21st September - Arrival and Factory outlet shopping


We got our return florida tickets for US$230. The plane by Delta Airways was funky and colorful. Seats were in shades of turquoise, orange, and purple. Live TV from 24 different channels and music from a varity of CDs were showcased.

Finally arrived at our hotel and we booked our Disney tickets. The lady at the counter offered us $US100 discount on our tickets if we attended a 90 minute real estate seminar. Well, $US100 discount and free breakfast before entering magic kingdom sounded lucrative. We picked up the offer with glee.

We rented a car and headed to the Belz Factory outlets. Pearlene was the driver (she is over 25 so insurance was cheaper) while I navigated. It was nerve wreaking at the beginning as roads in US works in the opposite way as compared to Singapore. Shopping was intense as we bought plentiful shoes, bags, jeans, pants, tops from DKNY, Calvin Klein, Polo Ralph, and Armani. Pretty good deals. Anyway, I hereby declare Pearlene as the ultimate shopping queen! She bought bags after bag and showed no sign of fatigue when her fave activity is concerned. Exhaustion overwhelmed me after a while and I slept in the car while our dear shopping queen continued her spree.

We went to Black Angus for ribs, steak and salad. Black Angus in the US is totally different from the one in Singapore. The one here is family oriented and even has karaoke after certain hours. Listening to some of the folks croon was pretty interesting. They dig into Elvis and country songs. Felt like I was in a restaurant with settings in the 70s or 80s.
