Now you're asking...
I'm having nothing to do with this holiday in any sort of organisation capacity. I'm just turning up at the airport and trusting it's sorted, it's great!
I think we're staying the same place we did 8 years ago or so. Buena vista I think, like the film distribution company (the only reason I recall it). Touristy yes, but then my folks don't seem to mind, and they are nice apartments. Plus we'll be tourists, so it's probably just as well??
I'm planning on getting my hands on the rental car early on and taking off with my brother for a few days somewhere, anywhere...

So, any recommendations are welcome as I'll be mobile. Just figured I'd take advantage of the exchanges rates while I can. I'll certainly look out for those two stores.
