Easter treats, next day delivery, well-wrapped items
I just bought some really nice Easter goodies for me and my wife from this place. I went for the next day delivery and was happy when the stuff arrived right on time, all nicely wrapped up. The emails with delivery updates were handy and everything was spot on and in great shape, with good expiry dates for Easter weekend. Yeah, they're not cheap, but me and the missus think they're worth it, on par with treats from fancier shops.

Recent 12-day European whirlwind tour
I just finished up this exhausting 12-day whirlwind tour of Europe and man, let me tell you, I will never do another one like this again. Our tour guide, Caroline, she was something else. She kept talking down to us, being all rude and making us feel small. I had told them about my special diet when I signed up, but I had to keep on asking for dairy and meat free options. The optional stuff they offered? It didn't feel very optional, Caroline pretty much forced us to do them, which made me feel really awkward and trapped. There were a couple things I didn't want to do, I just wanted to go off and explore on my own, but Caroline just shot me down and made me feel like I had no say in the matter.
And then, it gets even worse. Apparently the rules said we should only tip if we were happy with the service. But get this, me and my cousin had already paid for our right home at the end of the trip, yet Caroline still made us fork over more cash before she let us on the bus to the airport. Honestly, the only good thing about this whole experience was the cool folks I met on the trip. But otherwise? I was just patiently waiting for the clock to finally run out on this tour.
