I try buying a keychain from every state that I visit. So far, New Jersey is the only state where I didn't get a chance to buy one.

We buy a refrigerator magnet from each place we visit- cheap, and usually no problem to find one. There are probably a dozen countries represented on our refrigerator right now.
As for other stuff, it depends how strong the dollar is and what the local specialties are. In Scotland, we load up on whisky (including a few bottles to give away) and I'll buy a nice piece of jewelry if the prices are decent and we like hand-crafted things. But if all we come home with is a refrigerator magnet and a lot of memories because everything else is overpriced, we're happy.

Nick Rivers: Listen to me Hillary. I'm not the first guy who fell in love with a woman that he met at a restaurant who turned out to be the daughter of a kidnapped scientist only to lose her to her childhood lover who she last saw on a deserted island who then turned out fifteen years later to be the leader of the French underground.
Hillary Flammond: I know. It all sounds like some bad movie. [Long pause. Both look at camera]
