Centrally located on the hot block of P between 14th and 15th, Commissary has a fantastic weekend brunch chock full of great food and cute customers. Alcohol service begins at 11, but after that the mimosas (and other juice & champagne variations) are great coupled with the limited but delicious menu choices. Real buttermilk pancakes, fresh pastries, and healthy meat selections made for a tasty meal. A tip: be prepared to wait for a table, as much of the indoor area is dedicated to some loungy-couch seating that the management would do better to clear away and replace with tables on busy weekend mornings.

Dupont Circle seems to be devoid of anywhere to go for breakfast on a weekday, but Kramerbooks & Afterwords is the one fabulous exception. The menu was short and sweet, but included some great omelets, benedicts, and other breakfast staples (my whole-wheat belgian waffle was terrific!). The Cafe area is in a glass enclosed outdoor patio that looks like it can be opened up in summer weather, and while simple, the decor was pleasing enough. Good wait-staff and happy customers made for a pleasant morning. And when you're though, you can browse the fabulous bookstore for anything from gay fiction to political commentary.

I have stayed at this hostel, and enjoyed staying there. It's a place that is clean, nice looking, and nice friendly staff.

I went to Krave on sunday night and it was already closed when I got there so I shared a cab with a guy and a lesbian, and we went there, i liked the place a lot even though it was really funny that they had mexican music on one side, the bartender kept giving me free drinks and the bouncer was really nice.. I really wish I could remember the name of the guy that I shared the cab with, he was really nice.

This mega-resort on the Kohala Coast of The Big Island is spread out on more than 60 acres of ocean-front property and has over 1,200 rooms. Transportation to your room from the open-air hotel lobby is provided by monorails or canal boats. You can browse a small art gallery featuring Hawaiian artists. There are several dining options, all of which are fairly expensive. The three swimming pools have the usual mega-resort artificial waterfalls and water slides. In addition, there is a man-made salt water lagoon, complete with a sandy beach, for swimming and snorkeling. For an additional fee, you can participate in a dolphin encounter right on the property. This resort provides an interesting and fun fantasy resort experience, as opposed to an authentic Hawaiian experience.

The Marriott City Center is located in the business district of Salt Lake City, and seems to have an atmosphere that caters to businessmen. The lobby has a slightly business-like/stuffy feel to it. The employees were friendly and extremely accommodating. Our room was a reasonable size, and the bathroom was surprisingly large with very nice amenities. Valet and self-parking facitilies are available.

On September 2, 1945, in Tokyo Bay, the Japanese signed their unconditional surrender to the Allied Forces, thus finally ending World War II. The surrender ceremony was conducted by Gen. Douglas MacArthur on board the USS Missouri. The battleship continued in service for another 40 years, after which it sailed into its retirement home in Pearl Harbor. The starting point for the tours of the USS Missouri is next to the USS Arizona Memorial. Shuttle service is provided to Ford Island to begin the tour. I recommend that you choose the guided tour, since it is conducted by retired military personnel who are able point out the exact location of the surrender ceremony and provide other interesting insights.
