Perfect Venice Beach Location

Sun, 29 Oct 2006 21:57:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - The Inn at Venice Beach is in the perfect Venice Beach location. Well, almost perfect. It's too far from the beach. An entire 3 blocks. But, then again, it's a wonderful 3 blocks, full of convenient shops and a fantastic variety of restaurants. The...

Massive Ship! ... Massive Fun! ... Massive Vacation!!!

Tue, 17 Jul 2001 00:05:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - We are a family of four: mother, father, and two sons (14 and 9). We've been on cruises before. And we read the Epinions comments to prepare us for this cruise. Yes, we made good use of the negative comments. Thanks to Epinions, we knew better than...

Intercontinental: Miami Airport - DAYTIME LIFESAVER!!!

Tue, 10 Jul 2001 19:27:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I arrived with my wife and two sons at Miami Airport at 10:30 AM for a 5:30 PM flight to Boston (long story, poor planning on my part). We tried to get an earlier flight, but we could not. We checked in for our flight and checked our luggage, leaving...

Very nice touring boat!

Sun, 13 May 2001 20:57:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I've owned my long, narrow, hard-chined, fiberglass kayak for quite a few years. So, it's not often that I have the opportunity to paddle any of the current year's models of plastic boats. But, I had that opportunity last weekend. I spent an entire...

Love? ... Hate? ... Hmmmmmmm

Sat, 10 Mar 2001 22:20:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author climb - As always, Crichton did his homework. I've worked in the aviation industry for more than 20 years. I really enjoyed reading an action drama based on the field in which I work. The book was a quick and easy read for me, as I am very familiar with all...

Great For A Hacker Cyclist Like Me!

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 18:00:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I have a 1998 Cannondale M300, and I love it! Now, I'm not really a cyclist. Haven't even owned a bicycle since the Fuji road bike I had in college (and, for me, college was a long long time ago). But, I had some REI gift certificates and didn't need...

I'd Walk A Mile To See This Video!!!!!

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 23:19:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - A true rarity! ... A book-turned-movie, where the movie might well be better than the book. I should use the plural ... BOOKS! ... since King chose to issue "The Green Mile" as a serial, a series of small "booklets" published...

Surprisingly Disappointing!

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 22:50:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I was incredibly surprised that I didn't really like this movie! I'm a big-time Jim Carrey fan ... and was a big-time Taxi fan. So, I really thought I was going to enjoy this movie. Yes, the first couple of glimpses of Jim Carrey playing Andy Kaufman...

A Fifth Star For Their Draught

Tue, 26 Dec 2000 13:42:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - As a beer-lover, I enjoy all styles of beer ... from blonde ales to stouts, from simple American beer to German Weissbiers! But, my staple beer, the one I'm going to drink routinely at home, and when I can find it at restaurants and bars, has to be...

An Elegant Feeling!

Tue, 26 Dec 2000 13:25:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I travel a great deal for business, to a variety of destinations. I have occasionally had the opportunity to stay at some great resort hotels, but typically stay at hotels of moderate price. However, I was in Greenwich, CT a couple weeks before...

A Wonder of the World

Review Topic: Sights & Attractions

I recently visited Ireland for the first time, for a business conference held near Shannon, in the southwest. The conference organizers provided us a good deal of local culture by...

Years Ago, Yet Still Memorable!

Mon, 21 Aug 2000 23:33:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I've witten all my Epinions reviews on products and services that I had utilized quite recently. This review of the Costa Riviera will be my first exception. My wife and I took this cruise nine years ago along with our elder son. Back then, he was our...

Why pay more?

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 23:56:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I think the name "Evolution" means the evolution of the old "Spire" model of harness. Someone from REI can correct me if I'm wrong. But, regardless of whether I'm right or wrong on that point, I see some REAL VALUE in REI's...

You've just gotta hear this one!!!

Sat, 15 Jul 2000 09:27:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I flew home to Boston from Phoenix yesterday on America West. I arrived early for my 9AM flight. To America West's credit, they had the check-in counters well manned, keeping check-in lines to a minimum. The monitors clearly showed my flight delayed...

Counterpoint to LA

Sun, 4 Jun 2000 09:31:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I'm a Bostonian and I travel to LA at least twice a year. I work at USC and stay at Venice Beach. It's great to enjoy a bit of LA beaches and LA downtown. But, to find such a unique and exquisite destination a short 3 hours away is phenomenal. Joshua...

Great for Big Eaters and Picky Eaters!!!

Sat, 13 May 2000 21:15:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I feel particularly well prepared to write this review, as my family and I just had a great meal at Bisuteki less than an hour ago. As usual, the chef was entertaining and the food was filling and delicious. The central focus of the restaurant is the...

Nice Sharp Edges, Nice Sticky Rubber!

Thu, 11 May 2000 21:34:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I really love Scarpa climbing shoes! And the Dominator displayed some admirable traits. Great Edging! Great smearing! And really comfortable, too (for a climbing shoe). The Dominator is also an extremely good balance of support and sensitivity...

Goran Ain't Borin'

Thu, 11 May 2000 18:17:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author climb - When I first heard about a guy bicycling from Sweden to Mt. Everest before climbing the world's highest peak, I thought, "More junk sports! What's next? Setting a record for number of pizzas eaten before climbing Everest?" Then, I saw Goran...

GREAT FOR BOSTONIANS!!! ... AND EVERYONE ELSE!!!

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 13:35:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I took the Boston-to-Bermuda cruise aboard the Norwegian Majesty with my wife and two sons. This was our family vacation in the summer of 1998. This was, of course, before the vessel was "stretched". Yes, I have heard the horror stories that...

B3000, Not Bad ... But Not Great!

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 10:08:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author climb - Until six months ago, I drove a Mazda B3000. I owned it for six years, but put very low mileage on it, approximately 8,000 miles per year (I live 3 miles from work). It had an extended cab, a 6 cylinder, 3.0 liter engine, and was 2 wheel drive,...

71 Opinions Already?!?! ... Well, Here's One More.

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 17:29:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - Please take a look at the review below. I wrote it on April 8, 2000. This is just a quick update 6-1/2 years later to let you know that my 1999 Toyota Tacoma is still going strong. Almost a year ago, I heard a rattling noise. Surprisingly, it was a...

Not Even Australian, Damn It!

Tue, 28 Mar 2000 21:37:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I used to drink Foster's every now and then! But, I got really perturbed when I noticed they had started brewing it in Canada. It reminded me of the Lowenbrau debacle of my (much) younger years. Lowenbrau was truly a premium imported beer, heavier and...

Slight Bite on a "Dark" Night!

Tue, 28 Mar 2000 21:05:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I'm not a big fan of dark beer. But, I am a big fan of Harpoon. So, over the past month, I've bought a few twelve-packs of Harpoons mixed selection: three bottles of Ale, three of Pilsner, three of IPA, and three of Munich Type Dark. I was a bit...

Great series! Great video!

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 22:20:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author climb - "Masters of Stone" is a great series of videos, and "Masters of Stone 2: HARD ROCK" is my favorite. Climbers like Ron Kauk, Dan Osman, and Kurt Smith, scenery and routes at places like Yosemite, the Needles, and Joshua Tree ... a...

Depends What You Are Used To!

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 19:26:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author climb - I really enjoyed climbing in the old Aces (black with green accent) for years. They were really great ... lots of support, but still a reasonable bit of grip and sensitivity. I recently bought a pair of the new Aces! ... $150? ... Yeah, right! I found...
