My Awesome List

The total opposite of my Shit List, here are some people and businesses that are so great, they deserve a little recognition.  Hubby and I like to joke that we wish we could take these people/businesses wherever we move.

Bier Garden, Portsmouth, VA-  Some of the best German food I've ever had!

Dr. Bradford Carl, Carmel, CA- The best dentist I've had so far.  This guy came in to his office at 8pm on a Saturday during a golf tournament he was participating in, just to reattached my temporary crown.  And he takes United Concordia, score!

Dr. Fujii, TAMC- The best lady doc.  Delivered both my boys and I'm so lucky.  He's knowledgeable, has great bed-side manners, and really cares about his patients.

Amazon.com- Some of the best customer service I've experienced.

United Airlines- I always have great experiences with them.  They've bumped me up free of charge and most of the time will waive the baggage fee, even though I wasn't traveling on PCS orders.  My flights have always been on time and they've never lost our luggage.

Navy Housing, Honolulu- Getting into a house took less than 24 hours.  Having any maintenance done was quick and on time.  And the moving out process was a breeze (relatively speaking).  The houses were nice and well-kept, and the lawn ninjas were always on time to help out.

IHOP, Salinas, CA- I wrote a letter to corporate after dining there.  The staff was so helpful and nice, even though it was that free Scary Pancake day (which would make anybody working on a day like that cringe).

NH DMV- Some of the easiest and most pleasant DMV experiences.  There was no lackadaisical attitude problem, no run-around, and no long lines.  People knew what to do and how to get it done, therefore it was much less of a headache to me.  Kudos, NH DMV.

JCPenney Portraits- They give military a 50% discount and a free sitting fee, plus a free 8x10.  Yeah, it's not a private photographer, but they do a very good job and it's way more affordable. 

UPS- They can ship just about anything I give them and they do it well.  No broken items or missing boxes.

Salon Grazie, NH- Specifically Amy.  She's the best at making my fuzzy, thick mane into something beautiful and feminine.  In fact, I've given up finding hairdressers where we go.  I just get mine done whenever I'm in NH.
