How long to travel from Fairfield, CT to JFK Airport via train?
How long does it take to travel from Fairfield, CT to JFK Airport via train?
We're going to take Metro North to Grand Central, then the subway to Sutphin blvd/Archer Ave to catch the Airtrain to JFK.
We're just wondering how much time to allot.
Thanks,
J
Well, let's see, the trip on the Metro-North will be an hour, and the trip on the subway will be another hour, plus the Airtrain will take a while, too, plus there's getting to the train and all the walking and waiting inbetween trains, so, door-to-door, you're looking at at least three hours, maybe more?
My family wants to travel to Europe next summer and we want to go to Italy, Austria, Germany, France, and Spain. How long do you think that we should go for to really get to see all of the famous sites and all of the other must-see places.
Thanks in advance!
basically, the cities that we want to go to are Rome, Milan, Venice, Verona, Innsbruck, (maybe Vienna), Munich, Frankfort, Berlin, Strasbourg, Paris, Nantes, Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid.
(city - minimum days, suggested days)
Rome - 2 , 5
Milan - 1, 0 (don't go to Milan, its not worth the time. nothing to see there, ugly industrial town - in my oppinion - maybe try Firenze instead, much more beautiful)
Venice - 1,1 (a must have, but it's soooo crowded with tourists)
Verona 1,1 (never been there, but rather small)
Innsbruck 1,0 (not worth to visit)
maybe Vienna 2,4 (great city, one of the best worldwide; not directly on your route, but definatly worth to visit)
Munich 2,4 (my hometown)
Frankfurt 1,2
Berlin 2,5
Strasbourg 1, don't know havent been there
Paris 3,6
Nantes (don't know at all)
Barcelona 3,5
Valencia (don't know at all)
Madrid 3,5
I would guess a minimum of 4 weeks for this programm (estimating you sleep during moving from one point to the other), but this is already so tight I doubt it could be fun. If I were you, I would rather cut some places and enjoy more. My route (based on your route) would be:
5 days in Rome
1 day travel, slowly, with time to go to smaller villages a little bit of the highways (it's worth it)
1 day to Venice
1 day travell, go see the alps, go on top of a mountain, enjoy pure nature
4 days Vienna
1 day travell, go see the Chiemsee incl. Castle Herrenchiemsee and monestry frauenchiemsee with a bouttour
3 days Munich
1 day travel (you'll need all day for the travalling, so no stop)
5 days Paris
2 days travel, stop in Nice and traval at the cost to...
5 days Barcelona
It's still about 29 days... Contact me for further advise.
I am buying an extractor fan for my new kitchen. I have an option for a ducting kit or filter. Is a filter ok?
The filter is about £20 less and looks easier to fit, however is there any difference in the way the extractor fan will remove cooking odour from the atmosphere? many thanks
depends on if you want to cut a hole in the wall to vent it
either one will work
How many times should you have to open bleeders to bleed brakes?
I just put a new master cylinder on my car. The bleed kit that came with it had cheap plastic plugs that stripped as soon as I tried to use them, so I just skipped bench bleeding them. I put the master cylinder on, and attempted to bleed it, but no brake fluid flowed through.
I then went and bought a better bench bleeding kit that fit, and bench bled the master cylinder.. But now I suppose I have air in my lines.
Would this be the only reason my pedal goes all the way to the floor and doesn't stop the car at all. The pedal was normal before I took the master cylinder off
I tried bleeding each wheel about 10 times each. On two of them, the first time I opened the bleeder, a lot of fluid came out. But after that, nothing is coming out.. And I'm not even seeing any air bubbles going through the plastic tubing I put on the bleed screw into a clear container of brake fluid.
So do I just have to keep bleeding, or is there something else that could be wrong?
thanks
my answer is try to check it out first on auto repair shop..dude
how many man hours should it take to replace a natural gas furnace?
I have a 2000 sq foot house that needs a new furnace and got a quote for $4000 labor. That seems high to me. The plenum is good but needs to be adjusted to fit the new model. Both furnaces have built in humidifiers and are forced air gas fired. Air conditioning is not affected and is not being replaced.
Less than one day,there ripping you off,I used to install them years ago.

how many people can actually fit in the back seat of an audi tt, 2002 model.. i'll stuck between an option of buying an audi tt and a golf 5 gti and i wanna know which choice would be right. how many ppl and wat is the fuel consumption of a tt
There are 2 back seats, but no leg room. So you can only fit one person when they put there feet up.
It came with 2 engines.
The 1.8T 4 cyinder turbo engine gets up to 31mpg highway and comes optional with AWD.
The 3.2L V6 gets up to 26mpg and has AWD.
i have an 1989 Kawasaki Bayou 300 4x4. The four wheeler itself isnt actually in bad shape and the engine is still in good order. I recently replaced the starter limiter gear. now the coil isnt putting out fire. I had to take the side of the engine off and possibly gotten the part that goes around the generator rotor out of align. I was also told by my uncle who is a vehicle mechanic that it could actually be out of time but i didnt think fourwheelers could get out of time because its only a single cylinder engine.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem???
if overhead cam then timing of valve openings must be in sync. with crank.

Does anyone have the Led Zeppelin boxed set with the four symbols on the cover?
It's all of their CD's, right? Are they remastered? I saw it at Barnes and Noble and it was $200 and I instantly wanted it. Is it worth the money?
In terms of personal value, oh MY yes! Haha. You can always get it on grooveshark.com, if you expect to be stationary. I've got the boxed set with the crop circle on the front cover - completely awesome. Your call : )
The Ready Set- Stays Four the Same (With On-Screen Lyrics)
A committee of two is selected at random from a set consisting of three Democrats, four Republicans, and on?
A committee of two is selected at random from a set consisting of three Democrats, four Republicans, and one Independent
a.What is the probability that the committee will consist of no Republicans?
b.What is the probability that the committee consists of all Republicans?
3 dems + 4 reps + 1 ind = 8 people
First, the total number of ways to pick *any* two people would be:
C(8,2) = (8 x 7) / (2 x 1) = 28 ways
PART A:
There are 4 non-republicans. The ways to pick two non-republicans would be:
C(4,2) = (4 x 3) / (2 x 1) = 6 ways
P(no republicans) = 6/28 = 3/14
PART B:
There are 4 republicans. The ways to pick two republicans would be:
C(4,2) = (4 x 3) / (2 x 1) = 6 ways
