You’ll never believe where I am writing from, 34 000 feet above the united states of America on my way to cross over Finland and then traveling south to England. Unfortunately they have no internet wireless up here which I do not understand cause we’re closer to the satellites up here. Oh well, I will save, exit and send on arrival.
On the morning of Thursday 16 November I woke from a terrible sleep on an air mattress on Alice’s new Upper East Side apartment. It wouldn’t of been so bad if I hadn’t moved at all or I was a tube and was the same weight all over. Every time I moved my hips especially would sink quickly and SMASH onto the floor which hurt and made me wake. Then I would lie awake waiting for the fridge generator to stop humming for just a little bit. After a quick pack Alice and I headed down to the Grand Central Station to catch our train to White Plains. After an hour and a half Alice and I arrived at the desolate(?) ‘city’ of White Plains. We collected our car from the airport and began our journey. We headed West across New York State and North to Woodbury Commons, a high end fashion retail outlet complex. We arrived early and the place was almost empty. Alice and I have big expectations were slowly let down as we went into each department store and finding only small discounts, used items or just ugly cloths. We tried and tried to make the most of the Chloe, YSL, Gucci, Juicy Couture, Valentino, Missioni, TSL, Jimmy Choo etc stores but it was just useless. Alice and I finally left defeated without purchasing anything at all from the whole entire complex so headed to Walmart which we saw upon entering …
Walmart is amazing, we went to a superstore which included everything and a supermaket! It was equilivant of Kmart, Target, Coles, Woolworths, Farmland with more options and over the largest space. Alice and I tried to stick together but as I would be drawn to something across the way Alice would wander so we were constantly separately then reuniting when we were both drawn to the same thing, cheap nickers!!! We decided to buy some food and Alice thought it was so funny that I had 24 OZ of beef jerkey, carrots, prunes and “fibre plus” muslei bars. Alice then explained the lethal combination of prunes and fibre plus so I swapped them for some other ones. I didn’t realized they made you go to the bathroom a lot, I thought they were just healthy as they advertise fibre plus everywhere. So gross! We left with our bags and headed to Albany. As it started to get dark Alice and I decided we should find a place to rest at the next town. We pulled into a holiday Inn and asked how much a double room would cost, $149!!! We refused and were determined to find somewhere cheaper. Alice told Asheesh, her doctor friend in NYC who said he would help us find a nice safe cheap to stay. He booked us a room at the Holiday Inn in Albany, unfortunately Albany was a 3 hour drive from where we were and my poor map skills, the nighttime, tiredness and frustration kept leading Alice and I in and around, in and around Albany till finally after getting so
