Off to the big city

My Ipod is charged.

My cellphone is charged.

My kindle is charged.

My very large, very empty backpack is by the door.

I’m ready for a very ridiculously early train departure in the morning. The ladies on the team (including the youngest lady, Maddy, but excluding the second youngest, Sam) are all headed to the great big city of promise–Shenyang–where we plan to shop ’til we drop and eat ’til we burst.

Buoyed by my success in finding a pair of jeans, I’m heading out with a somewhat substantial shopping list in the hopes of outfitting myself for another big trip that’s coming up in a couple weeks. I’m hoping for Pretty Woman-esque success; that is, Pretty Woman day 2 on Rodeo drive, not day 1.

Most definitely on the agenda though? Some of this wonderful goodness.

See you on the flip side; likely with a story or two!
