Fantastic Deal, Great Cruise

Fri, 2 Nov 2001 01:18:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - Royal Caribbean is my favorite cruise line. They have, by far, the happiest crew as well as the most diverse passengers. For me, this is what I seek: a fun (but not overly loud and obnoxious) trip with other happy people. I found this on the Majesty of...

Britax Works in An Accident

Wed, 11 Jul 2001 19:35:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - With 2 children under the age of 3, I have been through my share of low quality, uncomfortable carseats. In each instance, I "cheaped out" and bought something that looked cute and promised a good fit to both my child and car...only to find myself back...

My Stroller SUV

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 22:18:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - I researched the various double strollers prior to having my second child and hate to say it, but it came down to price. I had an online coupon for a baby store (now defunct) and got a FANTASTIC deal on the Baby Trend Caravan Lite LX. That said, I really...

Great Information, Great Writing

Mon, 23 Apr 2001 00:25:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - As a parent to a child with Autism, I own just about every book that deals with the subject. Many are OK, some are downright BAD. This funny thing is that I went out and bought about 20 books when our son was first diagnosed...then stuck them on the...

Expedia Cruises: I never should have booked with Expedia

Mon, 23 Apr 2001 00:10:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - I am a veteran cruiser. I have been on my share of cruises and booked through traditional travel agents as well as on-line agents. I took a chance with Expedia Cruises and...well..wish I had not.

One Sunday afternoon a couple of months ago, I...

I returned the Nokia 8260

Thu, 12 Apr 2001 00:40:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - OK, so I'm on my 5th mobile phone in 4 years. It's not like I want to get a new one every few months. Unfortunately, they tend to get "lost" or dropped in the lake. So, I found myself at a crossroads last week. Do I stay with Sprint or switch to...

Love this Company!

Sun, 11 Feb 2001 00:58:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - When I received a duplicate Alphabet Train Floor Puzzle at my son's 2nd birthday, I knew I had a problem. Without realizing it, I had managed to buy ALL of the puzzles that Lights Camera Interaction makes. Gulp. My son loves them so much, I just kept...

Just Returned this Carseat

Sat, 27 Jan 2001 19:36:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - I have been a loyal user of Britax products for almost 2 years. They have served me faithfully, so what do I do? Go out and buy a Graco seat for the convenience of having a pop in and out seat on a base. I almost made a huge mistake that really could...

Super Barney Fun

Wed, 3 Jan 2001 01:38:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - I'll admit that I personally can't stand Barney and was hesitant about actually purchasing one of these videos. However, my son really likes animals and as Barney's Singing Circus is on DVD, I relented. We watched it for the first time today, and I'll...

High Quality, Fun for Toddlers

Wed, 3 Jan 2001 01:27:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - I bought the Little Linguist when our son was 6 months old. He was too young to use it alone, then, but with our help he soon learned how to play with what is now one of his favorite toys. This is a high-quality, well designed toy that costs a lot up...

Las Vegas Casinos: The New Aladdin

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 12:31:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - We were among the first to stay at the newly reconstructed Aladdin Hotel & Casino on the Strip. From the belly dancers in the lobby to the exquisite mirrors and light fixtures decorating every floor, the Aladdin transports guests to a land seemingly...

They're Expensive, but Worth It!

Sat, 22 Jul 2000 15:44:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - When I started my Battle of the Diapers 18 months ago, I paid close attention to all the TV ads promising "fewer leaks" "less mess" and "less irritation"...blah blah blah. It all comes down to two simple concepts. First,...

National Airlines: Why I love flying again...

Thu, 13 Jul 2000 18:23:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - I generally dislike flying. Flying, to me, is like being in the Thriller video. You're surrounded by a bunch of surly, annoyed folks who would rather be anywhere than the airport. Coupled with the fact that 90% are late to whatever they're trying to do...

OK, So I Stayed at the Bellagio for the Buffet.

Fri, 2 Jun 2000 01:26:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - Last month hubby and I took our first sans-toddler vacation and ventured into Las Vegas ALONE. I absolutely love Las Vegas, and for this, our brief 2 night getaway, I wanted something very special. After intense internet research (ok, so all my internet...

Britax Freeway Plus Car Seat: Finally, The World's Best Forward Facing Seat

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 22:41:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - I was pretty skeptical when I heard about how "great" the Freeway carseat is. I was REALLY skeptical when I saw that it was $160. After all, my year-old kiddo would rather do just about anything that sit, confined in a carseat. And he is quite vocal...

Finally, A Stroller We Love!

Sat, 20 Nov 1999 23:17:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - We were pretty skeptical about all we'd heard about the Flash Prestige. Sure, it seemed like a neat, compact stroller, but we'd been through 5 and Baby was still unhappy. After a month using this stroller, we wish we'd discovered it sooner.

An Enchanting Week

Wed, 10 Nov 1999 00:00:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - Royal Caribbean had some expectations to live up to. I arrived at the port, pen in hand, ready to hash out the criticisms. You know what? I could find very, very little to rag about. So little, in fact, I can officially say I have not only experienced...

Sprint: A Fantastic Deal

Fri, 15 Oct 1999 22:16:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - I signed up with Sprint PCS the day they began offering service in the Austin area. I've been through 3 phones...but only ONE company: Sprint PCS. I have to say, I've been extremely pleased with the quality of service. The only drawback...the phones wear...

AOL: Not THAT Bad...

Fri, 15 Oct 1999 18:40:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - I've been a "loyal" AOL member for 6 years. I smirk using the work loyal because they bug the you know what out of me. We, as AOL users, have to put up with a lot. But, all in all, we do get a lot in return. With the exception of the chats...

Magic in the Sorcerers Stone

Fri, 15 Oct 1999 14:54:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - I must admit, I have a degree in Children's Literature. I waited a few weeks to purchase the first of, now, three books because I wanted to experience the book as both an educator and parent. I wanted to see what others had to say so that I could look...

Expedia Flight Reservations: Expedia: Good Deals to Go!

Fri, 15 Oct 1999 14:35:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - I've watched Expedia evolve over the past few years. It has gone from a somewhat useful, but slow mess to an efficient, reliable source for cheap fares. And, you can select your own seats through Seatmaps. I have to honestly say there are very few...

Travelocity Flight Reservations: Travelocity: Same as the Others?

Thu, 14 Oct 1999 16:53:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - I've been purchasing tickets online for 5 years...in other words, since before Travelocity, Expedia, Priceline and the others. So, I have had a lot to experience watching different sites appear and evolve with the times. The one that has done so with the...

Graco LiteRider Stroller: Great Idea...Poor Design

Wed, 13 Oct 1999 15:44:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - I thought the toys attached to the tray were a great idea...and they are. It's the rest of the stroller that is not only poorly designed, but unsafe as well.

First, the good points. The attached toys are great for keeping Mr. Fussypants'...

Don't Pass Up Continental

Tue, 12 Oct 1999 22:40:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - All the airline flyer programs are alike, right? Well, not really. I defected from American's program after losing all my miles after the "time limit". I like Continental as much as I like American. However, I will choose Continental over AA...

Here Come the Teletubbies!

Tue, 12 Oct 1999 13:43:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sleonard - It's sad to say, but when my baby hears the name "Tinky Winky" he lights up more than mama or dada. We don't take it personally, after all, Tinky Winky is his best friend. We're just his parents :)

I discovered the Teletubbies when a...
