Just came back from a trip to Orlando.. I scheduled a short vacation with a friend that had a meeting there.. Before I left, I got a map, and circled all the shops in the area, and put over 700 miles on the rental in four days.. The people in the shops were awesome.. I didn't find any hard sell of the kits, and managed to find things to buy in the stores.. I like the idea of keeping the stores in business.. Would I do it again.. You bet.. I still have to visit the shops in our area.. Im not in love with most of the patterns..
