I do the majority of my shopping on the internet or one or two shops (one where I live, one where my sister lives). However, I do go on trips with groups of women when I go to tennis tournaments. The ladies always want to shop because we live in a small town and do not have access to many shopping opportunities. So, yes, I do go with them to shop. It is fun; most of the time I do not buy anything, but have to admit that I did buy a dress and a beautiful splurge leather jacket when we went to Las Vegas. It may not be that I would do this on my own. But, with a group and when you are with a diverse group on a trip, you need to be flexible to get along, I enjoy those trips to the stores.
