    That would be my wife. No vacation is complete until she is able to visit at least one outlet mall.

    I bet she's wearing heels too! Most unsuitable for that kind of country.

    This is a real gem. Me, I'd love it there.

    Last time I popped in here someone commented on your new look blog but the curtains didn't show up for me. They're there now and I agree, the new look is really cheery.

    I got a big smile from this one. A friend recently got married and had a camping honeymoon. I just know that was her husband's idea, since she is definitely a hotel kind of girl. Ah, the things we do for love. :D

    Just catching up! I would say it was an obsure place if there were no place to shop for anything, roadside gift shops, anything. I love to shop.
