Hmmm, so, instead of the $100 hamburger run, she'd do the $200 shoe run
($100 for shoes, $100 for airplane time). Then again, depending on the
price of a) shoes and b) time in the Aztec, we could be talking about a
lot more money Jim. Yep, speedy way to poverty for you.

Now...as an alternative, you could look into fly-in Wal-Mart locations.
Shoes are cheap and you can load up on a lot more things. If you flew
from my home field, you'd be able to fly to Willows, CA where you could
first stop at Nancy's airport cafe. Great airport greasy spoon spot
(sorry Jay, I don't think they know what fruit is at Nancy's). After
eating, walk across the street to Wal-Mart and shop. Don't ask me how I
know this... :-)
