Stay home-a Sonoma

Fri, 11 Aug 2000 00:16:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - Thursday night in august, and it is hot. Two of us decide to go for a light dinner at Sonoma. I called, "No reservations for a party of your size." If you are uninitiated, allow extra time for parking in Manyunk. There is no easy parking and...

East Coast to Las vegas

Thu, 3 Aug 2000 20:53:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - Las Vegas is a "trip". As an east coast native I was not excited about the prospect of attending a conference there. Now, I can't wait to go back!

I am a mid-life adult, who travels with another, slightly younger one. Our...

Seabourn Sun for 19 days.

Tue, 1 Aug 2000 23:45:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - We expected perfection. After all, I looked at those ads, smiling crew faces, champagne carried to me by a waiter in his whites while I float on a raft...

In reality, we booked on Deck #9,just below the penthouses, a suite with a balcony, expecting...

I LOVE LONDON in PHL

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 23:21:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - London is a neighborhood institution. I discovered it when I was a grad student, and have continuously patronized it over my fifteen years or so in Phila. I love that you can dress up, it gets its share of people coming for business or special occasions,...

Yang Ming: I'll PASS

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 22:43:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - Because I could not believe my experience the first time, I went a second time. I will not go again. This is really a large,lovely old tavern which has been converted into a mauve and pink Chinese Restaurant. It is meant to be moderate to upscale, and it...

Merrill Lynch

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 22:30:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - I am currently a new Merrill customer. I am not certain whether I will stay here very long. I have been managing my own accounts for many years, but thought that I'd made enough money that I didn't know how to best protect it, or how to maximize it.

A Perfect hotel in Palo Alto/Menlo Park Area

Wed, 29 Dec 1999 17:50:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - Like any treasure, you want to keep it to yourself. The highest praise I can give to the STANFORD PARK HOTEL is to tell you about it.It is located on El Camino Real, just beyond the border of Palo Alto, in Menlo Park. It is convenient to both towns, and...

Budget: Great Car, Intimidation at the Counter

Fri, 10 Dec 1999 02:15:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - I arrived in Fort Meyers Airport and enthusiastically dragged my bag to look for the Budget counter. It was 10PM and the counter in our terminal was closed, which meant a long haul to the next one. The young woman was very polite, and things were going...

March: Delightful Dining

Wed, 8 Dec 1999 20:32:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - Two of us (women) went to NY and found our way to March. It is about as far East as you can get on 58th street (58th between Sutton and 1st), narrow and long from front to back, and tables are close together. But actually this proved to part of the...

Aspen/Snowmass:Female perspective

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 22:47:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - I have been to Aspen twice. First visit was with my son, the snowboard kid; and once to enjoy myself with other adult friends.I had a great skiing and town experience both times. I stayed in Aspen on both visits. If you stay there, at night you can walk...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - I am so happy, I am writing this from my room at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, in Naples, FL. My SO and I decided to come down here for a quick, relaxing weekend of pampering. My flight was delayed, so I arrived at The Ritz at midnight. No problem. As I...

Vistafjord to become Coronia

Wed, 20 Oct 1999 11:54:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - In the Summer of 1998, I cruised the Baltic Sea on the Vistafjord. I flew to Copenhagen and boarded there. The Cunard Line puts up a little outdoor tent , serves free champagne and takes your picture with a life preserver showing the ship name, and the...

Dishwashers-Miele: Miele, best dishwasher ever

Mon, 18 Oct 1999 14:40:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - Very simple. I bought a Miele Brand Dishwasher and I, still, two years later am in love with it. Costs more but probably worth it. Never a spot, never a stain, no noise, and best of all the plates and glasses actually squeak when they come out. EVERY...

Maastricht:VisualDelight

Fri, 15 Oct 1999 17:39:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - I visited Maastricht several years ago quite by accident. I would recommend it so highly I would go out of my way to see it. It is a less discovered place than many tourist destinations, and it is a visual delight. It is a walled city, and you can enter...

U.S Airways: Middle Class

Thu, 14 Oct 1999 14:24:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - It is not easy to fly in or out of Philly on a regular basis without using US AIR. They have a virtual monopoly on runways at the Philly Airport, and are not interested in subleasing to competitors. I have flown first class and coach frequently.

Sun, 10 Oct 1999 22:51:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - I have been lucky enough to have travelled extensively. I love Europe, like the Caribbean and Mexico, and thoroughly enjoy parts of New England and theWest Coast. But I lost my heart to Cape Cod.

I first went to Eastham, part of the Lower...

Sun, 10 Oct 1999 17:37:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - Should you think of visiting Philadelphia (PHL)? It is a city of ethnic neighborhoods, and historic places. It has a fabulous orchestra, severalmajor art museums, Independence Hall and The Liberty Bell. So if these are your interests, the answer for you...

queen elizabeth II

Fri, 8 Oct 1999 18:07:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bevk - In May, 1999, I spent six days crossing the Atlantic on the Queen Elizabeth II. I decided to do this because: 1) the trip was billed as a "Horticulture Theme Cruise"; and, 2) I wanted rest and relaxation before reaching England. I went first...
