	Crossair		1990	Until end of March 2002 our regional Europeanne air carrier
	Swiss		2003	Born out of the Crossair, our new regional and oversea Swiss airline. A first flight, but in business class. Excellent service and quality.

	Singapore Airlines		2002	Until 1999 they where 4 grapes worth, but now
	Garuda Indonesia			In 1989 I gave them four grapes, but today ...
	Cathay Pacific

	Air Berlin		2004	Cheap. At time. OK, it is not like the good old Swissair or Crossair. But to fly private and by my own money to a European city .....

	SilkAir	()	2002	Not bad, their flight from Mataram, Lombok to Singapore early in the evening and connecting flights to a lot oversea destinations. Definitly the better service in 2002 then the big "mother" in the background.

	Merpati Nusantara		1999	Indonesia's national domestic carrier. As more East you go as less grapes are they worth

Hotels:

	Marriott, Singapore		2002	In the past called Dynasty. That was always five grapes worth. Only that large wooden panels in the lobby. Fine again. And the large "TV Screen" by the pool during the Football World Championchips, let you relax, take a swim or a cool drink.
	Meritus Negara, Singapore		1998
	Orchard Hotel, Singapore

	Sheraton Senggigi		2002	The pool is at the minimum two grapes worth. (Website down since end of 2002 ?)

	Newa Sumba Resort		1999	Could this be realy the Garden of Eden ?

	Desa Segara (Village), Sanur	()	2002	The offical name is now Desa Segara. In the last three years they have done a lot. And we think for the better for the whole hotel area. No longer is everything under the strict rules of the balinese Hindu life. We understand this, when you have guest from tour operations like ITS Europe.
	Putri Bali, Nusa Dua		1989

	Quality Hotel Solo		2002	A nice pool area and goot entertainment in music room, when we stayed there

	Omni The HongKong			Yes, today its no longer a Omni hotel, it's a Marco Polo.

	Hotel Drachenburg		2002	A nice Place direct at the boarder of the lower lake of Constance, with the two Restaurant Drachenburg and Waaghaus.

	Holiday Inn at Universal		2003	Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites Entrance to Universal, Orlando
	Holiday Inn, Ft Myers Beach		2003	Holiday Inn in the South of Ft Myers Beach. Small but nice and direct at the beach front, but a short walk to the sea, about 500m.
	Holiday Inn, Key West	()	2003	Indifferent. Not the friendliest staff. But the pool area got the third grape.

	T.G.I. Friday's		2003	In the same block as our hotel in Orlando.
	Ponderosa Steakhouse		2003	Not only a steakhouse, near our hotel. They serve an American Breakfast buffet with all you want for a low price.
	Carrabba's Italian Grill		2003	An Italian style restarant near the Holiday Inn at Universal, Orlando. Good, but not cheap and typical clichee style, what US Citizen expect as Italien food.

	Walt Disney World		2003	No rating for the general Walt Disney parks. It is too long ago to say something about Anaheim and we don't visited all parks in Orlando, perhaps for the Magic Kingdom , for the MGM Studios and the Epcot Center .
	SeaWorld Parks		2003	SeaWorld of Florida always a visit worth. As a hint, when you stay longer in the Orlando area, they sell not only for other Anheuser-Busch Parks, like Busch Garden's and Discovery Cove combination tickets, they sell a ticket called Orlando Flexticket and that includes Universal Studios, Wet'n Wild and more. And don't forget Shamu has his own homepage.
	Edison Ford Winter Estate		2003	The Thomas Edison and Henry Ford Winter Estate in Fort Myers. No general rating for the whole area, but for the houses , the garden , the museum and only a for Edison's research laboratory. Last makes not the best impression.
	Everglades Safari Park		2003	Fear about alligators ? Yes ? Then don't visit this park. You will see alligators swimming around your airboat ans waiting for food. If you aren't lucky, you see only turtles, fishes, birds and water, water and more water.
