• Question:-Are there any all-inclusive resorts in Barbados with surfing?
  My husband and I are surfers, and are having trouble finding a resort that is on a good surf break. We don't need anything crazy, we are still beginners. We just want to be able to paddle out from the resort.
  
  Answer:-The only real accommodation near the surfing is in Bathsheba but it will not be all-inclusive. This site offers some places so check it out.

• Question:-Has anyone been to Turtle Beach Resort, Barbados?
  My fiance and I were thinking about all-inclusive places for our honeymoon at the end of September. We were looking at Turtle Beach Resort on the island of Barbados. Has anyone been there? Are the beaches nice? Are there fun activities to do? And also, is it very busy?
  We're looking to have fun in the Caribbean, but we also want to be able to lay back and relax. Thanks!

• Question:-I'm going to The Crane resort in Barbados for my honeymoon in July, any suggestions for stuff to do?
  We're looking for good, inexpensive places to eat and things to do. All the activities offered by Expedia are outrageously priced. While we're at it, anyone stayed at The Crane before? Experiences?
  
  Answer:-Hi there.
  I'm Barbadian so I can't tell you anything about the Crane - it's a bit pricey for all us "locals". (I'm not in the country at the moment, tho I will be some time in July.)
  
  I browsed a couple of the answers and they seemed accurate (I only skimmed them, though). There's stuff to do but to suggest something nice, I'd have to know what you're interested in and how long you will be there.
  
  Some suggestions anyway:
  1) Festival - Go to Crop Over activities. They run from the beginning of July (actually a bit before that) to the first week in August. Some are free, others aren't too expensive, but read about it before you go, so you know what it's like. Try www.barbados.org. They have photos n everything there. The big street party is in August so if you're there then, go take a look.
  
  2) Beach beach beach - There are beaches everywhere. Try to go to several over the island, even the east coast, though you shouldn't try to swim most places there. (It's just nice to relax and walk around) Also, there's snorkeling, scuba diving, basically all sorts of water activities... or just lie there and bake :D
  
  3) Tours - Harrison's Cave, Welchman Hall Gully, Animal Flower Cave, the Flower Forrest, Atlantis submarine, an off-road tour, Jolly Roger cruise, Harbour Master cruise, a catamaran cruise, tour an old plantation home or old building, Mount Gay distilleries (world's oldest rum distillery) - various prices and experiences; depends on what you like; probably lots I've forgotten to mention.
  
  4) Food - depends on what you want the experience to be like: local or international. There are lots of restaurants, especially on the south coast - in St. Lawrence Gap, Worthing, Hastings, Maxwell - and some on the west coast, especially around Holetown. Further north is the Fish Pot - I've heard it's supposed to be good but I never tried it. My favourite got closed down to build condos, I think :( For "local" foods, I'd say you can get a bit going to Oistins on a Friday night - street party and fish fry. Otherwise, I think you'd have to know a Bajan (=Barbadian). It's too hard to tell you places to go and things to eat (plus I'm a bit tired at the moment) If you want fast food though, Chefette can be found alot of places. There's KFC but not at widespread. Also, Chefette has different stuff. OH and I like a pizza place called Pizzaz in Holetown. :) It's ... different. :D
  
  5) Partying - there are clubs & part-time clubs like Club Xtreme, Harbour Lights, the Boat Yard & the After Dark; sometimes there are cruises on the Harbour Master that are also for partyers. Where you go really depends on what your preference.
  
  6) Other stuff - make a friend :) A Bajan friend will be able to steer you to or away from stuff if they know something of your preferences. Find a nice taxi driver - they'll come to your hotel and pick u up, etc. Rent a car - if you're adventurous and are okay with driving on the left side of the road; drive around and see the country (I do that myself sometimes) There's a floor show at the Plantation Garden theater - never went though so no clue but I heard it's great. Well... just GO! You can find lots of info once you're there. :)
  
  Hope that helps

• Question:-How are the showers at san onofre bluffs?
  How are the showers at san onofre bluffs?
  the state site says cold outdoor showers but my question is, are they private or does everybody sees you shower, i have 2 teenage daughters and dont want them to be uncomfortable
  
  Answer:-
• Question:-What's an easier way to get to San Onofre?
  I've tried getting directions, but you have to use the toll road. I'd rather just take Pacific Coast Highway, but I still don't know how to get to San Onofre from there.
  
  Any directions would be helpful. Thanks.
  
  Answer:-Coast highway does not extend to the Sano off ramp. Go to the first Off ramp on the freeway south of San Clemente get off there and follow the road that parallels the freeway south towards the state park. Then there are signs to point you in the right direction.
  PS; sometimes there are some pretty long lines that form early in the morning. They only let so many people in. In the old days it was cooler. You actually had to go onto the Marine base to get to the beach. So if you did not have a Sano sticker or a father in the military you couldn't get to the beach without a 3 mile walk. There were a lot less people in the water!!! Have fun!
• Question:-Do San Onofre State Beach campsites have grills?
  do all san onofre state beach (bluffs) camp sites come with grill grates on the firepits?
  
  Answer:-The sites I have been to have them. Round steel pits with a full grate. Some may have a half grate. It's been a few years so they may have disappeared by now.
  
  Here's the number to check 949-492-4872
  you can also check with the ranger at the entrance or the campground host (used to have an RV between trails 4 and 5 next to the surf camp)
• Question:-Is it ok to go camping in September at San Onofre State Beach in San Diego?
  I'm planning a family camping trip and wanted to know if the weather is still ok in September.
  
  Answer:-The weather will be fine but camping at San Onofre is not really camping. The "campground" there is nothing more than a parking lot. I would try San Elijo just south of there with actual camping spots right near the beach.
• Question:-Does anyone know what the large white flowering plants are along Hwy 101 near San Onofre?
  They seem to grow wild. The flowers are very large. It may be some kind of day blooming plant.
  
  Answer:-Isn't that near the Surfing Spot known as Trestles, if so they're called Beatniks!
• Question:-How easy is it to get a job at a nuclear powerplant like San Onofre?
  If I have a PhD. in Electrical Engineering and 12 years experience.
  What salary could I expect?
  
  Answer:-I worked at nuclear power plants for over 30 years and not one PhD of any knid was employed at any of them.
  Engineers at power plants seldom, if ever, design anything. They monitor the condition plant systems and write work and test procedures for their systems. They don't even work on or supervise maintenance of the main generator, transformers or distribution systems. There is a slight advantage to having an MBA, but most management of all types have experience in the operation of nuclear power plants. Plants usualyy contract any services that would be suitable for a PhD, although some corporate level PhDs might be used.
• Question:-Can you camp using a tent at the bluffs at San Onofre State Beach?
  I'm looking to camp for one night at San Onofre State Beach, I was just wondering if anyone knew first of all the best location to camp there, and also if you can camp using a tent in the Bluffs or if it's only RV. Thanks!
  
  Answer:-Yes, you can use tents. I've been there tent camping before.
• Question:-Does the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station ever test its sirens?
  Just a random question, I'm sure it does, but I was curious as to whether or not anyone can send me proof of such.
  
  Any answer lacking proof will be downrated.
  
  Answer:-It is an annual event required by federal law. The best way is to google san onofre siren test. I got 813 hits.
• Question:-Have there been a lot of shark attacks at San Onofre?
  My friends have been surfing and Stand up paddling boarding at San Onofre and have been seen a lot of decent size white sharks. Have there been a lot of attacks there? They want me to go with them soon so is there a better chance of being attacked there or should i just not worry about it and go have fun. thanx for your help
  
  Answer:-http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/Sharks/ISAF/ISAF.htm
  
  http://sanodaze.blogspot.com/2008/05/3-shark-attacks-have-san-onofre-area-in.html
  
  I guess the first answer, yes, more than usual. The second is go ahead a surf, "Dr. Ralph also said officials should keep the attacks in perspective.
  
  "People have a much better chance of dying of food poisoning than being bitten by a shark," he said. "It's far more dangerous driving to the beach than it is getting in the water."
• Question:-what would happen if the San Onofre nuclear reactors suffered a earthquake and a tsunami?
  they are located in a earthquake prone area right next to the ocean
  
  Answer:-the san andreas is a slip fault, not a subduction fault, so there won't be a tsunami.
  you could get a tsunami from Asia, or Alaska, but neither is likely to be a serious problem.
  
  the reactor would be fine in a quake, just as the reactors in Japan did not suffer significant quake damage.
