Rumor has it that at the Oporto airport ...

Post by Roy Hersh »

The IVDP shop was closed down. My friend emailed me and said that he was flying back on Sunday and the have closed the shop due to a significant decrease in sales because you can't "carry on" bottles anymore. I used to love perusing that great shop. I assume the one in Lisbon is closed too, but have no confirmation on that one yet. Bummer!

Indeed a pity. On the IVDP site the shop at the Oporto airport is no longer listed, but the Lisbon airport shop is still on there. Hopefully it still exists.

Wouldn't it be a good idea if the IVDP decided to open airport solars? That would improve the quality of the waiting time a great deal.

I love that idea. I think I would intentionally arrive at the airport an EXTRA hour or two early ... of course, just to read the list. 8)

Well, it would make the flight back to N. America a LOT more restful and easier to take! ;)

Now we're talking :D

All of you here with IVDP connections need to pass this idea to them. That would sure make the wait and flight much more bearable.

Then again, one could always get a small bottle of cooked Port on the plane :x
