i HATE that place.
i went in there to get a soda and some crackers
paul was having a lucky streak on a penny machine at the casino nearby so i wandered.
the clerk in that store followed me around like i was a criminal and asked me to leave my purse at the register.

i decline.......ya right i am going to hand my bag over to a stranger.

i hate that store

Are you serious?

Like if tourists would make a 5,000 miles trip that cost more then $2k to steal a bottle of milk...

Capt Cooks sounds like an adventure. Something tells me I could have a good time with the clerks. They will need a vacation when Im done

Bill, the place is small. Let us know how you make out. Huge ripoff price wise.

I brought down a 750 ml bottle of Absolute in my checked luggage 2 weeks ago. I wrapped it in bubble wrap and put it in with some clothes -- no problem It arrived safe and sound. I also brought down some tequilla which I poured into a plastic Gatoraide bottle and in bubble wrap in a different checked luggage. Again no problem. The bottles at the resorts are very expensive.
