Day 30 - Manteo - Two Far 2022 - Reunion Bound (the long way around) - CycleBlaze

Day 30 - Manteo

While we listened to the wind howl outside, we made plans for the next few days.  Our plans are:

Plan #1 STAY OFF THE BIKE

Plan #2 Remain here in Manteo until Friday morning, when we expect light winds from the SE, a temperature above 70 and a 40% chance of showers.  (Today is Monday.)

Plan #3 Reschedule the next four days to accommodate Plan #2

Plan #4 Move to a larger room in this motel to be more comfortable for a longer stay

Plan #5 Stock up on food and drinks at the nearby grocery store

Plan #6 Jeanna get a haircut

Plan #7 Do laundry

Plan #8 Relax and enjoy being inside while outside is so inhospitable!

We accomplished everything except #7. We decided to wait and do laundry until the day before we leave so we start out again with all clean clothes. 

The motel owner was very nice and let us upgrade to larger room for no additional cost.  We're all set here now for three more days.  There are two grocery stores and several small restaurants within two blocks, so we have everything we need to wait out this weather pattern.

We'll post again when we're back on the road.

Jeanna & Kerry SmithTo Alain AbbateWe are enjoying this little pause in cycling days. It's good that we're in a place that is comfortable and close to stores. As long as we have food and WIFI, we're a happy couple.
I'm looking forward to reading about your Adriatic Adventures.

Keith A. SpanglerGuys, I need to learn to do this relaxing thing! I love your plan! The delay in reaching #7 is, well, easily cured. Always shower with your cloths on :)
