Moving hotels and travel plans

Our insurer, Manulife, is determining our travel plans. These plans have changed significantly in just 48 hours. We had been told that Brad would need to stay 10 days past his discharge day from the hospital. That would’ve had us leaving Spain on March 22. We were also told that we would be travelling with a nurse or a doctor. I proceeded to find an apartment hotel for us to stay in for those 10 days.

Well, surprise! Yesterday we were informed that we will be repatriated on Monday, March 16! And no medical escort. So now we have booked and paid for nine hotel nights of which we’ll be using three. Oh well. We’ve moved into the apartment hotel and it’ll be lovely for the three days we have left here.

In order keep Brad from exerting himself, we moved the luggage to the new hotel in two trips which was a mere seven minute walk from our old one. Fortunately, the luggage is all on wheels so he didn’t have to do any of that. I did the pulling and it was easy peezy.

We walked around the market and had lunch at a cafe before the second luggage transfer. Once settled at the new hotel Brad took a nap before heading up to our hotel’s rooftop bar. (Brad isn’t drinking alcohol but I am.😉)

Jerez old town is extremely compact so everything is close by. It’s perfect for Brad because we never have to walk more than 15 minutes to get anywhere. He’s getting to experience the city without overdoing it.

We had dinner at a local cafe and then went to a nearby tabanco to see a traditional flamenco 💃 show. Ole!Read more
