Wake Up, We're Going Shopping

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - There are two days a year on which my wife and I get up real early on purpose and those days are Black Friday when we go into Macys in New York City and Labor Day when we make the trip to Tanger Outlets in Riverhead Long Island. We've done this the last...

Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Springfield: Hall of Hoops

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 13:19:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - To me, the best thing about going somewhere on the road isn't the final destination but the stops that are taken on the way. You can be impulsive and go anywhere, and I love the freedom and lack of structure that goes with it. They enhance the overall...

Quechee Gorge

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 19:43:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - Quechee (pronounced Kwi-chee)Gorge makes this park a necessary stop if you are in the eastern region of Vermont. The entire state of Vermont is beautiful all year round and my wife and I were there in the first week of July. While it was approaching 100...

Forty years ago in June

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - Forty years ago, on the dawn of June 5th, my father, at the age of twenty, was driven with his battalion across the Israeli-Egyptian border, and then walked into Sinai knowing he was walking into war. He has told me little more then that about his...

Glatt On Demand Online Store: Like Omaha Steaks, but kosher!

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 11:11:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - I keep kosher and to get quality meat I usually schlep about 30 minutes into Brooklyn. I don't mind the trip because my wife and I like to pick and choose what we get and we do other things when we go there. However, we were in need of restocking our...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - I'm an independent financial planner in New York and a key part of planning is to have the right type and amount of life insurance at the right cost. Reliastar, which was acquired by ING several years ago, does business in New York as Reliastar of...

A town called Lucca

Mon, 11 Sep 2000 04:19:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - To actually see people that are not tourists in Italy, you have to get out of the big cities, the big tourist destinations which I loved like Rome, Florence and Venice. My friends and I wanted to see a little bit of how people in Italy actually live,...

How to experience nature in Brooklyn

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 18:59:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - Walking through the streets of Brooklyn, sucking in all the fumes and pollution, I can’t help but imagine myself surrounded by a completely different environment. Somewhere where I’m not surrounded by millions and millions of people, cars and buses, but...

"He treats objects like women"

Thu, 29 Jun 2000 19:45:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - There are so many funny scenes and lines in this movie that it is imperative to go rent it or buy it. It's probably a movie I should own because every few months me and some friends will start quoting lines from this film like it was our job and then we...

Plan R for Rebres

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 03:24:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - I read an article in The New York Times that reminded me why I love the movie that made me laugh at war and the nuclear bomb. It was a pretty scary article, on the indoctrination into radicalization of young men in Pakistan. It discussed their desire...

Never pass up the opportunity to see a game here

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 04:25:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - My brother missed David Cone's perfect game last season when he passed on a chance to go the stadium. That showed him. While the games going on at the stadium should be motivation enough to make the trip, Yankee Stadium raises the value of the...

The Riviera - my own personal rap video

Wed, 29 Mar 2000 15:21:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - I almost apologize when I tell people what happened to me and my friends when we visited the French Riviera. For about two weeks we were pretty hardcore backpackers making up plans as we went along and finding places to sleep the same way, with...

Northern Israel - Hiking across the Galil

Sun, 19 Mar 2000 23:49:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - Despite Israel's small size, it, like America, has bodies of water on the east and west border. Very much unlike America, you can make it from one to the other on foot in a couple of days. It's a wonderful hike called the sea-to-sea hike and I was on...

Charles-towne Landing

Sun, 19 Mar 2000 20:42:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - After being on the highways of the east coast, all I wanted to do was be in a little bit of a natural environment, so on our way back to (no sleep till) Brooklyn we stopped at a place outside Charleston called Charles-town Landing. It's sounded...

it was a wrong turn, I swear

Wed, 8 Mar 2000 04:13:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - My friend and I were lost in Amsterdam one night when we turned a corner and saw the street bathed in a pinkish light coming from the buildings on both sides. Of course, we walked towards it and soon realized that the light signified our accidental...

ummm, we definitely should've gone the other way

Tue, 29 Feb 2000 04:54:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - Unfortunately, travelling requires a schedule that forces you to be places on time. Time spent in one place has to be cut in order to make it home in time or so you don't miss the bus to Jerusalem from Eilat. A second day in Petra, the beautiful lost...

Magnolia Plantation

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 05:21:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - On my road trip to Florida we made two stops in Charleston. All we really saw of the city were a couple of maps and the streets from our Cadillac’s windows. We did step out a couple of times in the city itself. We went to the oceanfront and saw what...

avoid Disney history

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 04:41:52 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - I loved everything Disney's parks had to offer. The rides and shows are fun and educational. On some level they are all neat and I agree with member wbdbaj that this is neat. It's cool to see all of our country's Presidents standing not quite lifelike...

the first time I ever skied

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 21:05:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - Beautiful Killington Vermont is the place where last week I flung myself down a mountain with pieces of plastic attached to my feet, the activity known as skiing, for the very first time ever. I'd seen it on TV tons of times and I rode a ski lift to get...

THE garden

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 18:05:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - MSG is a wonderful place to experience a game of basketball, on the professional or any other level. I've seen several games over the past few seasons, always from different areas (but never the front row....bummer)and I've always been impressed with...

no better place to start a European adventure

Sun, 2 Jan 2000 06:30:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - Prague was a city whose unique style, beauty all its own I'd heard about for a long time and it was because of this that I pushed hard to start my trip through Europe there. I'm so glad I did.

In my opinion (and with the ability to look back), it...

Thehungersite.com: something important

Wed, 29 Dec 1999 19:26:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - Activism can now be done in your pajamas. Too many times I've been on the computer for a while and have felt like I haven't done anything substantial, even writing epinions. From now on one site has changed all that: Thehungersite.com. Many people have...

Friday night, the old city of Jerusalem; a poem

Wed, 29 Dec 1999 04:54:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - The most spiritual place I have ever prayed is in the Old City of Jerusalem, at the Western Wall, and I'm lucky to have done it more then once. The first time was the most special and effected me the most; I had never before felt so connected to the...

so many places to start that you're never truly finished

Tue, 21 Dec 1999 04:35:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - Jerusalem is a city one cannot visit; it must be experienced from all angles and perspectives. There is so much to enjoy and absorb that my living there for a semester left me wanting more. It is different from anyplace else on Earth, but it's where I...

a spectacular place, up and down in and out, anytime

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 08:04:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebres - Israel is a country that has so much quality within its small borders that it proves that size doesn't count, that quality is the most important factor in judging things.

From any type of trip there, month-long or only for a week one can...
