In the mid 1990s, while in Britain again on business, I visited friends from the village where I used to live. We took a drive to the American memorial cemetery in Cambridge. For lunch they decided to go to Burger King. Quite frankly, I would have preferred sausage and mash at a good local. --Roy Cochrun |

There is a Wal-Mart near the dock in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Several
crew members have told us that it is more expensive than the Wal-Marts in the US. It's a short walk from the docks (across an 8 lane street). Most prices were higher and some were the same. A few things are cheaper, like touristy t-shirts and tobbaco products (no US taxes). The problem is that if you pay in cash (US), you get change in pesos... |

My reason for going to Wal-Mart is to buy Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi and
perhaps some bottled water. Arlene Scott W wrote: We get a lot of cruise ships visiting here (Kailua Kona) and every time there is a ship in Wal-Mart sends a shuttle buss to shuttle people to and from the ship to Wal-Mart. A lot of people take this shuttle and go to Wal-Mart, what I would love to know is why, if you are on a cruise to someplace like Hawaii, would you want to go to Wal-Mart? I have nothing against Wal-Mart mind you but our town is very nice and there are any number of interesting places to see right from the pier where the tender boats come in. There is even a nice little beach right there were you can snorkel or just swim. We see passengers from the ships at Wal-Mart all the time and I keep wanting to ask why they are there but it seems kind of rude to do so. Scott |
