Outback Gear: Never got order; non-existent customer service

Tue, 1 Jul 2003 18:27:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - I placed an order for some Camelbak accessories because this store had a decent price and had all 3...

poor customer service

Sat, 4 Jan 2003 13:57:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - Although UPS ground seems to deliver packages promptly (that is, within the estimated delivery time), their customer service leaves a great deal to be desired. Recently, I was on vacation and had a UPS package en route to my home. After receiving the...

Don't rent a Kia!

Wed, 13 Feb 2002 19:23:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - We just returned from a week long February vacation in St. Maarten. "We" includes my husband and I (who were in it for relaxation), my parents (who were in it for the snorkeling and the food), and a two-year old. The following is a summary of the...

If not an expert skier, make it a summer trip

Tue, 8 Jan 2002 17:06:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - We just returned from a six-day ski trip at Jackson Hole and have mixed feelings about it. The trip was in early January and the conditions at the beginning of the week were poor with some ice patches, little snow cover, and shadows descending on the...

Red Mountain Spa: Cheap but by no means cheap.

Fri, 22 Jun 2001 15:48:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - Our recent trip to Red Mountain Spa was our first ever spa trip. It was to be our five year anniversary gift to ourselves so we decided to splurge. However, being budget minded, we kept coming back to the Red Mountain Spa. We were afraid it could not...

Opa!

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 16:03:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - COUPLES ONLY

The Sandals "Couples Only" concept is great - assuming you are a couple (a break up just before flight time almost resulted in ruining an entire vacation). Limiting the resort to couples creates a very romantic and relaxing atmosphere...

Fun for baby and you...

Thu, 15 Mar 2001 23:47:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - This book grows with your kids:

Babies will love the jiggly eyes.

Toddlers will love the graphics and fun rhymes.

Older kids will find the book is long enough to have some substance to maintain interest(the lack of which is an attribute...

Only in New Zealand...

Thu, 30 Nov 2000 02:06:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - I recently visited Wellington, New Zealand twice on business. The first trip allowed three extra days to explore the North Island and the second trip allowed five extra days to explore the South Island.

It was a pleasure to tour this country -...

Luxury & Fun, and the Nav System rocks!

Tue, 26 Sep 2000 00:26:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - The redesigned 3.2TL is probably the best value around in the near-luxury class. It's way cheaper than the Lexus ES300, and a way better ride than the Infiniti I30. The Camry XLE V6 would be comparable, but for a comparable price the TL comes with the...

Priceline WebHouse Groceries Online Store: WebHouse is No more: If only they had delivered...

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 23:34:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - I tried Priceline recently when I heard from a colleague that it actually does save money as advertised. Since I have a new baby and am spending a great deal of money on diapers, formula, baby food, and everything else consumed by the little guy, I...

Avoid them unless committed to 3 years

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 23:14:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - While in college in Cambridge, MA in 1993, I took a summer job in Phoenix, Arizona. My brother joined me and we both decided to join a club while there. Bally's had a club within one mile of our apartment complex. We went to check it out and were...

Go beyond 7 mile beach...

Wed, 3 May 2000 22:00:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - By dumb luck my visit to Grand Cayman was not on a cruise or in a hotel on Seven Mile beach. Instead, it consisted of staying in a four bedroom villa near Rum Point - across the island from Seven Mile Beach. This made all the difference in the world...

If only they had a drive thru...

Wed, 3 May 2000 20:49:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - We are ever on the quest for a quick place to get healthy food. Togo's is a superb option. The only thing that would make it better is a drive-thru.

The Togo's I have visited is on Route 16 in Everett (or at least close to it) in...

Give it some time...

Wed, 3 May 2000 20:34:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - I visited Nigeria three times for 7-10 days at a time on business. It was one of those life experiences I would never give up - but it was also one that I would not have even considered if I did not have an insider escort from the company with which I...

Close to great restaurants in Inman

Wed, 3 May 2000 19:35:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - Christina's was serving ice cream before Inman Square became a hip dining spot a few years ago. Now it is the perfect place to go for dessert after dining at nearby Jae's Cafe, East Coast Grill, Midwest Grill, Portugalia, and other restaurants that are...

Best cheap Chinese around.

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 19:12:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - I have been frequenting Royal East since freshman year at MIT in 1988. It has been consistently good all these years. Five years ago I moved out to the Northern suburbs of Boston and have made an unsuccessful effort to find good Chinese food closer to...

Tallulah's and Aquarium are no more!

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 22:38:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MITGeek - We stopped by Aquarium for a third try last week and found that it had shut it's doors for good. Surprising since they always had a wait, though perhaps a lack of consistency in the taste of the food did them in. We were disappointed because our baby...
