Thank you for the tips Joan. The maps are a great help...
Joan, although these are "older tips" they still have great value to one who is planning a trip. Thanks, Kat
Somehow I did never like that island very much. Everything is just based on duty-free-shopping, and in some cases things are just duty-free, BUT NOT cheap at all...
I never thought of buying liquor and shipping it home. Now, I will have to go back to save money on drinks. I enjoyed shopping here too.
