Never go jeans shopping on vacation

Never. Well, unless you've soiled your only pair of jeans on your trip. Shopping for the right pair of jeans is a pretty interesting challenge in itself, but adding on the trouble of figuring out your size in a foreign country while converting the currency rate, in addition to realizing just how many vacation pounds you've packed on during your holiday (while there is a great Benetton sale that you want to try to make the most out of but just can't) is depressing.

Note to self: stick with dresses.
