Everybody loves the beach! And nothing beats a vacation right on the ocean. Samantha Brown heads to one of America's most popular and most beloved resorts of all time...the Hotel Del Coronado! Situated along 31 oceanfront acres on Coronado Island, just across the bay from San Diego, California, the Hotel Del Coronado has been welcoming guests to its oceanside setting for over 100 years. While she's a guest, Samantha makes sure to take a peek into the hotel's Beach House, where Marilyn Monroe stayed during the filming of "Some Like It Hot." And keeping in the outdoor spirit, Samantha sets sail around the bay to enjoy a sunset champagne toast. During her visit Samantha discovers all the reasons why this California landmark remains one of America's most treasured resorts. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

5 Takes Episode 8: Berlin, Germany

Editorial Review:
A pioneering interactive television series with the "real time" immediacy of super-fast turnaround, this show chronicles the journey of five young, aspiring filmmakers (TJ's - Travel Journalists) as they are given their own cameras and are sent on a summer in Europe. For them, this is the chance of a lifetime. Their mission is to show us their experiences in Europe - our mission is to follow them on this journey of adventure, uncertainty, and excitement. With only limited resources ($2,000 each and a Eurail pass), the five TJ's will visit six European cities in the course of their six weeks. Perhaps they will have to take a job, or sleep in a hostel, or eat on the cheap, etc., just as typical college-age kids in Europe would have to do on their own. It is the usual coming-of-age trip to Europe with a backpack and a rail pass, but in the new digital age they also take a video camera. EPISODE 8 - Berlin, Germany - Last stop: Berlin. The diversity of this formerly divided city is also reflected in the TJ's' itinerary. From the Sachsenhausen concentration camp to the Berlin nightlife, and from Checkpoint Charlie to the East Side Gallery, Ronnie, Brad, Faythallegra, Derek, and Alexis explore the various highlights this city has to offer. They look back on their journey and bring back memories of their favorite moments and places along the way during a final toast. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

It'd be nice if he'd tell us something about the country, 2 out of 5 stars.

First, let me apologize for the low marks if, in fact, this was supposed to be all about the food in Malaysia. It was not advertised as such. Now, don't get me wrong, after 5 weeks in Malaysia I've become crazy about Malaysian cuisine. I was making Laksa Lemak while I was watching it. But I wasn't really interested in a tour of the kitchens and restaurants of Malaysia. I wanted to see and hear about the country. On occasion he does stop at an attraction like the Batu caves, but he doesn't stay long, doesn't say much that's useful, and all too soon is back in a restaurant.
That may be a good thing, as his information wasn't always especially accurate. He seemed to think that the natives of Borneo were the original Malays. Yes, part of Borneo is Malaysia and there are Malays living there, but the Iban people of Borneo are not at all related to the Malay.
Finally, while I'm not a prude, I did find his incessant bleeped-out obscenities a bit tiresome and self-indulgent. In fact, that pretty much describes the whole DVD.

Samantha sets out to discover a hotel where she can check in as a 21st century traveler and awaken in 1775. It's The Williamsburg Inn in Williamsburg, Virginia. This famous Inn serves up plenty of Southern hospitality and is just a few steps away from the Duke of Gloucester Street - named the "most historic avenue in America" by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Where else can you bump into Thomas Jefferson or Martha Washington, see a newspaper being printed on an 18th-century press, watch a blacksmith at work, sample local fare and a lager of ale at a colonial pub, or march alongside the Fife & Drum Brigade? Colonial Williamsburg is the largest living museum in the world, and a night's stay at The Williamsburg Inn has Samantha reliving a little history.
