About What is the cheapest way to travel

What is the cheapest way to travel?
From Washington Dc, to Lexington Kentucky? Greyhound? Train? It doesn't necessarily have to be from Dc to Lexington, anywhere in a 30 mile radius from the destination or the origin to find transportation would be just fine...I just need to find the cheapest way to get a round ticket :P Thanks. I dont have a car

cruse if you have a group off people you can get a special on that plus everything is covered once you pay drinks food everything plus the cruse makes stops so you can get off look around so even better if you travel by boat all you need is a passport card that comes out to a total of 30 bucks cheaper then a passport book but if its your first time getting a passport your looking at 55 bucks at the end totally worth it I myself is going to take a cruse and we are taking a trip to Jamaica, Miami, Cancun, and a few more places for only 460 a person for 7 days all i can say is you cant beat that

It depends if you have someone with you. But I think train is the cheapest and fastest too.

About What's the best/relatively cheap way to travel to Kentucky

What's the best/relatively cheap way to travel to Kentucky?
I'm trying to figure out a relatively cheap way to get to Lexington, Kentucky, from New Jersey. From what I've found, flying will cost me over $300, the Greyhound bus takes about 24 hours, which is too long, and Amtrak doesn't go to Lexington. It's an 11 hour drive, and I don't think my car can handle it. Any one have any ideas? Such as another train or bus system I might be able to transfer to when I get to Kentucky?

I will probably sound philosophical but it depends on what you count as cheapest. I'm reminded of the fellow that took such big steps to save his $10 shoes that he split his $20 pants. Examples: walking is cheap but you have to eat and sleep. Do you not count that? A car can cost just gas, but do you also consider the cost of owning a car at over 30 cents per mile? If you hitchhike you still have to sleep and eat for several days. If you can find a cheap airfare, you can avoid needing to buy expensive food or finding a place to sleep. But that means avoiding airport food. I would guess trains don't get you close enough on either end. A bus is probably the cheapest way if you book ahead. You will have to sleep on the bus, deal with transfers, and to save money take food with you. You can pack things like crackers, cheese and peanut butter sandwiches which will last a few days. Try http://www.greyhound.com seven day advance purchase is $99 and a bus leaves Aiken at about 7:30pm and arrives in AZ about 2 days later at 5pm. You would spend 2 nights on the bus and need 2 days of food.

About How are Mega-bus and Greyhound - safety-wise and travel-wise

How are Mega-bus and Greyhound - safety-wise and travel-wise?
I wil be attending a school in Northern Kentucky come January and since I don't have a car I'm fixing to take the bus...It'd be closer for me to go to Cincinnati, OH than to Lexington for a bus terminal... So this would be a trip from Cincinnati to Ashtabula (northeastern Ohio) which is about 5,6,7 hours depending on other stops...I don't have much experience on long travel buses - so how are Mega-bus and Greyhound Buses' safety, and just the experience in general and all that? I don't need it to be great but just safe and cheap enough to get me to where I need to go....I'll be taking this lil jaunt about every 6 weeks so hopefully it won't be too awful...

i've only been on the grey hound bus a couple times. overall it's pretty safe, just make sure you have head phones on at ALL times, pretend you're sleeping or whatnot. cause the last time i was on one from st. louis to chicago, a 6 hour bus ride some dood was talking to me the whole time and wouldn't shut up. he smelled and he was telling me that he just got out of prison and going home to see his kids. he wanted to be friends and asked for my number and everything. i tried to pretend i was sleeping but he just kept on talking. yeah, that was the last time i ever went on a bus. so, unless you're with someone you know, or just leave your music playing then i guess it's safe overall. good luck~!!
2 :
I know that Greyhound doesn't attract the best clientele and that must Greyhound stations are in very rough neighborhoods. Remember bus carriers don't check passengers for weapons before boarding like the airlines do.
3 :
My children (ages 17 and 12) took a Greyhound bus from Charlotte, NC to Lexington, KY and back this past summer. My son (the 17-year-old) said it was OK - boring, of course, but not too bad. He said, though, there were some people on the bus that got kicked off when he reported them for smoking on the bus. He thought they were pretty creepy and was glad they were kicked off. I know of a HS-age girl (18 now) that has an obsession with hand-sanitizer because of something that happened to HER on a Grey-Hound bus several years ago. A man started to lick her hand. Another passenger saw, reported it and he, too, was kicked off - right in the middle of nowhere. You can take that as you will. I don't know anything about the other company you mentioned.
4 :
you are lucky not to travel like 72 H or more traveling by Greyhound is a pain in the ass, they stop a lot where they want to I mean where the driver wants to and they feel like they are the bosses and can give you orders, you have to eat what driver feels like and sometimes they pick up their lovers to get companion you know but, other than that they are pretty much safe I guess so, y you where traveling more than 73 h like I did you might erase your middle ass mark and is really boring, is more fun to travel by train even if you get coach seat which is cheaper but, you have freedom to walk in the different cars, get a snack, play cards, watch a movie etc,etc.
5 :
If there is anyway at all you can take the train (Amtrak), do it. It's your best bet, and its far more pleasant. If that is not an option for you, just take steps to keep yourself safe. On the bus, sit towards the front half. Choose who your seatmate is if you have to share a seat, you can do this by sitting next to someone who seems okay to you as you get on, or by taking an empty seat, keeping your belongings in the seat next to you, and as the bus fills up, only move them as you see people that are potential seatmates get on. At stops, keep your belongings with you, and dont seclude yourself anywhere. A 6 hour ride wont be too bad, just bring some music and magazines along. There usually isn;t much room to set up a laptop on a bus.

I am disabled and not able to walk very far. I'm allergic to the sun also but hubby being from Costa Rica hates the cold. Anyway, my dream has always been Bermuda but we only have about $1,000 to work with here for about 3 days. I would like to go somewhere outside the USA. We are not willing to travel to Asia, Middle East, etc. We will be flying out of either Chicago or Lexington,KY. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You may try going on a Free Cruise from one of those Vacation Timeshare companies.

Definitely SPRING for both St Louis, MO and Lexington, KY ~~ In St. Louis you’ll find more free, major attractions than anyplace outside the nation’s capital. TravelSmart, the nation’s oldest consumer travel newsletter, named St. Louis one of its 10 Safest, Culturally Most Fascinating Cities in the U.S. for its diverse cultural and tourism activities. This year, the Gateway Arch continues the celebration of its 40th anniversary. Celebrate with St Louis by taking a tram ride to the top of the Arch, (you must like being enclosed in a clothes dryer though) Watching the movie about the monument’s construction on a giant screen. Visit the Museum of Westward Expansion – underground, below the Arch – and enjoy special events on the grounds of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. Beyond the Arch, visitors will see a new energy in downtown St. Louis. Masses of money has been spent on projects including new entertainment districts, casinos, loft condos and scores of new restaurants, retailers and hotels in renovated historic buildings. http://www.explorestlouis.com/ ~~ Lexington (although in 2005 it was ranked the Worst City for Spring Allergies) it is beautiful there in Spring. The Blue Grass is greener, everything is in flower and the horses are friskier! http://www.visitlex.com/

I will be traveling to Lexington on Saturday, June 21st. I have 4 kids ranging in age from 4-8. My travel companion has 4 kids ages 2-10. We are looking for some things to do with the kids. Stuff like zoos, parks, carnivals, amusement parks and children's museums are favorable. Money is not a huge issue, but of course cheaper is better. Also, what is a good, kid-friendly hotel to stay in?

Things to do... -Several great city park pools (Southland and Woodland Parks specifically) are cheap, but will be crowded because they are so popular -Lexington Children's Museum http://www.explorium.com/ -Two city "nature" parks (McConnell Springs Nature Center and Raven Run Nature Sanctuary) as well as the University's Arboretum http://www.lfucg.com/parks/mcconnell.asp http://www.lfucg.com/parks/raven.asp http://www.ca.uky.edu/arboretum/ -The Kentuck Horse Park (link includes daily activities list) http://www.kyhorsepark.com/sub.php?pageid=36§ionid=2 -Local horse farms, distillery/farms, and Toyota all offer local tours -Lots of movie theaters. -If you're a reader, you must check out Joseph-Beth Booksellers. Huge selection, kids reading program, and a cafe with an outdoor patio overlooking a pond with ducks, geese, and fish. Nice place to take the kids on a spring day. On June 21 the bookstore is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Corduroy Bear series from 11-1; it's free and Corduroy is scheduled to be there. http://www.josephbeth.com/Default.aspx?tabindex=4&tabid=154&storeId=1 Places to eat... -Lexingtonians love to eat out! Most places happily welcome kids. I don't think anyone has a kids free night on Saturdays. Because we love to eat out, it's not unusual for there to be a wate at most restaurants on a Saturday. Definately call ahead with a large party like yours. Places to stay... -Most chain hotels are accepting of kids. I haven't been to the Holiday Inn in many years, but as a kid I used to love having out of town relatives stay there so that we could visit the Holidome: an indoor center with a pool, whirlpool, sauna, shuffle board, exercise facilities, ping pong, virtual reality electronic games, outdoor sand volleyball and indoor basketball; not sure if they still have indoor putt-putt. This hotel is close to the I-75/I-64 interchange. http://hilexingtonnorth.com/ Our summer so far has been hazy, hot, and humid, dress lightly. But we've also had some big storms this week, so be prepared for that too (temps, dropped 20 degrees in less than an hour this afternoon). General Info: http://www.visitlex.com/

We're looking to travel no more than 5-6 hours, preferably. As for entertainment, we'd like something relaxing, but that has upbeat activities in the vicinity. IE: We can chill on the beach OR hit a few clubs! I mean this for the upcoming summer - not now!

It really depends on what you're into. You could visit the Kentucky Horse Park or maybe go to a UK game at Rupp arena.
3 :
Really depends on your interests. Some popular thoughts: 1) horses - of course. Some really beautiful horse country around lexington. Head to the Kentucky Horse Park or reserve a tour at one of the multi-million dollar horse farms in the surrounding area. 2) bourbon - several distilleries within driving distance, many with tours and tastings 3) Restaurants - downtown has some fun and unique spots, as does the area surrounding the University of Kentucky campus...there are two major retail areas (Hamburg and Fayette mall) that have a good selection of chain restaurants (PF Chang's, Johnny Carino's, Bonefish Grill, etc) 4) Movies: several multiplexes, including those in Hamburg and Fayette Mall, but the most unique is the Kentucky theatre - an historic downtown theatre that features cult favorites, indie choices, and other not-run-of-the-mill movies 5) University/basketball - you can always tour the campus and the UK basketball museum 6) Toyota plant - tour the plant in nearby Georgetown and see where the Camry's are made woo-hoo! 7) Historic areas - several historic estates and neighborhoods in the city if you are interested in architecture or history 8) Music/Clubs - quite a few to choose from, including the typical college clubs and some more laidback places. The dame downtown has some good music features. 9) Outdoors - if you have a few days, there are some great outdoors activities within a close radius, from canoeing to hiking the scenic Red River Gorge 10) Arts - several great galleries and museums, as well as the Philharmonic, opera, and local theatre companies. And check out ticketmaster for national tours stopping at Rupp Arena. If you have more specific interests, there are a lot more things. Lexington is a small city but does have some interesting places. Good luck!
