Hi Glenn
I hope I am not too late, I just saw your posting....
I stayed in Tunis last year at the Hotel Africa (very nice)..The Souk is a great shopping experience, don't miss it..Try to get to see Hammamet, Sidi Bou Said, a beautiful city all white with blue trim to match the magnificent Medditeranian sea. The colliseum was mesmerizing, the second largest next to the one in Rome..The people were all warm and friendly. Feel free to PM me with any questions. I hope you enjoy it!
