| DAY 7 | The Great switcheroo | |
Well we decided to abandon both plans A & B. We booked 2 nights in Charlotte some 6 hours from Kill Devil Hills.
We have arranged to arrive at our cabin a day early, avoiding the coast and Charleston.
Lunch was a visit to Wendys for the inevitable burger and a trip to dollar tree for me.
The journey was uneventful until we swept in to the outer edge of the hurricane which has thankfully been downgraded to a tropical storm.
We listened to fox news and were pleased to hear that there had been no loss of life, and damage to property was less than anticipated.
Rain continued as we picked our way through Charlotte and arrived at The Sheraton Hotel, the nice reception lady upgraded us to a city view.
We decided to stay in this evening although conditions outside seemed calm. Dinner and a beer at Craft City, with their uninspiring selection of craft beers
Ian liked our comfy spot in the bar, he adopted his best "Noel Coward" pose for his close up in his big chair!
Back in our room our city view has been switched on, we would love to rearrange all the furniture for the best views.
Spent some time talking to Hollie about Jans celebration of life, seems it couldn't have gone better. Surrounded by her family and friends Bryony delivered a wonderful tribute to our lovely Jan.
Sleep tight dearest friend.
Goodnight dear readers, Hope you appreciate the new pink specs Gareth xx
