[NAGDU] Malls

[nellie at culodge.com]

Hi Tracey,

I use face time all the time.  I use it at home, out shopping, cooking etc.
I have about 5 or so people with I-phones that I know I can call for help.
It is nice to call my sister if I am trying to pick out clothes, putting on
make-up or have her check my hair before going out.  Best part about that is
it is free.

Good luck!

Subject: [NAGDU] Malls

I live in New Jersey, where we have some seriously big malls.  I want to get
something at my nearest mall, but I really hate going there without a
sighted friend.  It's a big, loud, echoing space, and I can't make much
sense of it.  I recognize sometimes when we're going back from where we just
came, but mostly we just trot along passing mysterious things, following my
friend.  I did go once by myself, but it was hard to get anyone to give me
coherent directions.  I eventually found what I wanted, but it was not easy.

 

I also want to go to a couple places at an outdoor mall-one of those places
where the stores are in a big circle around a parking lot.  That's less
confusing than an inside mall, but can I use GPS to find what store I'm
close to, or isn't it specific enough for that?

 

Anyway, I'm wondering if people have strategies for dealing with finding
things in really big, loud malls.  

Tracy
