It was across the street from my meetings so the convenience trumped any trepidation I might have had about staying at a new hotel. Check-in was smooth and efficient. The lobby is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~278240202372 Mon, 13 Nov 2006 00:19:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_278240202372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_268444995204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iesosa - We checked in at 2:45pm and were told by the reception that our room was ready but needed to be "inspected". We are asked if we wanted tea while we wait. 30 minutes later there was no tea and no room. Exasperated, I told them to give us whatever room was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~268444995204 Fri, 20 Oct 2006 16:04:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_268444995204?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_257644727940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iesosa - I flew first class on BA from Boston to Singapore and back. This ticket costs more than $12,0000 but I feel I did not get my money's worth. The fully flat bed is as comfortable as ever and the cabin on all 4 flight segments was clean and modern.

I have the 4gb edition in black and get about 18 hours of music on one charge. Secondly, the shell of the unit is now finished in brushed aluminum while the screen itself is made of much tougher clear plastic.

I had to book the Fullerton because the Ritz was full. The Fullerton is in what looks like a converted federalist style government building.

This is not a cheap radio and in fact, exceeds the price of most Ipods. I had to read the instruction booklet several times to activate the radio and understand how to prerecord my favorite show,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~253629271684 Sun, 10 Sep 2006 15:12:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_253629271684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_252312784516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author iesosa - I have been staying in this hotel several times a year since it opened in 2001. It dawned on me that the whole "W" concept has become a cliche. By this I mean, the concept of hotels with modern design, cool atmosphere, beautiful people working at the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~252312784516 Sun, 3 Sep 2006 23:13:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_252312784516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_230489689732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iesosa - I went from a Treo 650 to Blackberry 7100g to the Blackberry 8700g. The 8700 is just fantastic. The screen is ultra bright and surprise, surprise, the battery life is awesome.

I hated the phone feature on the 7230 because it was clumsy. The hang-up button was right where you held the phone so I was constantly hanging-up.

Nothing was frayed or looked in need of being replaced. The restaurants in the hotel-and in Anguilla- are terribly expensive and just plain awful.
