My sister is traveling to New Jersey in a week or so. She has this question: Myself and two others traveling by bus later this month and we have an 11 hour layover in Chicago, starting at about 5 in the morning on Tuesday. So I was wondering if there is anything really interesting to do while in Chicago for that time that is very inexpensive (Perhaps less than $5.) or free. (Free is always good. :) ) [more inside]

Want to know about how long (and how bearable) it would be commuting from Jersey City, NJ to Somerset, NJ 5 days a week for work. Has anyone done it? Any thoughts on how 'sustainable' a commute it is? I am mostly concerned with the day-after-day effects of driving this distance. My commute now is via subway and is about 30 minutes each way, including walking.

I have to travel from/to the Metropark station on a weekday. I'll be taking the first train out in the morning, late arrival in the evening. I'd prefer not to bill client for car service but do not have other rides available at these fringe hours, which leaves only the parking lot option. Will I find a spot at 5:00AM? Will it be safe to walk back to my car at 10:00PM?

I am looking to visit Cape May, NJ, with my longtime girlfriend.

We're not necessarily looking to go swimming, but I'd like to be sure that there are still nice, romantic things we can see and do. Any advice about the weather and the sights in the area would be appreciated. I'm also open to suggestions about alternate destinations in the Philadelphia area. Thanks!
