Destination Flea Market?

I love to travel.  Road trips, long trips, even short trips to a town a few miles down.  It's all good.  And I've got some miles under my belt to prove it: I've traveled across four continents (including our own), hit some 18 countries (if you don't count international lay-overs), and I'm still looking for more!  My Bucket List is really just a list of places I want to see before I kick that bucket.

My mother-in-law is kind enough to fuel my wanderlust with her old copies of Budget Travel.  And I found one that seems like an excellent excuse to sock away money: a Global Flea Finder.  Yes!  It's a list of excellent flea markets around the world.  Athens?  Yes, they have one!  Tokyo?  You bet!  You know how you're always looking for just the right souvenir from a trip?  Find one on the cheap at a local flea market where you can haggle for a genuine antique right there with the locals!  Awesome.

And, in fact, there are a few places on this list from good ol' Budget that I would love to hit up.  Can I convince my husband to start saving for a trip to Cairo so we can find a one-of-a-kind flea market find for our living room?

(My mother-in-law, by the way, will be in Athens in October.  Perhaps I should pass this info on to her so she can do some shopping...)
