rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author karma95 - I stayed at the Hilton San Francisco for a week in July 2008. My partner was attending a conference at the Moscone Center so I tagged along from the free trip. The hotel is located at the edge of the Tenderloin (a rundown area blighted with graffiti,...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author karma95 - Friends of ours belong to a time-share organization and had a week to use-or-lose. Since they weren't available to travel, they offered it to us. Having never been to Las Vegas, we decided to see if there was availability there. We were reserved in...

Adequate Hotel - a bit far from the attractions

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 17:15:23 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author karma95 - I stayed at the Courtyard Palm Desert in December 2007 (28-30). We wanted a place close to Palm Springs. On the map it looked fairly close, but when you consider that one block is a mile long, you realize it's not as close as you'd thought. We got a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author karma95 - A few years ago I purchased my first Apple mp3 player: the Mini. I purchased the one that could hold about 1,000 songs since I figured my CD collection couldn't possibly have more songs than that. I was wrong. As a result, I constantly had to...

Tue, 8 May 2007 14:41:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karma95 - I first went to Paris for a week back in October 2005. I'm fortunate in that I have a friend living on Ile-St Louis so I didn't have to deal with paying for lodging. This review will be an overview of things I enjoyed that you might enjoy, also...

A Truly Unique Place

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author karma95 - I went to Amsterdam in June 2006 for 4 days. It was somewhat last minute during a vacation in Paris that we decided to rent a car and go to Amsterdam. My first suggestion (if you drive) is to NOT enter the city with the car. The city has a program...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author karma95 - I've been to Mother Anna's a few times. The location is great - and is only going to get better (which is an unusual thing to say for an inanimate object). Now that the Big Dig highway project is nearing completion, the old central artery has been torn...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author karma95 - I stayed at the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental for one night.

A movie we can all relate to

Wed, 14 Feb 2001 16:15:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karma95 - I have to start out by saying that I had never seen a Debbie Reynolds movie before and didn't know much about her prior to this movie. In this movie she played the role of a mother to perfection - I thought it must be because she was Carrie Fisher's...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karma95 - Even before the movie was released I knew I would love it. For a few months prior to its 1997 release, I saw the trailers and couldn't stop laughing.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karma95 - This is amazing. I've been using an electric toothbrush for the past 6 years. I originally started with a Braun toothbrush and thought it was great.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author karma95 - I've had discman's for the past 5 years or so. In the past, I always bought the yellow and black Sony Sport Discman. Compared to others, it had pretty good protection against skipping (ESP) but it would still skip on occasion.
