Memphis Last Day

Our last day of vacation and travel day. Why does it seem so long for vacations to get here, yet they go by so very quickly? We start off today by driving to a small town called Collierville that is about ½ hour outside Memphis. It is a small town that really looks like the town square has never been changed over the years, still all the original brick buildings. It was nice to see after all the cities we have been in, the problem is this town has taken the day off for a holiday, so only 2 or 3 things were open, and none of them served food. We walked around the town square, went into anything that looked open. One of the stores was a jeans and boot store, wow I have never seen so many cowboy boots!! I am really glad that we went in, it was something to see. They also do custom cowboy boots, no we didn't buy any. Next off we just drove until we found a diner to eat in. The food was really good, the place was a little questionable clean wise. Had I used the bathroom before we ate I'm not so sure that we would have stayed, but we haven't been sick yet so all is fine I guess.

After breakfast we still had a couple of hours before we needed to get to the airport so we just went into a few stores on the way back to the airport, this is a pretty big shopping area called Germantown, and is really like a suburb of Memphis. We went into a Kohl, and thought of our trip to Texas last year again, Bestbuy, Golfsmith, Target and another store we had never heard of before. Anyway it passed the time quickly, and we managed to leave a few more dollars in Memphis.

Off to the airport, return the car, check in and then find out there is no duty free at this airport. Oops, no liquor coming home this trip, don't you hate that when it happens. One last BBQ ribs and a pull pork sandwich, mmmm, before catching our plane..

Right now we are in the Toronto airport waiting for our connecting flight which I can see has just arrived so hopefully we will get out on time. Due to arrive home at 12:30 tonight, Andre is off tomorrow, and I am working from home. Now it is time to count down to our trip to Mexico, I am 100% sure that we will be bringing home liquor from there!! Until Mexico.....
