You just reminded me about DUTY FREE. I bought a few gifts for the ladies, on my wife's side of family as I was flying over there. I had no idea employees got a discount on the goods there. It was like 20 percent off. From what I spent there, it saved me something substantial. Also, Johnny Rockets is pretty cool. I like the music in there, and the one right on the bottom of the hotel I stayed in QC at Eastwood Village was great for a root beer float and a chicken sandwich. Pricey but really good. Ecuador is on my list to go.
