Home Shopping takes on a different meaning in these parts. Here in the South Pacific it means local boats sidle up to you to sell their wares. Unfortunately, this had not yet happened to us. We finally had our first experience with this concept while in Tonga. A mom, dad and older son had woven baskets and woven hot plates, jewelry, and wall hangings for sale. We were about to buy a basket when the lady told us we could give them something to bring the cost down. I was excited because I have been hauling around some trade items that I haven’t been able to use for trade. We offered some fishing line and a wallet. The son seemed very excited about the wallet but it appeared that the dad was also eyeing it. As it turned out, I had another wallet, offered it to the son, and everyone was happy-well I should say.

Your floating shopping experience sounds like a fun encounter. Who would have guessed that a wallet would be in demand. As my mother would say, never throw anything out, because it will eventually find a new home.

I must admit I am more a throw out person so it’s hard for me to keep items I don’t need or want anymore. Rob, however, is the opposite. Makes for good discussions when something goes missing.
