    We leave from the UK and arrive afternoon 20th Feb for a week. I got thinking today about how many lovely treats that are unique to different countries there are and wondered whether anyone else coming during the same week would like to exchange items from our own countries.

    For example I would happily trade some Cadbury's chocolate or Walkers Crisps for Twizzlers or Hersheys.....

    Good Idea?

    I'll try to hook you up with some Twizzlers- Kim won't let me eat them, she hates the smell :)

    I could go for days with the naughty treats I love from the states. Jolly Ranchers, Aunt Jemimas pancake mix, Dentyne fire chewing gum.....


    Although I have been known to leave here with a case filled with Crisps, chocolate, crumpets, English tea and bizarrely Heinz baked beans (beans were for Steve and caused the most confusion with the Mexican bag scanners)

    What would you like bringing for you?

    Try to get a Canadian to bring you some ketchup potato chips. I won't be there then but they are a guilty pleasure.

    You bring whatever, I'm good. I'll try to hook you up with the ranchers, twizzlers, and Hershey :)

    Where do I send my shopping list :) I'm wasting away here.

    I can swap you for a couple of churros and a bag of chicken feet.

    Seriously though. Lots of American goodies available here. Let's fix it up.

    Ok so I'm gonna bite.... Whats a beaver tail? Is that some kind of euphemism?

    Steve, Give me your list and i'll do as much as I can. Only restriction is Thomas Cook giving crappy baggage allowances again so you can get a whole load more crisps than tins of beans for your weight x x
