First thing in the morning was to go directly back to the airport. To pick up Chie. She arrived 9:20 am with a Northwest (soon to be Delta) flight from Narita. The again the shuttle bus to the hotel where we got ready for serious shopping. But first a stop at a Korean restaurant for lunch. We needed some energy to have strength to shop.

After lunch we took the bus to Ala Mona shopping center. Chie wanted to check Nieman Marcus, Nordstrom, and the Apple Store. I wanted to check the Apple Store. Chie was quite lucky because Nieman Marcus had an April drive giving $200 gift certificate for each $500 purchase. So Chie got a summer dress for only $25. At the Duty Free Store they also had a drive. That resulted in another $60 gift certificate. Free cosmetics for Chie.

The only thing I bought was running shorts and two t-shirts from Lululemon Athletics. The sports clothing was really nice and I never seen it in Sweden so I think I will be the only one wearing it at the gym.

By 5 pm we were at Duke’s for dinner. A little bit early but we had decided to have an early dinner and then get back to the hotel. Chie wanted to see if her favorite American Idol, Jason Castro, could make it or not. It was elimination time at 8 pm. He made it!
