100 miles in the UK must seem like a long way? We don't do it often,
but our real-big-time shopping. We always check in at the Costco's
along the way as some of them will carry different goods depending on
the ethnicity of the area; i.e., when we visit Connecticut, there are
always jars of goodie Italian things; near to the DC area, one sees
more Asian type foods.

And typically in VA, different Costco's will sell some different
wines. Don't know why.
