She said several times they didn't "do that" when making requested arrangements but when another in the group made the same request (about a month later) Bibi changed her mind. When she contacted me to report her new service, I had already made other arrangements. I also got more help from my airlines in visa applications than from her. No help if shots or pills needed for the Vietnam area. For international trip assistance, she is not that willing to help. Defensive!! Tour leader in Vietnam was fabulous!

In November of 2023 I booked a bike and barge trip out of Amsterdam for June of 2024…read more One month prior to departure Bibi, the president of the company, called to inform me that my name had not been added to the roster, the tour was full and my vacation was cancelled. The cost of the tour was refunded but no offer was made to make amends for their mistake. I contacted Nationwide, the company with whom I had purchased travel insurance, to file a claim to cover the loss of $2,450 in airfare. I had not purchased a refundable ticket given that I had travel insurance. Nationwide declined the claim stating that although they covered a wide variety of circumstances leading to trip cancellations, an error made by a tour company was not among them. I contacted Sojourn to inform them of the claim denial and to request reimbursement for my flight. They declined to provide any assistance. I have travelled with Sojourn over the years. Their refusal to offer compensation for their mistake, in my opinion, demonstrates a profound departure from their former commitment to client satisfaction.

We hosted an event at Burly Axe with a very large group, and the staff we absolutely amazing.

The event was so much more successful than I anticipated, and everyone had a blast throwing axes. The bar is great, and there are great food options closeby to bring in takeout. I highly recommend checking out Burly Axe -- for a date night, a group outing, or a large event. They were a pleasure to partner with, and we're so grateful for their support!

Him going around from stall to stall also seemed to help. My husband wanted to throw one handed and the instructor taught him the best technique to get it to stick.

It seems that at some point it was moved here to the parking lot of a business from a shorter concrete slab in the woods. It's not really the tallest filing cabinet. It's a stack of regular-height filing cabinets attached to one another into a column, so it's less impressive or creative. Structurally, it is a vertical stack of separate cabinets turned into a sculpture, not a purpose-built giant cabinet with 38 drawers. It's covered by vandals' stickers and markings. It hasn't been treated and since they aren't meant to be outdoors, rust and weather damage has taken severe effect. Each drawer represents a year of bureaucratic delays related to a proposed highway project in Burlington called the Southern Connector, first proposed in 1965. Some of the drawers contain catalogued fragments of a shredded red Volkswagen Beetle. Of course, you can't see it though.

RIght in the center of Burlington you will find beautiful Church Street Marketplace. The…read moremarketplace is a pedestrian zone that spans a few blocks and is filled with shops, restaurants, and cafes. It's very pleasant to stroll along Church Street, especially in the summertime and there are plenty of benches where you can sit and people watch. Church Street Marketplace has a mixture of chain and local stores. You can find everything from used books, to outdoor gear to name brand clothing. My favorite stores at Golden Hour where you can find lots of cute gifts, Smugglers Notch Distillery where you can sample delicious vodka, gin, bourbon, and maple liqueur, and Flora & Fauna - a second floor store filled with curiosities and oddities. Unfortunately, The 10,000 Villages store that I always enjoyed visiting, the Sox Market, and the Earthbound Store that I always found beautiful clothing in have all closed. There's also a great Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop on Church Street, several restaurants in a range of price levels, and some very comfortable cafes. Definitely a place you will want to spend some time visiting when you are in Burlington.

The instructors at Water and Rock are excellent. Japheth, the owner, is another story. He is an…read moreextremely aggressive business person who uses stringent contracts to bind his customers (and employees) into unreasonable situations. Japheth has an excellent sales pitch but fails to deliver on his promises. He is not a medical professional or even a certified yoga instructor. He is not an expert in martial arts or any of the other services he claims to provide. He is a cutthroat business person, more concerned with making a quick buck than helping his clients. Worse still, his advice is bogus and in some cases dangerous. After my wife was diagnosed with ovarian cysts, Japheth (completely inappropriately) suggested that she soak her tampons in essential oils to cure her cysts. Ever heard of toxic shock syndrome Japheth? He also believes that static electricity is only due to "toxic load" and that changing your lifestyle will prevent it... (Yikes! That's sounds like a crazy person!) Give him five minutes of your time and he'll surprise you with some other insane unfounded health advice. This business IS Japheth, don't be fooled by the marketing or the sales pitch. The instructors he employs are fantastic, but he pays them less than minimum wage (again, he's an aggressive contract oriented business person). And worse than that, he peddles absolutely insane health advice and truly believes his own nonsense. DONT SIGN A CONTRACT WITH HIM! He will fight you tooth and nail to cancel it and he has no conscience. ***Also, his studio is a filthy unkempt mess....***

I wish we were staying more than 1 night during our week vacation here in Vermont from Michigan. Many instruments around the home you can enjoy and play. Since leaving this morning we've already discussed coming back in the future. You can't go wrong with choosing this home. Great walking distance to maybe places around.
