I wanted to buy some souvenirs of my trip to Amelia Island. I usually have two go to souvenirs I normally buy:
1) a silver spoon. My mother collects these things and she loves them.
2) ornaments with the location I visited. I have been planning a whole new Christmas tree to decorate in the coming year. I wanted to make a Christmas tree with places I have been to or my family has been to.
I had found out that the resort my conference was at, the Omni Amelia Island Resort had two gift shops. I traveled to this one first, located in the Sunrise wing of their main building. I was able to find ornaments, but sadly no spoon. I asked the store employee, and she told me to go to the other store. She said it was the main store and did have those types of spoons. She also told me she would call them to inform them I was on my way and that they would have one ready for me to sell when I got there.
So yeah, that didn't happen. It's quite a distance to the other shop and I took one of the buses the resort has to get from place to place... the other employee never got called and also said there were no spoons. So essentially I wasted my time and a trip. read more
