Working out shifts to the bathroom and other necessities, the girls all appear in the lobby ready to go. Alice as the director of activities is in control and all the girls are following her lead.
I have been told that there are some great places for designer clothes in some shops along Orchard and Grand Streets on the Lower East Side. My thought is that it would be best if we grab a cab now so we can get to everything this afternoon. Alice begins What do you think? as she looks at everyone. Seeing the girls nodding their heads Alice marches outside to hail a cab.

Almost immediately a cab pulls up to the hotel and all the girls pile in.
Alice whats this place like where we are going? Shane asks as the cab pulls out.

My friend Jackie from the magazine comes here once a year to get her clothes. She was telling me the deals are awesome. Some stuff she gets 50% off. I guess its these little shops that sell designer stuff at this huge discount, they are suppose to have everything from clothes and shoes to home stuff. Alice says going into detail. What kind of stuff you looking for?

Well we dont really know, we thought we would just look around and if we see something we will get it. Rachael says.

Well do you guys want to coordinate or just meet back at the hotel later? Alice asks looking at Shane.

Shane and Rachael look at each other and shrug their shoulders Well hang with you for a while .. it should be fun. Shane says looking back at Alice.

Hey guys does it seem like we have been sitting here for a while? Dana asks.
The girls look around and sure enough the cab is in a snarl of traffic. Waiting a few minutes Alice finally says to the cabby Hey how long do you think we will be in this traffic?

The cabby just sits hunkered down in his seat looking straight ahead like he never even heard Alice.
Do you think he didnt hear me? Alice asks to no one in particular. Hey .. HEY.. HEY!!! Alice starts yelling trying to get the cabbys attention.
