    How far Huntington to Los Angeles airport

    Hey! I live about 2 miles from the Huntington Hilton!!! If your flight leaves at 10:30am, you MUST leave the hotel by 6:30am. I say this because RUSH hour begins at about 7:00am and you do not want to be stuck in traffic. Plus you have to drop off your rental car, go through security and eat a...

    Just returned from WDW. Kids prefer Disneyland!!

    The problem is that WDW is soooo large that you have to do a lot of walking or use the Monorail to get to one place to another. When I went to WDW it was so hot and humid and WDW has NO drinking fountains availabel so that forced you to purchase drinks when you were thirsty. I love EPCOT...

    Rudeness in Dis Park!!

    At Disneyland, whenever you feel a Cast Member was rude or did not portray the Disney Spirit, ALWAYS ask to speak with a member of Management and make sure you give the Cast Members name (it's on their badge). I know for a fact that Disney management does not condone poor service regardless...

    Anyone in the TEMECULA area?

    My recommendation would be to rent or rent with an option to purchase. The distance from your husband's new employment will be about 30-45 minutes. Be aware the traffic can be terrible so also take that into consideration. Have you looked at Mira Loma, Norco, Corona? There are some new...

    Temecula and the Riverside areas are booming in new home developments BUT the question is where is your employment going to be located in? Do you like heat because in the summers Temecula can get hot in the 100º plus for months. I live in Newport Beach and know a lot of colleagues who commute...

    Safe hotel near Dodgers Stadium

    If you are staying in Downtown, the Bonaventure Hotel or Wilshire Hilton will be your best bets. The area near Dodger Stadium is not in a great community.
