Shopping in Cartagena

USTOA Live Like a Local
The streets of Cartagena are filled with crafts and local treasures, it’s easy to get your shopping on. Don’t miss Las Bovedas–a former prison that is now converted into shops with local crafts, souvenirs coffees and more.

Mall of America: My Staycation inside

I spent 3 full days inside the massive Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota and what I found was, I could have stayed longer. From the seemingly endless shops, restaurants, aquarium, amusement park, and theatres to the excellent Radisson Blu hotel that I called home (and can’t forget my favorite, the Solimar Spa) this Mall of America “staycation” was quite the luxurious experience.

*Note: I say there’s no sales tax at the Mall of America, I mean no sales tax on clothes and shoes only (the most important things!).
