Thank you very much for your answers.
I love travelling to USA, not only for it's attractions but for the
good shopping you can do there. USA is the place to be when all you
want to do it shop.
Anyone from Ft. Lauderdale? How about shopping in Ft. Lauderdale,
rather than in Miami or Orlando?
Do you find Orlando a good place to do shopping (clothes, electronics)
in comparison with other states?
Thanks a lot!
