Photo Hunt - Bags

This week's Photo Hunt theme is bags. I was tempted to post a pic from the end of our recent cruise - all of the bags lined up by deck number, and everyone racing to grab them at the same time. I'll just save that one for the theme of chaos.

Instead I am posting a pic showing the result of 1 hour at an outlet mall. This is from our first trip to Paso Robles to get together with the slow travel gang. We flew into San Francisco, picked up the car, and popped into the Gilroy outlets on the way south.

We are power shoppers; it doesn't take us long to size up a store, grab what we want/need (because it isn't often the same *smile*), and be on our way to the next store. It is because of this well honed skill that we can amass this many bags over the course of a short hour!

Lots of the slow travel  community members also photo hunt when they aren't traveling. You can find their posts by clicking the links below.

Wow! You are good power shoppers!
I am a lousy one, I went to the outlets last week with a list of things I want and need;spent over three hours and got home with one bag-shoes:)

Yes, Jerry! You and Paul are my power shopping role models, for sure.
I remember being very impressed with that pile of bags at SlowBowl.

[Susanne]

LOL. That looks like what our hotel bed looks like when we go to the big city. Great take!

[Palma]

Good job. Now save up for the outlets in Cabazon!

[Lisa]

Wow! I may be fast, but I never buy as much.

:-)

So do you bring an empty suitcase for the results of power shopping? You do this very well. :)

[Marta]

Excellent job. I am so bad at shopping. Too many choices.

[Laura]

Dang. I should hire you to shop for me. I hate shopping, unless it's for food of course. 8)

[Alice Audrey]

That's a lot of bags for a mere hour.

[Maria I.]

I'm impressed! I'm really a slow shopper and in an hour I'll make 1-2 purchases unless it is food.

After reading your blog for the past couple of years, I would definitely say that you are one of the top power shoppers I know. I am guessing the theme was easy for you this week with lots of photos to choose from :)

It sure isn't difficult to do! I too get overwhelmed by all of the choice - when that happens I just run to a bookstore! LOL
