Welcome from a non-Brit to the BE forums. Love your beaches in Delaware. Some of the finest I've seen yet on the eastern seaboard. And your shopping mall on the border of NJ/DE is a woman's dream come true

I'm heading back to Scotland next week for the first time in 2 years. Looking forward to it - but not to the long flights with a 2 year old and a 10 month old.

I paid $3.07 last night in Wilmington, DE but only $2.79 in Orlando, FLA the previous day. Why is that? DE is supposed to be tax free.
