So, I've agreed to drive a group of people to Longleat Safari Park this weekend. It's been in the diary for months, but the weather forecast is not good. If you've been to Longleat before - is the bad weather going to spoil the trip? should we reschedule?

I am planning my honeymoon for the two weeks beginning June 11th, 2007. My future wife and I are looking at Cabo San Lucas and San Jose Del Cabo. We have heard that the weather can be too hot / too rainy this time of year, but I tend to think that my future in-laws and travel agent may be overreacting.

My girlfriend and I are headed to New York City this Thursday through Sunday. It looks like it is crazy hot there right now, and also looks like a good chance of rain on Thursday and Friday. Help us avoid letting the weather spoil our weekend getaway. We are staying at the Hudson. We would love to walk around but we also don't want to run ourselves ragged in the heat / rain. What would be a good itinerary for Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Keep us cool. Keep us dry. Keep us happy.

Travel route advice please. I'll be driving from Southern California to Kitchener, Ontario, Canada in late January or early February. A native southern californian who has never driven this far, I'm much worried about the weather. I've read up on various winter driving advice. I'm wondering about the route. Most directions show a straight shot (through denver, chicago). But would it be better to stick south till like Tennessee, then do a straight shot up north?
