rick081963 says "Amazing features for the price" about Marantz - ZR6001 Receiver

rick081963 — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 23:45:06 GMT

I bought this system not knowing anything about it except that it said Marantz. The features and availbility to expand this unit are amazing. Easy to work and easy to set up it will accomodate anything from your basic analog system to your HDTV digital or fiber inputs. Multi function selections allow you to listen to different music in different rooms. The only downside is that speaker B can only accept digital or analog whereas the other selections can accept both and auto detect the input.

rick081963 says "This is the standard by which all other inclusives should go" about Bahia Principe Tulum - Tulum, Mexico

rick081963 — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 23:39:29 GMT

This was the first all inclusive resort we stayed at anywhere and thus far none have compared to this one. The service, the FOOD, the amount of food and other dining areas, the pool, private or open beaches, bars and availabilty of tours. There is nothing to compare to this place. We have stayed at Aventura Spa Palace and that place doesn't even hold a candle to Bahia Principe Tulum and the great part is that Bahia Principe Akumal is on the same property giving you about 15 restaurants to choose from and 2 huge "buffet style" breakfast, lunch and dinner areas.

rick081963 says "Ramble on at Las Ramblas" about Las Ramblas, Barcelona, Spain

If you get to Spain, don't miss Barcelona and definitely take a stroll down Las Ramblas both day and night. We found we didn't have to worry about valuables but we also kept our money, credit cards and other things in pockets that would be hard to impossible to get to also. I highly recommend the Market at Las Ramblas and we also purchased quite a bit of local art from the area. The eating in that area is not as good as off the beaten path but the nightlife around that area is amazing.

rick081963 says "A revolutionary product that changed the way music is listened" about Apple - iPod Video White (30 GB) Media Player

Despite the bad reviews on the battery life this product performs well and has plenty of space for most people. I have an exentensive music collection of about 15,000 songs and it can hold most of them. I have never had the thing lose songs or malfunction and in the year I have had it the battery life has only diminished a small amount. I would recommend to anyone to get this one or the new touch screen version.

rick081963 says "Try this rum, it's well worth the price" about Cruzan Single Barrel Rum

rick081963 — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 23:21:18 GMT

This rum aged from 8 - 10 years is way underrated by most. For the $30 bottle price it works well with ice only or a splash of Sprite Zero. Even the 2 year estate rum that is cheaper than Bacardi is better than Bacardi. The only negative to the Cruzan line is that the flavored rums are less alcohol content than the Barcardi flavored.
