Another day in (shopping) paradise!

Saturday morning we were all set to go after a quick continental breakfast. We headed towards the Grand Central thinking that was the place to go to catch the bus. The GC was unbelievably beautiful, but just the train station, so we decided to go back to the hotel to ask them if they knew where we would find the buses.

Ten minutes later we were heading for Port Authority, a few blocks down from Times Square. The bus left at 11:30, so we had plenty of time to kill before we were ready to go. Little did we know that the lines were extremely long more than 45 minutes before the buses left, but we got some papers, magazines and Pepsi and then went up to gate 310. Already we were far from the entrance, but I figured they had more than one bus – and luckily they did!

The ride there was absolutely memorable as the driver seemed to not know how to drive. The bumpy roads and the heat were quite interesting, too, but at least I was on my way to shopping heaven! My husband didn´t care much, I think.

Woodbury Common with its 220 shops was way too much to cover in one day! Even running and not eating much I did not cover more than less than hundred stores. Among them were Calvin Klein, Polo, Guess, Juicy Couture, Tommy Hilfiger and Converse. I am definitely going back another time. The thing is, I guess, to catch the 8:30 bus from NY, because in the afternoon, on a Saturday, the place was really full!


If possible, the ride back was even worse! That driver sure did not know how to use more than the breaks and there was no air condition in the bus! With 8 huge bags and tired legs, we decided to try TGIF for dinner – at TS. The restaurant had 5 floors, all crowded with people, but we only had to wait 10 minutes for a delicious American burger and the largest Pepsi they had (my request)!

After a day in shopping heaven we walked back to the hotel, turned on the TV and the computer and wedged out on the bed until we fell asleep.
