A Little Better

Cooler overnight and a few lingering showers. After breakfast we headed out to the stores as Lyn needed some stuff for her crafts this afternoon and I needed to get a parcel mailed. Unfortunately, when we got to the post office I found out that I had left the address at home. Before anyone asks why the parcel wasn’t already addressed, it was because I hadn’t got the mailing box yet. All was not lost as I picked up a (free) box from the post office.

I now withdraw some of my praise for the US postal service from a couple of days ago, when we got back to the RV I went on line to pay for and print a label for the parcel. All went well until it came time to pay. It appears that the US post office (and many other institutions) will only accept US credit cards! Not to worry, the post office will also accept payment from PayPal. Guess what, even though PayPal is an internationally recognised form of payment (like credit cards), the US post office will only accept payment from a US PayPal account. Looks like another trip to the post office is needed.

After lunch Lyn headed over to crafts and I headed back to the post office. I didn’t take the direct route, instead I did some geocaching on the way. I managed to get 5 out of 5 today and at the post office I finally managed to get the parcel on its way.

Once Lyn returned we headed off around the resort for our exercise. The forecast is promising for the next few days, so hopefully we will get out and about.
