Grandeur On the Seas

Mon, 13 Jan 2003 03:35:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author christine_richard - I took my second ocean cruise ever in December 2002. I have to admit that, although I shy from cruise because of the herding people thing, the prices are extremely alluring. For $1,000 my husband and I were able to cruise for 7-days in a balcony room on...

Great Inn: Hotel San Jose

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author christine_richard - Review for a specific hotel in Austin: San Jose

What a great hotel find! When we were originally looking for a hotel, the only things I came across were chain hotels, so I was pleased to finally track down Hotel San Jose...

Review Topic: Sights & Attractions

Don't like to gamble? Then what the hell are you doing in Vegas? I was attending a convention, as were roughly 20,000 others. So not everyone in Las Vegas is there to gamble. I thought I'd...

Romantic and historic city

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 17:33:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author christine_richard - First things first, you should probably say New Orlenz (short e), rather than New Orleenz. The latter will brand you as a tourist. But I guess that's OK, because locals are extremely friendly to tourists.

Is this a city or another...

Paradise for all, afforded by the privileged

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 09:44:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author christine_richard - I have been to Mustique four times, of these I have spotted Mick Jagger twice. He has a house here, as does David Bowie, whom I've never seen. I must disclaim, however, that I have also run into Jagger in London and Spain, so we are like two people that...

Swimming and exploring -- a little island for everyone

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 21:05:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author christine_richard - The first time I traveled to Antigua in 1988, I was to stay six weeks. During this time, I lived in an apartment, immersed myself in the local culture and during the day, uncovered artifacts left by the Caribs and Arawaks for the local museum. Because I...

First cruise and not the last

Wed, 29 Dec 1999 16:30:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author christine_richard - Normally I travel by plane - go to an island, plant myself on the beach, swim, snorkel, sip banana daiquiris, soak in steel drums. By nature, I am scared of cruises. It's not the ships I don't like, but the cruisers, the herd thing. 1,200 smiling faces,...

Carnival is heady

Fri, 10 Sep 1999 16:57:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author christine_richard - Perhaps, I am not an expert on St. Vincent -- I've only been about a dozen times. I know what you are thinking (expert, right?). However, it is usually only overnight, two nights tops, because my real goal is Bequia (see me epinion on that). But, St...

A Gem, Undiscovered

Fri, 10 Sep 1999 12:49:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author christine_richard - So you want to go to Bequia? Shh, please don't let the cat out of the bag -- I've been going to this island for many years. It is everything St. Thomas or even Barbados isn't: It isn't developed; there aren't fast food chains or laundromats; the locals...
