Wally World
What an experience! Wal-Mart is two stories tall. To get from one floor to another you go on an escalator that is like a moving sidewalk except slanted. You take your cart on it. Typical of our Wal-Marts, it was very crowded. We got lots of stares. Unlike Hong Kong where almost everything is in English too, there wasn't anything in English. On my list I had lunch meat and cheese. We all thought a nice sandwich would taste really good. Wrong. The meat was hanging from the ceiling. It is hard to describe the smell - just use your imagination - we had to take a mad dash out of there. Peanut butter and jelly didn't sound too bad at that point. We finally found some sliced white bread. I brought some peanut butter from home. No luck on the jelly, even with the help from our guide. I found some little jelly containers at our breakfast buffet this morning. We had left over pizza for lunch so that is probably what we will eat tomorrow. We are going out to eat with the whole group for dinner tonight so I've got my Pepto Bismol all ready. So far so good and no one has gotten sick.

It sounds like you're having a great time. Sami & Jacob will remember this trip forever, not only because of adding Halle to the family but because of the 'fun' adventures. Like the hunt for lunchmeat and jelly. Some of the best trip memories we've had were the unexpected. We took the kids to San Francisco and the concierge sent us to a chinese restaurant near China Town. The owner ordered for us. We had no idea what we were getting for dinner. We're still not sure what it was but it was tasty and the story still brings a laugh.
Enjoy and cherish your 'unexpected' memories.
Love, Teresa
