Living Out of a Suitcase
I have checked into the new hotel, and trying to get a little settled before my sister gets in. Her flight is scheduled to arrive about 9:30 p.m. and she will take the airport shuttle to the hotel, unless something comes up and the shuttle is not running and I will come to get her.
I plan on leaving about 9:45 to head down to El Pollo Loco to get something for us to eat to bring back to the room. We have a refrigerator and microwave, so no place to cook, like I had in the last place. (But they do have a hot breakfast here. The last place was instant oatmeal, coffee and granola bars.) Hopefully, I will get back before she arrives.
I have unpacked some, but realized that I packed way too much stuff. I am going to keep most packed, and will pull things out that I need, if I do not have it out already. It has been a long time since I have been on-the-road and living out of a suitcase. I will know better next time.
I still have work to do. I need to see about whether the hotel will scan some evaluations and email them to me, so that I can email them to the Project Manager. I also have to compile some other information and get it to one of the team leads. They want them tonight.
Tomorrow, my sister and I have a conference call, and we will get updated information on the project (more changes), and I have to get her up to par on where we are and get through a few hours of study. Hopefully, she can help me set up these two Chromebooks and download the presentations. I am having a tough time figuring it out.
I also need to find a secure line to access my bank to pay my bills. I may see if my friend will allow me to do so. I probably should call the companies and pay it over the phone, but I do not even want to look at my bank account. That is one of the things that is crazy about traveling. There is no security that I know of for information.
Well, hope everyone is doing well. Take care and be well!

A lot of hotels now have a business center in or near the lobby where you can make copies, send faxes, and scan documents as well as use a PC if you don't have your own. I know your sister will appreciate your planning to have a meal ready when she gets there as I imagine she will be ready for a late supper after her flight.

Hope you get everything done and can get a good nights rest also.

Their "business center" consists of a computer and a printer. They offered to scan the documents for me, and they did, but they never arrived to two different email addresses (tried twice). I just took pictures, four at a time, to email. *rolls eyes*

I can imagine how excited you must feel to be seeing your sister again. Thanks for a glimpse until your life on the road.

Always so busy! Hope you and your sister have an enjoyable time.

Living out of a suitcase almost sounds like living out of a backpack - except there isn't a business center or a hotel. 😀

You seem to be adjusting well to all the somewhat new experiences and even to Central time.

Been there, done that with the bills and traveling. I try to schedule them to be paid before I go, and estimate the amount if there is no regular payment that comes out. Then I just have to bear the interest until I get to the next one. Not so bad really if I know the approximate amount, and if I pay over, then that's less for the next month.
