Make America Great Again hat. - Sep 2019


Impatience with bureaucratic processes and expectations for customer service. - Jun 2019


Desire to eat at a restaurant before 8:30pm. Also, the expectation that Spanish cuisine is exceptional. The worst disappointment for me was the food. It's not bad, but most of it is bland. - Apr 2012


Big car, American appliances and king size bed. - Nov 2011


...romanticized notions of Spain. Say good-bye to good customer service, you hardly will see smiles or hear "please" and "thank you". Also leave behind your desire to have dinner early.

Uptight attitude. - Aug 2010


Desire to go out for dinner between 5 and 8 pm, large SUV, expectations for any real customer service. - Feb 2009
