Question
Can you suggest any
reasonbaly priced hotels (doesn't have to be close to the beach) that is
near a nice
shopping area. Also any activities for kids
nearby. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Answer
You might want to look into the Holiday Inn
on Glades Rd (near the Turnpike). It is only 2 miles away from
the Town Center mall - a very nice shopping area. Wilt
Chamberlains which is a real fun Sports Bar/
Restaurant is just
down the road. They have a nice gameroom and a real basketball court
your kids may
want to check out. Hope this
helps.

Question
I
am flying into Ft Lauderdale and heading to Boca Raton. Is FLL the closest
airport? If so, what is the
cheapest way to get to Boca from
FLL?
Answer
Boca is halfway between the Ft lauderdale airport
and the West Palm Beach airport. (around 25 miles away
from
each). I'm more familiar with the Ft. Lauderdale
airport.
Taxi/Car Service would probably cost around $35 to Boca. There
are also shared ride services at the airport
for less money that
might go to Boca. You need to inquire at the airport about this.
The
cheapest way (but it is also the most inconvenient and I don't suggest
this if you have more than a
carryon) is to take a Broward County
Bus
from the airport to the Tri-Rail train station and take that
north to Boca. They will help you with this at the
airport.
(NOTE: Will probably take you at least a couple of hours this way).
Hope this helps......Enjoy your
trip!

Question
What
type of area is Boca Raton to live in as I am a retiree who is looking to
relocate to South Florida in a
year or two?
Answer
For
the most part Boca Raton is an upscale town, known in part for its
beautifully maintained secure
retirement communities. You can find many
of these communities around Glades Rd, Palmetto Pk rd,
and Hwy 441.
There are also many upscale condos located near the beach.
Your best bet would probably to
locate a realtor and have
him or her show you around the different communities. It really
is
a pretty place to
live.
