Might seem like an odd question, but were those spiders and scorpions live? When I was a kid we did a trip to REP and PNH and we stopped at some rural market. There were FIRE BUCKETS of those glossy black spiders squirming around (probably waiting to be eaten or something). Went back to school, told my friends, nobody believed me. From now on, as a point of pride, I'm going to show everyone your photo. Thanks, I guess! lol

On a more serious note, this is a great trip report so far. Very eye-opening what happened with Optiontown, a service I considered using when I stumbled upon it from this thread https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/othe...-upgrades.html If I end up tempted to use it in the future, I'll be sure to be way more careful!
