Christmas Shopping Away From Home

[Guitar_Raph]

Have you ever taken a small vacation just to do some Christmas shopping?

I recently went to Longview, TX which is 125 miles east of Dallas along I-20/U.S. 80. Just to go to K-Mart.

None of the big Texas cities has a K-Mart, only Harlingen, Laredo, El Paso, Lubbock, Kileen, Abilene & Lufkin.

What is that, like over 2 hours drive each way? o.O Hope you were able to find what you were looking for if you had to go that far to get to a K Mart.

Can't really say I have. Have shopped in other places when I had the opportunity, but wasn't my main reason for going there. At that distance, I'm just gonna look online and might check eBay for the same stuff but with free shipping.

They must've had some good gifts if you're gonna drive 125 miles.

Actually, I let Greyhound & Amtrak do the driving. Around $50.

I grew up with K-Mart when I was a kid & teen. But to see it gone in Houston & Dallas was devistating. So I made Longview my adoptive place to shop.
