will be a working tour with some fun thrown in between friends,
We really are going on a purchasing and buying trip to working
warehouses that you would otherwise never have a chance to see.

buying large quantities (for items which will not fit in your
suitcase), we can also help you thru the steps to arrange for
shipping and figuring out the customs fees back to the USA.

comfortable walking shoes!
