The Adventure Continues

The adventure continues...
I'm back on my iPad because my computer died.
My laptop's internal battery has been 
threatening for months.
Yesterday it said DONE.

So...
This morning we are tidying up the house
And then we are heading over to a member's
House where we were assigned to help out.

They are out of town, so we are checking
their home to make sure everything is ok.
Then it is back to the house to finishing
packing up and getting ready to leave.

The computer is not allowing us
to get our assigned seats and boarding passes.
I talked to the Delta agent and she confirmed
that we are checked in,
but we can't get our seats or boarding passes
until we arrive at the airport.

Since Rod is flying international,
he needs to check in 3 hours early.

Which means 3:10 a.m.
Hahahahahahahaha

Our plan is to drive over to the airport
this evening after dinner.
Traffic is still heavy with people
trying to come back to their homes
after evacuating.
We would rather deal with that when
we have hours and hours to get to our
final destination.

Once we get to the airport, we will
check our bags, get our seat assignments,
find a comfy couch (Orlando is a very comfy airport)
and settle in with our electronic devices.
What's one more night staying up with an iPad
on your lap?   LOL

We are leaving the house boarded up,
since Matthew is forecasted to circle around
and hit Florida again.
It is forecasted to hit well south of us,
but you never know.
And of course, Nicole is also coming.
And there is a disturbance behind Nicole.

Scott (Rod's big brother) is out of town,
but will be back here mid week,
don't want him to have to worry about 
taking care of the house.

Keeping the patio doors covered does
create a couple of problems though.
1.  Our neighbors are gathering our eggs and I told
her to just open the door and pile the buckets
inside the door.  Jim is coming over on Thurs to
wash and deliver the eggs for the week.  We will
need another plan for that.

2.  Scott will be staying here overnight once
he gets back from S. Carolina mid week.
He generally comes in through the patio doors.
The front door is unable to open from outside.
It works fine from inside!  LOL
Guess he will have to come in through the tack room.
It's turned into a catch-all room for all the 
things we had to get off the patio, etc.
There IS a path from the door through
the room, but it's pretty full.
The only light is on the ceiling fan which
is in the middle of the room, and of course,
it's VERY dark in there when he arrives after midnight.
He will need to carry a flashlight.

It opens into our bedroom,
and there is no light switch on that side
of the room, so he'll just have to keep his
flashlight on to be able to get through
our room and across the hall into his room.

Meanwhile, I'd better get busy making us
some breakfast.  Rod is outside feeding the animals,
I'd better get busy feeding the humans.

I'll stay in touch!
