had the same discussion with my Mother in Law, hates Walymart for all the above reason, but that doesn't stop here from shopping at other big box chains.

Back on track, arrived yesterday (oh joy oh joy jet lag) when we landed we had about a 15 min wait for our luggage so I took advantage to check out the exit and sure enough they had the "Stuff to declare" line open and were sending anyone with large suitcases in for a friendly discussion.

so I reverted to the number one rule for dealing with authorities in Europe

SPEAK ENGLISH

On the way out I was about to be flagged when I asked "where's the taxis" and the Spanish hate talking English so they let me go big grin

If your in the market for a new computer they are way way cheaper in the US. Best bargains are to be had online particullay if you can use a US CC.
