glasses
I had two pair made in CAN. I looked for the card I had from the lady, but I must have passed it on already. There is a whole block or two that does glasses. Take your prescription with you, I went early,(0900) & my glasses were ready at 1500. I think the cost was about $45 US & I am happy with my glasses...

Thx.
Maybe you could find a pacemaker, some tires for your wife's car, or a parachute too?
Sorry, couldn't resist. All the action on the trip trading front has made me giddy.

So true....are we so cheap as a group that we buy this stuff. Really? Probably rail on about how China is a currency manipulator too!
Sorry too bored waiting for crew notifications!

like the 580 in PVG, but not as intrusive.. The Capt I was with had the gouge on the place... so I didn't pay attention to where it was, etc. I'm sure the hotel guys can hook you up...
