Which Waterpark is better: Indiana Beach or Cedar Point's Soak City?
We are wondering where to go and would love some advice on the best water park to travel to. We live in Fort Wayne and have never been to Indiana Beach. Anybody been to both and can compare?

You can take a train to China from Europe (but not Africa) on the Trans-Siberian Railway, which goes through Russia. It takes six days from Moscow to Beijing. How much time do you have? I'd say if you can, backpack for a few weeks on each continent to fully experience the cultures. You can take a ferry from Spain (Algeciras) to Morocco (Tangiers), it only takes a few hours. I've taken it before. Morocco is a fun place to start off in Africa, cheap and they have a decent tourism industry so English is understood in say more popular places, like Marrakesh. Helps if you speak French though.

The rocks underlying you are full of fossils. However, it's the getting to them that is difficult, because the land is covered by debris from the last glacial age. There are areas in southwestern Indiana, near the Ohio border, that should have rocks that are extremely fossiliferous exposed at the surface (these are from the Cincinnatian series of rocks (about 400 million years or so in age). These rocks can contain abundant brachiopods, cephalopods, gastropods, trilobites, and other marine critters). In northwestern Ohio there are rock quarries, but you probably would get ejected from them, for trespassing (safety concerns, even after they are closed). I would suggest talking to someone at the geology department of a nearby university (isn't Ball State close?). I went to a university in NW Ohio, for my MS degree, and there were many local areas for rock and fossil collection. If you want to just go and see what you can find, then your best bet is southeastern Indiana/southwestern Ohio, for proximity. Neither should be more than about 2 hours travel time, and I'm sure your child would love it.

About How much over the speed limit do police normally allow
How much over the speed limit do police normally allow?
I live in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I normally go the speed limit, but when I do, I normally get tailgated, honked at, or flipped-off. How much does the FWPD or any police allow (cushion) you to travel over the speed limit on normal city or suburban streets? I don't mean in school zones or construction zones because I always go the speed limit just in case someone runs out in front of me and I know police are very strict in these areas.

for city/suburban roads, you can usually do about 5 over the limit. i've actually known people that got pulled over for driving exactly the speed limit, the cops said they looked suspicious for doing so. go figure.
2 :
usually the cushion is 5 miles over. but 8+ over can almost guarantee a ticket. (at least in tx)
3 :
usually about five but it depends on the cops mood.
4 :
I always go about 5 over.

Well, in my town it's zero. It's a speed limit, not a speed suggestion. What makes me laugh are the people who get pulled over and they whine that they were "going with the flow of traffic"-that law isn't to allow you to speed if everyone else is-it's intended for you to go BELOW the speed limit if the flow of traffic is lower than the posted limit. It's never okay to speed, and there's very good reasons the limits are posted as they are.

It all depends on the town. Stick to the limit if you are new there. Through learning, you will find out that in like Kenneth City, FL. one can get a ticket for 3 over. But then, on I285 around Atlanta, 'the flow' is about 70 and the signs read 55....it's a real joke. If anyone is going 55, they get run over...lol
8 :
In Texas, it is normally 10 over, except for school zones, then it is zero. Some small towns may stop you for anything over if they are a speed trap town, but the general rule on the highways of Texas is everyone does 10 over and they don't get stopped.
9 :
5 miles over 5 miles under
10 :
It depends on the agency and the officer. Legally police officers can issue a citation for 1MPH over, but normally that is not the case. Ask other drivers in the area you know what speed they normally drive at and if they have been issued citations for speed and how fast they were going.
11 :
Where I live it's generally 10 over on the highways and about 5 over in residential areas.

About I need some advice for traveling through New York City and Long Island.
I need some advice for traveling through New York City and Long Island.?
Hi, I am traveling from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Long Island, New York to buy a car - I know - long way for a car, but this is my dream car. Basically, I just need to get out there...I can drive the new car back home. I have never traveled out east before, and I am looking for the best/cheapest way to get there. I can drive out with a friend, and drive separately back home...I can fly one-way to JFK or ISP...I can take an Amtrak train out there...I can rent a car, etc. etc. There are a lot of options. What would you recommend is the easiest/cheapest way to get to Long Island? Also, if I arrive at say, Penn Station or JFK Airport, how do I get to the island? Where would I go to find info about taxis, buses, or trains from the Manhattan to Long Island? Is there anyone familiar with NYC that can tell me the most efficient means of getting from the City and/or JFK to Islip on Long Island (buses, trains, etc.)? Thanks so much for your help.

If you're going to Islip, fly into ISP (Long Island-MacArthur airport). It's actually IN Islip. Then you'll only have to drive through the City once (on your way out). The good news is, ISP is serviced by Southwest, among others. SW will let you buy a one-way ticket without charging you a mountain of fees. There are taxis at the airport and hotels in the area. Good luck with the car!
2 :
well all those ways are good but I would take a plane then get the train out to the island. it would be faster than trying to drive. you need to make sure you hit the right train either to Nas. or Suf. county. when you get off the plane take the metro rail( don't remember wich line) but it takes you straight to the long island railroad

Take Amtrak from Fort Wayne to Penn Station in New York City, where It's located beneath Madison Square Garden, in Midtown Manhattan then follow signs directly for Long Island Rail Road Trains then take the Ronkonkoma Branch Line to the Central Islip Station with connections to buses and taxicabs. http://www.amtrak.com http://www.mta.info http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/lirr/html/ttn/centrali.htm
