That dang escalator, huh? I know the one you're talking about. It IS steep. You step on it and sort-of sway to get your balance....and then with high heels....well, you silly, silly girl. LOL.

Two ideas for next time if you're trying to meet a friend downstairs. If you really can't get on the magical moving staircase, have your friend paged over the Mall speakers to meet you at the escalator or wherever. Another option is to go to the Security Desk at the front of the Mall, tell the attendant about your vertigo and ask him to have one of his Security Guards help you down the stairs. What guy wouldn't mind holding the arm of a pretty young woman, and if the Guard is a female, what's wrong with just holding onto her elbow or wrapping your arm through hers?

I don't know. Just throwing out ideas. But, yes....that particular escalator IS steep and if you have a phobia to begin with, then it's not the best contraption to hang onto!!

Take care and God bless!
