A Capitol Offence - how we by-passed US security by accident

Advantages: It's free and it's pretty interesting as big state buildings go
Disadvantages: You can't ensure you don't get any boring nutters in your tour group

...Last May my husband and I took a two week trip to Colorado to visit a friend who lives on the outskirts of Denver. The trip was to use up my remaining leave from the company I worked for before I started working for a new company. As a result of being a bit overwhelmed in the new role, I didn't get round to writing much at all about the things we saw on that trip. To be fair, we'd got through most of the holiday without seeing anything much of Denver so on the day before we were due to leave we thought we'd better put in a pretty intense day of city tourism to avoid the complaints of "You went to Denver and you didn't even see the......." when we got back. With great advice from our host, we set off to see the Colorado State Capitol as our first stop of the day. State Capitols - one design fits all We approached...

Review of Colorado State Capitol Building, Denver

Washington Court Hotel - a great base in D.C.

Advantages: Modern, Friendly, Great Location for the Sights
Disadvantages: No free WiFi, Not much locally in the evening

...The Washington Court Hotel is a premier, 268 bedroom, downtown Washington, D.C. hotel in a great central location, just three blocks from the US Capitol Building and national mall. The hotel has been recently remodeled and offers a modern and stylish base for enjoying the city This hotel caters for business travelers - I have stayed on both weekdays and the weekend and noticed the lack of visible customers on the weekend days. The Rooms ... I always book a "Deluxe Room" when staying here. In the spirit of most US hotels rooms often feature two Double beds, but I always make sure to ask for one King size bed instead - here these rooms are the same price that is a bit of a bonus. The bed is amazing! The blankets are double sheeted, there are loads of pillows and it is really comfortable. The feather mattress topper and duvet...

Review of Washington Court Hotel on Capitol Hill, Washington, DC

No cars, just shops, shops, shops

Advantages: An electric mix of shops and market stalls.
Disadvantages: Maybe, just maybe could be a little cleaner looking in some places.

...Cardiff is a shopper?s paradise. There is ample car parking (but you have to pay for it), its well serviced by buses and the train station not that far away. Outdoor shopping, modern indoor malls, quaint arcades and a huge indoor market all go to make up the ?Cardiff Shopping Experience?. All the main high street shops are centred surprisingly around the high street (Queen Street), whilst the numerous long and winding oldie worlde arcades offer such a magical mix of shops with not a whiff of high street commercialism/consumerism in sight. The modern indoor malls are always clean but absolutely jam-packed with people at lunch times. One of them deserves a mention here and that?s the Capitol Shopping Centre. Its architecture is very, very modern combining gravity defying wall of shop front glass as well as a glass bridge that you can...

Review of Capitol Shopping Centre

Pour another Martini and kick back

Advantages: Top sounds of swing, country and vegas high rollers
Disadvantages: Shows Mr Sinatra up for the fraud that he was

...The Rat Pack. Vegas. Fun and laughs at the Sands Casino. Frank and Sammy. Who really wants to forgt a crew of guys who epitomise the whole ethos of cool? Certainly not me. But of that group one man stood head and shoulders above the others. He was rugged, strong and could sing songs so effortlessly that it sounded like he could do it in his sleep. Dean Martin was not only as enigmatic as Frank Sinatra, and as funny as Sammy Davis Jr, but he had a talent for turning songs into something special. During the British invasion of the American charts in the Sixties, he as one of the few who managed to fend off the Beatles from the top positions. This "Very Best of" album is certainly that as for the first time it gathered together the hits from his stint with both Capitol Records and Reprise Records. Dean managed to move...

Review of Portland

Excellent Game 5/5

Advantages: Hours of gameplay
Disadvantages: A few minor glitches

...Fallout 3 is a great game which has won numerous awards such as game of the year. It attributes features karma, so you can decide whether to make your player good or bad. Fallout 3 is set in Washington DC in the year 2277, 200 years after the nuclear war which destroyed the game world in an alternate post-World War II timeline. Your character is either a boy or girl (you choose) who's father escapes from Vault 101to pursue in making the water purifier work. The "Lone wanderer" then makes foot through the treacherous wasteland which once use to be the Capitol City. How you want to make it through, you have to decide. I would recommend anyone who enjoys RPG (Role-playing Games) to buy Fallout 3...
