Underwater Dinner
"Dinner for two at Ithaa, the world's first underwater restaurant."
|
|
|
Ithaa is the only all glass undersea restaurant in the world. Set five metres underwater on a coral reef, Ithaa's innovative glass aquarium design gives diners 360-degree views of the surrounding reef life, while offering an exciting and novel fusion Maldivian-western menu. Ithaa, which means ''pearl'' in the local language, promises a unique dining experience, with humans inside the aquarium and the fish looking in.
Text message tricks
|
|
|
Wondering if a flight's going to be on time? Send a text message to 4INFO to get the answer. I tried this while sitting in
the plane just seconds after the flight attendant announced we'd be delayed 8 minutes...and 4INFO already knew about it!
Just send a text message to 4INFO (44636)--in the message, put the airline code then the flight number (e.g. AS 2507 for Alaska flight #2507).
More details on what 4INFO can tell you here.
Other cool info is available via text message from Google's SMS Service. You can get driving directions,
weather forecast, look up definitions, even translate words into other languages. For example, to get the
4-day forecast for Maui, send a text message to GOOGL (46645) with W 96761 (96761 is the zip code for Lahaina, Maui).

New Shopping Cart
|
Typically, people buy 1 gift for someone for their wedding. However, we've been seeing quite a number
of our customers buying more than one gift--often they'll buy one major gift, then another little gift
(something like "drinks at the beach bar") just as a fun little add-on.
Today, we're pleased to roll out our brand-new shopping cart, which will make buying multiple gifts much easier!
Thanks to our customers for the suggestion...keep those ideas coming!

Thanks also to Jared from our engineering department, who
designed and implemented our shopping cart. While he was at it, he also redesigned the printable version
of our registry list--take a look at yours...I think you'll like it!
