My new adventure begins in a hotel at home, though. The military does 2 packing days, dividing it up by what you are shipping and what you're putting into long term storage, and they schedule separate days for loading the stuff. So we started living in a hotel as of today as all our kitchen stuff got packed, so we have nothing to cook with or eat on. We're in an extended stay place, so we have a small kitchenette as we might be here about a month and won't want to have takeout all the time. I've lived in hotels for a month at a time in my old recruitment job, and you miss having home-cooked meals. We don't have a full kitchen set, so there isn't a lot we can cook at "home," but we will have the odd thing we can do, and it will be a nice change from takeout and restaurant food.
And the reason for the delay?
As you might imagine, it's the pandemic. We only just received info about our accommodations in the UK, and we are still waiting for our passports, so hopefully those will arrive soon. It's difficult enough to travel in a pandemic, let alone internationally, but we'll eventually get through it, and the mandatory self-isolation period when we arrive. So at some point, we'll have adventures!
