OBX this week

We arrived at the Outer Banks at 2:00 PM but were not allowed to check in until 4:00. Actually, we could check in but we could not go to our unit. Fortunately, we rode around the grounds and located our unit: third floor and no elevator! We had told them that we needed a ground floor due to Don's leg. They had assured us on the phone before we came that we had a ground unit...not!! Well, he climbed up once but was unable to make it farther so we asked to be changed. The only unit on the ground floor they had left was a much smaller one, a partial kitchen, one small bedroom and bath. We had to give up a full kitchen, a jacuzzi, a view of the ocean and the sound, and a fireplace! We even brought wood from home. I asked Don if he really wanted to make the switch and he said we really didn't have a choice if we wanted to stay. I guess we will adjust before the week is over.

I understand there are some planned activities, such as a pancake brunch one morning. Tonight has just been one to stay in and give Don's leg a chance to improve. Hopefully, things will improve as the week progresses.
