| - Since were staying at the Cali in downtown, and had driven by the mall on the way, I wanted to check it out before checking out of town. They have a wide array of stores and with us getting there around 7:30 and it closing at 9:00 pm on Saturday, I had my plan of attack. Look at directory, see stores I like, rush in and out. It usually works. I wanted to start with Burberry, but the guys didn't, so we walked around and then I ditched them. Went to Banana Republic, Puma, Nike, WhiteIBlack, A/X, Ferragamo and made quick purchases. I think I did pretty well and didn't break the bank too much. What is weird about this outdoor shopping plaza is that it looks like it's not quite open yet. It was dark already, but they didn't have any of the courtesy lamps on in the walkaways. So you'd turn down one way or another and it'd be kind of dark. A little creepy if you're a girl shopping alone. Good thing I always have my pepper spray handy.
Saw the comments from everyone about the heat. Don't go during the day. At night on a Saturday, this place was completely dead. No one in sight, except for a few stragglers here and there. I was overheating a little bit since it was a tad humid, but doesn't everyone sweat a tad when they're trying to cram in a bunch of stores in 90 minutes?
Good stores, good prices and all the salespeople I ran into were really nice. Will go back when I have more time! Never made it into Burberry. Probably a good thing, though, since I would've dropped a few more Benjis.
