How wrong you are. Tsk tsk. Free interview trip to portland: pacific coast and mtns by columbia river, ran into mountain lions. free interview trip to phoenix: mountain roads. Vegas: death valley and grand canyon. Knoxville: great smoky mtns (scam scam scam, three days and one bear. would ask for refund but there was no park fee...). Planned: Hawaii: two words: jeep and kauai
For all of these, my first stop out of the airport was to walmart to get supplies.
Again the return thing was a bonus. I was replying to someone who needed an umbrella to tell them they could just buy one at walmart or any similar store.
