Oct 10 th departure

Checked in easily, looking for some food to take on the plane. Got some hummus and veggies. Then a chai latte. I put my protein powder in my latte. Then I noticed my wheel broke on my carry on. Now it is a drag it on. There is nowhere open to replace it. I got to my seat and the guy next to me helped me get the free Internet to work. 
    lovely to be met in Charlotte with a table and people. Then I got an escort over to the car rental place where there's a really long line but one of our party of three is in line to get the car already. I'm hoping we stop somewhere and get lunch on the way to headquarters. We stopped at Ed's Tavern for lunch and the special today is a Cuban Pita.
    I got checked in at the Charlotte headquarters and I'm going to a hotel for tonight and then orientation tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. and then I go to Asheville. I should be sharing a room. 
    On the way out of the Red Cross bldg we noticed a bunch of scratches on the side of the car we didn't notice them in the dark parking garage. Glad I took pictures of the car. You can see them if you zoom in.
     We got the car situation straightened out. Brad who is working with feeding is going to the staff shelter in pine-something tonight. The spiritual counselor and I got hotel rooms and don't even have to share rooms.
The bed is really comfortable.  I washed the clothes I wore today and am not even opening my duffel tonight. I'll wait till I get to Ashville cause I may not get it closed again.
We will meet at 730 for breakfast and then go to the red Cross building for orientation. Everyone had been very nice.

I finished packing and left for rc HQ. I went the wrong way on the freeway and it was 3 miles before I could turn around. I was trying to get there at 7a. Well it was 7:15 but no trouble. I returned my first aid kit. Turned in my, cpc card. Made copies of all my expenses and expenses report, turned in receipts. Turned in car keys and reported the scratches on the car.  Met my ride and we set off to the airport. The gps took city streets instead of the freeway. It took about half an hour. In the river district we passed more evidence of Helene's destruction. Checking in and security was very quick. I usually fill my water bottle from city water after security but if course the water is not potable.  I had to buy some. And they're happened to be a cinnabon stall. I bought a mini one. It was plenty.       Yea! I got bin space on my first flight. In Atlanta I took a train to terminal B. I spent an hour and a half in a ...

It's a frosty morning. Mary and I went to do laundry and met a road crew from Tennessee. Then we went to get coffee for our co-workers. I got a call from Fran at headquarters and I'm being reassigned as well as Rhonda and have to be in Asheville tomorrow by 9: 30am. I have to bring all the DHS supplies with me back to headquarters. It's a lot of stuff. So I'm dropping Mary back off at the house to sleep then I get to go exploring. I stopped at the Christmas shop  We have been seeing it every night. All lit up on the way home from the shelter. I had to stop by. Next I went to waterfalls Park. Apparently that's the same park I saw the other waterfall in. But I got a much better view. It's 11:30 now so I'm going to go get myself and Cindy a salad for lunch from the hospital salad bar.        From there I hung around at the shelter and had my lunch. Hoping I could sit...
