After two cancellations and reschedulings and much uncertainty, we traveled yesterday from Newark to Tampa on a Max9 plane that we trusted had been thoroughly inspected. TSA in Newark was easy compared to the nightmare of last year. The flight was smooth and arrived a bit early. We found our Uber ride easily and successfully opened the lobby door and our 512 condo door with the new passcodes.
Then the trouble began when we could not get back into the lobby. This time the code would not work. We called the emergency number and communicated with difficulty. I envisioned our sitting outside for the night--unless someone happened to leave the building and thus open the door to let us in! Eventually we got a call from Bonnie, who was on call and told us how to open a lock box next to the bike rack. Sadly it was too dark to see the numbers--but iphone flaslights helped. The numbers were still hard to read--but we opened the box to get the key to the stairwell. We were given strict instructions to replace the key in the box for the next person who might need it. We walked up the five flights of stairs.
And we were able to get into the condo again. It was not a good night of sleep for me--just too wired from the day's journey and too full of nachos! This morning Jim walked across the street to get us muffins and Starbucks coffee and will probably make a solo trip to Publix with a list because I am walking with difficulty. We did our Nassau Presbyterian Church via livestream and heard a pastor from Myanmar speak of the dire situation there and how churches can and need to help.
It's a cloudy and cold day here and we have even put on the heat. But it's colder in New Jersey and it's blizzard weather in Michigan.
