That makes me feel better...I don't wear flip flops and my birkenstocks are kind of like flip flops...I will wear them on the plane...so, that can get me two pairs of birkis...then three pairs of regular shoes, so we are up to five. I don't carry lenses and camera equipment...just one little video camera and one computer. I prefer diamonds too...is this area known for any special gems? I just figure I'll bring back some alabaster. I was good and didn't buy any rubies in Bangkok.
