So we're here again on the streets of Old Town Alexandria.

And today we're going to be asking people what their plans for the

rest of the day are and if they have any plans for their future.

So... follow us along.

Uh... so it's a simple question.

And that is...

What are your plans for today?

My plans for today...

- I don't think we've decided yet. - are to walk up the street.

Yes we have! We're gonna go have lunch and then after that

we are going to do some shopping.

We're going down to the water to have a few drinks

and have some girl time and sun.

- 'Girl Time.' That means we're not invited.

No! You're not invited. - Okay.

I'm going to take the Metro back home and then I'm gonna watch Netflix.

- And chill?

Yes.

My plans for the rest of the day? I'm going back to work.

I work at a shop. It's actually really and interesting shop.

It's a sex shop. - Okay.

Yeah... it is... um. So... it's called Lotus Blooms and we sell corsets

and we sell sex toys and we're education based.

So... I'm a sex educator... not just working at a shop and...

yeah... it's really cool.

We... are going to continue on our walk

and then we'll go home and um... make dinner. - Yeah.

And... - What do you plan to make?

Pizza! - I think we're doing Pizza tonight.

- Homemade pizza? - Yeah!

Well... we're from the Philadelphia area.

So... we're gonna be leaving here soon...

after we do a little more shopping... Go back to my daughter's house

and then pack up and... head back up to Philly.

My plans for the rest of the day... Enjoy it with these guys...

Maybe go have a few drinks... get some good food

and then go do some homework... for school... yeah.

Um... I'm gonna ride my bike home and then walk my dog

and then take a nap. - Okay. - That's not true at all!

You don't have a dog? - You don't even have a dog? - No.

And I don't have a bike. - And you never sleep.

I'm definitely going to take a nap.

- Okay. At least it's partially true.

Today I will be fabulous... like I always am. And uh...

I will live my life to the fullest and continue to enjoy

'A Traveler's View' which is my business.

Same thing... and sleep! I'm gonna sleep. - And sleep? - Uh huh...

as soon as I can!

Um... I'm going to take pictures and...

I don't have any other plans for today.

I'm going to do what she's doing and what everybody else is doing

and then I'm gonna go home and... probably sit on the couch.
