It was another early start and another brief drive to Starbucks to pick up our coffees, whilst Madam chills in bed. Vick's contribution was to open the door to our room when I came back with the goods!

Once we reached Metro Center, we decided to split up briefly. Vick went to Macy's, which was close by and I popped back to the hotel, which was just around the corner.
