I used to love P'burg and making a foray into town every time we were in SXM. Over the years I have bought more earrings than I can ever wear - more rings than I have fingers and more chains than I can ever wear. My husband is a watch fan and has too many of those, as well. I never minded the shop owners trying to bring people into their stores - what always drove me crazy were the timeshare people. I understand that they were trying to make a living, but many times they just didn't give up!! In the early days we did go on some timeshare presentations that were supposed to be an hour long and ended up being 3+ hours!! We got some of the freebies back in the day and they were pretty good!! We did end up buying 2 timeshares, by the way... They are fewer now than in their heyday, which is probably a good thing.
