This review is from: Lay Me Down (MP3 Music)
"Lay Me Down" by Avicii is an amusing electronic and dance music song that features the superb vocals of Adam Lambert. Currently, the song is also available to listen online through youtube.

The Affluent Traveler (Winter/Spring 2013 (115 Reasons To Indulge))

5.0 out of 5 stars Triumphant In Life TravelerSeptember 28, 2013
Yes, I did previously imply that my husband and I are determined to retire in the United States during a previous review and still intend to do so. However, one of the life goals (between my husband and I) involves eventually traveling for one month each year or every other year at a minimum. "The Affluent Traveler" magazine helps to safely indulge in this dream while simultaneously formulating plans. Among the following informative and exciting articles in the Winter/Spring 2013 issue of The Affluent Traveler magazine:
Coverage of certain hotels such as The Fairmont Chateau Whistler in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada (page 44), The Kahala Hotel & Resort in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA (pages 68-69), The American Club Resort in Kohler, Wisconsin USA (page 73), The Jefferson in Washington , D.C., USA (page 97), and ME London in London England (page 159).
Features of various restaurants around the world such as The First Luxury Art Hotel Roma in Rome, Italy (page 138), Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne Switzerland (page 139), Hotel Lancaster in Paris, France (page 140), The Jefferson restaurant in Washington D.C. (page 146), and the Dolder Grand restaurant in Zurich, Switzerland (page 147).
Article coverage on New Zealand as one of the places for culinary and wine quality (page 151) is also included in The Affluent Traveler.

At this Crystal City metro, Virginia location of Subway, I chose to eat the 6 inch philly cheesesteak meal deal. My food was served quickly and at a reasonable price.  I had some ranch Dorito chips with a drink that was a hybrid of honey iced tea and sprite. Additionally, the workers were courteous and ensured that I had all of the sandwich toppings that I asked for.   However, the actual address for the Crystal City metro subway is:

I convinced my husband to try the Silver Spring, Maryland Flippin Pizza due to the taste and low cost. We chose the 6 dollars for two pizza slices and drink meal deal. The cashier was friendly, made us feel appreciated as customers, and served our order within a reasonable time period.  Due to eating from there this past Tuesday, I am only able to remember some of the toppings.  However, I do recall that some of the toppings were mozzarella, pepperoni, meatballs, and garlic. My spouse's pizza slices were slightly similar to mine (minus the meatballs). My husband had a Dr. Pepper for his drink while I chose a hybrid of Dr. Pepper, lemonade, and Sprite.

Less than a couple of hours ago, my mother in law graciously offered to buy groceries for my husband and I. Naturally, we both took her up on her offer and went for a late night grocery store run (we now have groceries to easily last us at least three weeks).  We were able to easily find some spices, vegetable items (peas, carrots, mushrooms, spinach) and meats (tilapia, chicken, salmon, and ground beef).The cashier showed concern in ringing up our orders in a conscientious manner and showed reasonable concern for a question I had related to one of the store's discount programs.

My husband, my mother in law, and I just ate at this restaurant a few hours ago. We got the gyoza as an appetizer and my husband ordered the beef noodle soup while my mother in law got the duck noodle soup dish. I ordered the Orange chicken meal and all of us felt that the the food was delicious. Additionally, both the hostess and the server were courteous and had our food ready within a reasonable timeframe. Both my husband and I are glad that his mother enjoyed the meal and service. I confess that this is especially because she was the one who generously paid for our meal tonight at the College Park Ivy Noodles.

Speaking from personal experience of past multiple trips,this College Park, Maryland Subway restaurant is consistent with both the good quality of their food and strong customer service. My spouse and I last ate here less than 12 hours ago and were met with cheerful service. My husband chose to have the Spicy Italian value meal with  a Dr. Pepper drink. I chose the limited time offering of the Prime Rib melt value meal with a drink that was a hybrid of cherry coke and lemonade. Their range of toppings and condiments are tasty complements to the sandwiches. For instance, some of the toppings that were on my sandwich were red pepper blend, black olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, olive oil, pickles,and green peppers. This subway location is a great place to eat at for both the deliciousness of the food, polite customer service, and reasonable prices.

I do not always agree with some of the views espoused on these websites, however many of these websites and blogs contain helpful information. The following are some of the various informative and/or inspirational websites I found online (I will try to eventually share more in the future as my time allows it):
