New Beds at Radisson

2004 Honda Pilot Soars
The word "pilot" has special meaning to me. It was twenty-five years ago this month that I tested for and received my pilot's license. I consider it one of my finest accomplishments, though in the past few years with costs going through the roof, I have drastically underutilized my ability. For me then, the Honda Pilot infers many positive attributes. [SOAR]

Star of the Cyclades

Wind cracks through the sails on the replica 19th century schooner. The tourists readjust their limp bodies on deck, irritated by the canvas' shadows. They are stripped and slathered in sun lotion, greedy for sun rays, even while cruising the legendary bay of Thira. The five islands are better known as Santorini, the star of the Cyclades. [GO]




'05 Mercedes E320 CDI -
Puts Fine Edge on Diesel
