Am I alone in enjoying shopping at duty free stores in airports? Browsing the aisles for cigars, cigarettes, cosmetics, liquor and sundries? Picking up items that are unavailable at home?
I don't think so.
Now I don't know if the appeal of duty free shopping is avoiding the tax so much as going on a trip and picking up items that can only be gotten in another country, but if there was a Seinfeld episode about it, it's an appeal felt by many.
Lately, due to my hiatus, I've picked up only liquor and sunscreen, but next week I'll be at Heathrow Airport flying internationally and since I've already stocked up on my Havana Club rum and El Tesoro tequila, I'll be checking out Kurt Geiger, Burberry and a few other high end stores. It might be time to end my hiatus and get that black Burberry trench coat that will last forever and will look much better than the short black men's Driza-Bone that was given to me years ago (and which I donated to charity last year).
I know you all can relate.
