TSHIRTS BRING BACK MEMORIES

Travellers are famous for buying the proverbial T-shirt from the exotic destination visiting so everyone back home will know you had a vacation. While wearing my sweatshirt from Acapulco Mexico yesterday it was a reminder of the trip. It has the logo- POCO LOCO CLUB! We were supposed to go to Venezuela in 1989 but due to an uprising the Canadian Government advised travellers not to go there so our travel company offered other packages and we ended up in Acapulco. A destination that many people from the GTA liked! It was alright but not a lot to see except some divers at a local cliff and places where some Elvis Presley movies had been made. I actually became sick with Montezuma revenge that spoiled the vacation. The sweatshirt was the saving grace! It made me think about the reason to buy vacation shirts. T-shirts and sweatshirts are good souvenirs for family members especially grandchildren since  the big people do not like them anymore and a personal souvenir for oneself. On our trips to Rome, years ago there was a great T-shirt vendor near the Colosseum where the t-shirts had the best price in the country. Bought one for everyone on my gift list! Our ventures into Montreal, Ottawa and the Niagara area included purchases of T-shirts for the little ones. The best thing- it is clothing. Wear it out, around the house or to bed with your jammy bottoms! Oh the souvenir T-shirt!!
