THE trip is getting closer and closer, today is March 10th so I will be in New York in a little over three weeks. I shall be writing an article about my experiences and preperations for this trip for Grazia. It will be a part of their Challenges section, in which someone shares their experience with a certain challenge with the public.

My particular challenge will be going to the greatest city on earth for shopping and culture and NOT overspend…. The only way I can begin to fathom such a thing is through some serious preparation and agreements made prior to the trip. What kind of agreements, well how much time will be spent shopping and how much money?
