Something like 15 rolls in two weeks. There's lots of the regular
tourist stuff as well.
The lab I used worked out at approx $20 per roll (4x6 prints, plus the
scans), though I got a bulk discount. Costco was about half that. I was
not happy with Walmart scans the last time I used them. However, they
did scan half-frame without a murmur.

Well, apparently film still works. :-)
You've got some very nice shots there even if you're not happy with the
scans. I recognize some of the coastal scenes but most of what's there
I've not seen.
I Walmart is out of the film processing business I'm not sure where I
could have it done around here. Maybe no where. I almost went out with
an OM and some film yesterday. I'll have to check on where I can get it
processed if I do.
