Most of the time I have the process down pat. Saturday mornings I drive to the nail salon in Ship Bottom to get there by 9:30 a.m. to try to avoid the changeover traffic of the renters who are in a mad rush to get off the Island. Then I hit the market in Beach Haven by 11 a.m. to miss the new renters coming onto the Island who soon will be jamming the aisles to get their goods and wares for their week of fun.

Most of the time this schedule saves my sanity and I am able to avoid the traffic and people.
