Today started with the mammoth task of packing. Since I arrived with only 8kg including my suitcase, and proceeded to shop my way around NYC on behalf of myself and quite a few Perthites, it looked like it might not quite happen. It’s okay though, I did buy a second bag.
With a couple of re-jigs, I managed to save enough space that I was able to revisit Fluevog Shoes to pick up a pair at the last minute for Miz D. Success!
After heading uptown to also revisit Dylan’s Candy Store, this time with K in tow, we popped into Bloomingdales (nowhere near as impressive as Macy’s – my new favourite store) and grabbed a hot chocolate and a cake from the Magnolia Bakery to munch on in Central Park.
Central Park was full of the usual suspects: dog walkers, families, nannies, and of course Big Bird. On that note, we decided it was time to head home.
Time to part ways. K was heading off to Washington then to South Carolina before hitting South America, and time for me to head home in time to start work again next week. Sigh.
I have to say, JFK airport really doesn’t live up to the rest of NYC I the shopping department – there’s barely any shops and hardly any duty free! Good thing I’m transiting through Dubai: shopping central.
See you next time!
