34. Question: Crowne Plaza Hotel New York good hotel? Staying for 4 nights any info would be great?

Answer：Those sites give you reviews of the hotel. just type in the name and location and the information it ask. date doesn’t have to be the one you booked to look at the info. some sites let you leave it blank and you can continue the search. I have gone through these sites and they have good info.

35. Question: What is there to do in Miami? I am going to Miami in a week or so, what are some things to do down there? I know of south beach and the shopping along south beach but that’s all I ever do when I go there. I wanna try something new. I don’t wanna do anything too expensive while i’m down there. Any Ideas?Answer：Miami and Miami Beach are two separate cities. Miami is a huge city that has all of the features of every major city from museums to an aquarium to a downtown with stores and restaurants. Miami Beach is just what the word says: a beach with all of the features you would expect of a community that is a few blocks wide and every inch of it within walking distance of … the beach. I live in Miami Beach, by the way, right on the avenue where the beach is — Collins Ave. I rarely go to the shopping avenue (Lincoln Road). Everything there including the dozens of restaurants are for tourists — overpriced and the product less than laudatory. Nobody but a tourist would buy from most of the overpriced dress and shoe stores along the mall.

Go online to a search engine and punch in Miami, FL attractions. You will get enough to do so that you will have to move there to do it all in less than 5 years! Or go to the web site for City of Miami and they will have a section on attractions.

If you are adventurous and have a car, you ought to take drive down the coast to the Keys where there are restaurants out of 1940s movies with some of the best food at semi-reasonable prices you have ever seen. And the atmosphere … just beautiful.

Answer：step 1 – Make sure you arrive at the correct terminal. this will be printed on your ticket.

step 2 – Enter the airport and look at the check-in screens and see which check in desks are for your flight and proceed to them.

step 3 – you will need to put you hold luggage (the luggage going under the plane) on a conveyor belt/scale. the person behind the desk will ask to see you ticket and passport. she will do some typing for a few minutes and ask you some questions like, are you carrying an bombs? etc… she will then put a label on your luggage and send it off to go under the plane. you will then receive your boarding pass.

step 4 – security and passport control. you will need to show you passport and boarding pass to a control officer they will look at them and stamp them, and then proceed to the x-ray machines. once there, you will need to put you hand luggage, hats, coats, shoes and the contents of your pockets onto a conveyor belt. this will be screened for explosives etc… you will walk through a metal detector. if it beeps you will be searched. once finished collect your belongings and go to the shops.

step 5 – if you have time till your flight you can go shopping. otherwise head straight to the gate. this will be on your boarding pass as well as on monitors throughout the airport.

step 6 – boarding. boarding is normally called in the following order first class, business class, premium passengers and families with young children first. then comes everyone else. the rest is called by seat number starting with the rear of the aircraft and working the way to the front. they normally call about 10 rows at a time. your seat number is on your boarding pass.

step 7 – before you go through the jet way your boarding pass will be scanned and you will be on our way the the aircraft!

step 8 – when you reach the entrance to the plane a stewardess will look at your boarding pass and direct you to your seat. (if the plane has one isle she will say its on your right/left. if it has 2 isles she will tell you which isle to go down and if your seat is on the right of left.)

just to help here are all the possible configurations of an aircraft with ’0′ representing a seat and ‘-’ an isle. (these are of economy class), and where i know, the aircraft model.
