After all the budgeting that happens when we plan for a vacation, we barely think of the possibilities and plethora of options to shop we'd encounter during the actual trip. We obviously go on an overdrive before the trip to ensure that the bag is packed with not just what is required for the trip but also for those few months we'd have to spend on a Godforsaken island should the flight get lost and land in one. So, when we actually arrive at the destination, in this case Italy, we have that odd wish to lose what we're carrying, and to suddenly undo the prior shopping overdrive back home.
<sigh>.......only if I had all the money.......<sigh>
