I have been very bad here in Europe. I brought over all sorts of old things and plan to leave them behind. In my travels around Europe, I have brought back all sorts of things large and small. My company will ship and ensure all these items...including all sorts of bacarrat and pottery and furniture.

As a side note about the Malta glass. My purchases came to $66 euros; shipping was 75 euros and tax was $22 euros. Almost doesn't seem worth it. As a plus over my cruise compatriates, at least I received it within a few weeks.
