivy Grill in the Publix shopping center at 34th and University. Hit Burrito Brothers is a must-do on friday or sunday (saturday...

Hi guys — we're going, with our own little group, but I lurk and was hoping someone might be able to help. I HAVE a hotel, the holiday inn manassas battlefield. However, my parents (we're dog sitting for them) didn't get take the dog to the vet to get her kennel cough shot and now we can't get a ken...

Great Guana Cay in the Abacos, Bahamas. My parents have a vacation cottage there (www.lilgecko.com). It's not for everyone (no spas, no luxury establishements, just fish, drink, swim and enjoy the sun). The most dressed up you get is to throw on flipflops and a tank top for the "fancy" res...

i gotta throw a request in for someone to go check out the Nippers Bar at the new Hooters Casino. I'm a huuuuuuge fan of the original (www.nippersbar.com), which is in the Bahamas, and they've recently opened a sister bar at the Hooters (the owner of Nippers-the original has a close relationship wit...

It's nice ... can't beat the location and it's clean/comfortable. But not luxury. The rooms are small, electric outlets are lacking (we unplugged a light so we could charge one cell at a time) and there are no televisions in the rooms. That said, I'd stay there again in a heartbeat - the people are ...

What is he just now opening then?

I think pat croce's Pirate Museum should now be open. I know the hurricanes pushed them back, but I'm thinking it was to the end of january/early February.

No idea if it's any good though - but it could be fun.

Hey Dem ... It was a great spot ... the pond on the property is stocked for fishing (not to mention other great fishing in the area), we rented mountain bikes and did some pretty intensive riding, but if you're not into that yuou could still rent and do a scenic ride: The guys at Blackwater Bikes kn...

My favorites for scenic stuff. Biased, though, because we're mountain bikers/hikers/etc. so we go away from the big crowds and to the mountains: Links to most may be found in my Webshots Lake Placid, New York Lake George, New York Davis, WVa (www.blackbearwv.com is affordable, comfortable and nice f...

yeah, it's enjoyable for something different. Personally, we either stay at NAS key west or la concha ... we don't do fancy, we do stumbling distance (or in the case of NAS key west during fantasy fest, the fact that 3-bedroom condos are $40, with kitchens)

Any of the upscale chains are very nice and a safe bet. Or look into the sunset key cottages (I think the ferry runs 24 hours). The reach is walkable, but not a lot: I'd say 20 minutes or so through the gay part of town (always makes my SO nervous) and we go at a pretty decent clip. I'd say not to e...

Our favorites are Oragami for sushi, PT Late Nights for good all-around food and sporting events (I just really like that place for some reason), Willie T's on Duval for creative, reasonable lunch-type food (very good dinners too). Blue Heaven of course for breakfast, the Crepe place for breakfast o...

spainjane - i'm guessing whomever said that meant from fll to florida city - really depends on time of the day ... lots of tolls through miami, which can be a huge hassle if it's rush hour. We usually don't have a problem, though. Then again, we usually come in late.

good luck

May I encourage people, if they can, to wait a day or two to call the hotels? Business owners - and their employees - are using today to assess business/personal damage and take care of immediate needs. As for tipping, I usually run a tab and tip 20 percent as long as the service is acceptible. I fi...
