Oberoi
Resort - Mauritius
The
Oberoi Mauritius is all about retreating from reality. First of all, it's on the
island nation of Mauritius, located east of Africa, south of the equator, surrounded
by the Indian Ocean. Secondly, it's spread across its 20 acres, and there are
76 separate villas - sort of like guesthouses in a giant garden on the beach.
Then, add in a spa...and it just can't get any better. [GO]

'04 Compact SUV Buyer's Guide We
went looking for this year's best "cute utes," those less-than-monstrous,
multi-functional sport utility-type vehicles that can do double -- or even triple
-- duty without losing their basic good looks or costing a fortune to operate,
and to do it all with a truly affordable pricetag.
What we came up with for our Cute Ute Buyers Guide for '04, after
considerable mulling, is a list of what we believe to be the best, most up-to-date
and trendiest buys in a small, affordable sport utility field that seems to change
by the hour.

German neophyte to land.

Nissan Maxima Road Test
The
crisp exterior designs hint at the car's athletic persona and its powerful engine,
although the spacious passenger cabin with notable amenities for comfort portrays
a different image. This contradiction really makes Maxima stand out in a field
full of sedan competitors.
