rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yinyang - A friend and I just took a four day, three night midweek trip from Nassau to Cat Island. Neither of us had ever been there before, and we have been to several Family islands in the Bahamas. We wanted to relax and hang out, and we got to do exactly...

Buttery Smooth

Sun, 18 Nov 2001 14:55:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yinyang - My roommate gave me a gift pack from The Body Shop about a month ago with all cocoa butter products. A full size bar of cocoa butter soap was among them. I was a little wary, knowing the rich, thick scent of The Body Shop's nut butter cream; but I was...

Living Up the Road From South Shore Park

Fri, 7 Sep 2001 13:49:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yinyang - South Shore Park, with its many coves and bays, is an incredible beautiful stretch of land. Each bit of park is connected to the ocean, and kept litter-free, so visitors get the best of both worlds- a bit of forest and a bit of beach. I am living and...

London Calling

Mon, 21 May 2001 09:42:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yinyang - Maeve Binchy has done it again. I always kind of looked down on her books as 'ladies books', something I would not want to waste my time with. I was so wrong, especially when it comes to her short stories.

At this point, I have read six of...

You Go, Girls!!!

Sun, 13 May 2001 21:11:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yinyang - It's Mother's Day, and my mom and I went to see 'The Vagina Monologues' at the Wilbur Theater in Boston. It was her idea, and it was a good one.

Rosie Perez, Debi Mazar, and Robin Givens were the three ladies in the lineup. They all wore...

Return to Binchy

Tue, 1 May 2001 20:37:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yinyang - I really, really enjoyed this book. I have only read a few Maeve Binchy books- I read 'The Lilac Bus' a long time ago and didn't think it was that great. Last month I read 'Tara Road', cause it was an Oprah book, and I loved it. So I picked up 'The...

This Book Really Stinks

Sat, 21 Apr 2001 21:51:07 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author yinyang - 'Tribulation Force' is forcing me to gag. I thought 'Left Behind' was a great book, with an exciting premise, that didn't get preachy until the end. 'Tribulation Force' begins preachy and stays that way, at least until page 231 where I stopped wasting...

Boston Lager- Yum Yum!

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 16:51:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yinyang - I went to a Sam Adams keg party the other night and it was definitely the classiest one I've ever been to. We sipped instead of gulped, and enjoyed the lingering flavor in our mouths.

The flavor is light yet distinctive. You couldn't...

Bahamas- An expatriot's point of view

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yinyang - I lived in Nassau for two years, working as a teacher. I had a chance to explore a new culture, a new lifestyle, and several family islands. It was a fabulous experience, overall, but everything is not always glorious in paradise.

Nassau is...

Nassau- I lived there

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 16:05:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yinyang - I lived in Nassau for two years while working as a teacher. The great things about Nassau were the weather, helpful people, outdoor sports, and constant nightlife. The bad things about Nassau were pushy vendors and high crime.

The weather is...

Abaco Inn: Abaco Inn- a dream vacation

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 16:03:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yinyang - A friend and I stayed at Abaco Inn two years ago, before it got hit by a hurricane. It may be a bit changed now, but when we were there, it was fabulous.

We flew into Marsh Harbor, Abaco, from Nassau. Then we took a short ferry to Elbow...

Nacional de Cuba: The Nacional- A Sense of History

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 16:02:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yinyang - The Nacional is one of the most famous hotels in Cuba. It is located in the nicest area of Havana, right on Central Park. Nothing in Cuba is very expensive, and neither is the National.

What I loved about it was the opulence in the common...
