I am one of three ladies who also went on this trip. We had never been to New Smyrna Beach. It was very nice to have the Mayor and several other shops represented at our the initial drop off point. The Hub ,a working artist gallery had many treats, coffee, juices , and Mimosas for our bus.
. A golf cart was made available for those who wanted to hop on and off. A packet with flyers ands maps of shops and galleries and restaurants Plus discounts were given to all. Yes, if you are not shopping inclined you may had a problem. Everyone was very accommodating and anxious to help or find things. One lady opened her unique home/shop to us . She provided many desserts and several kinds of wine. She also raffled off a basket with several goodies from the area shops. I for one got my monies worth. Everyone involved was friendly and helpful. The event was a gracious and delightful experience for my friends and I . I am disappointed that the gentleman did not find the trip up to his standards ,or expectations. As with all things " It is viewed through the eye of the beholder...Different strokes for different folks..To each his own.......
