Shopaholic in New York (Virtually, Anyway)

I’m big on getting people presents because I think there’s something sad about someone not getting any present on Christmas Day. This year, I did a ton of saving and got the hub a Compaq Presario CQ40-109TU notebook. I didn’t buy myself anything because I’m on ’save up so you can splurge soon’ mode. If I had all the money in the world, though, I know where I’ll go shop - New York! I’ll go uptown or downtown on board a New York Bus Charter. Getting a cab is out of the question because cab rides in NYC will make a huge dent on my shopping money. So, I’ll go get me an NY bus charter and grin at the poetic justice of it all.  A big bus for a big spender - what could be more apt?
Now, on with the virtual tour. I know anyone worth her Manolos will drop by chic little boutiques as much as established stores. I’ll do Bloomingdale’s first then Barney’s for their Miu Miu dresses and Habitual jeans. Then I’ll go snag me some good bargains over at H&M, Zara, and Century 21. Afterwards, it’s off to Bergdorf Goodman’s so I can buy a shoe and score a suit. Naturally, all these bustling and buying will make me one very hungry woman. I’ll pop down Grand Central Station for the famed NY cheesecake. When I’m done, I’ll go to geek-tech haven a.k.a the Apple Store SoHo so I could test-drive all the gadgets on sight. Last stop would be the American Girl Place for a peek at life-sized, 18-inch dolls in historical costumes, the theater where you can see the dolls’ stories told, and the cafe and the bookstore that will complete my tour of the Old West and everything that is offbeat and quirky in the U.S.  Think you my bus driver will humor me and not toss me off the bus? I’m sure of it. NY bus charter bus guys have been taking people like me around New York all their life. I’m sure there’s nothing I can do that will stun them - except perhaps sit on their lap and take over the wheel.
