Today I decided to tag along with my companions on their shopping trips.

First up was a trip down town to Garrett Wade for some tools. Except despite their phone staff stating there was a shop there, we discovered it actually closed 2 -years ago!

Next up we decide to take a trip out to New Jersey to visit a Walmart for some shopping.

After being told the wrong bus to take we end up spending a couple of hours at the Port Authority but get there in the end.

I was mainly tagging along for company but managed to treat myself to some new dresses and some food and drink items which we don't get in the UK.

Dinner is at Applebees before missing the bus home and standing at the stop for 40 minutes waiting for the next one.

We end the day with a trip to Michaels but I am so tired I can't find anything I want- not much luck with transport and shops today!
