Visit to Urgent Care

 

Thursday, September 28, 2023

 

Jane continued to feel bad so chose to visit an urgent care office to seek additional medication since she was now having sinus pain.  The wait was not long and the doc chose to prescribe an antibiotic instead of an oral steroid to ensure she was not getting an infection that could spread to her lungs.  The visit and the trip to the pharmacy took most of the morning.  We visited a nearby Jersey Mike’s for a sandwich and chips which we enjoyed on a table near the pool back at our hotel.  Jane really did not care where we ate dinner so Ben chose what he remembered was a favorite from a previous visit – the Crab Trap.  This drive took us to the east into the very tip of Florida -Perdido Bay.  Regretfully this ended our vacation on a bad note – Jane ordered Redfish which she had enjoyed on previous visits to this area.  Ben had a Captain’s Platter.  Neither was good.  The grilled Redfish was too thin and small a piece to grill – if I got 3-4 bites that were not crispy tough, I would be surprised.  Ben did not enjoy his dinner either.  When we spoke to the manager as we left – she offered us a certificate to come again which was useless as we were leaving the next day…  won’t go back there!

Driving back to our hotel we stopped to gas-up for the trip home.  Beautiful sunset. 

 A word about our hotel in case we ever look back to return here again.  It was a fine Holiday Inn.  The access to the beach was good, the pool area very nice and it was clean.  Our room was right beside the elevator and while I thought this was great at first – the constant dinging of the elevator bell was not a plus.  We made the reservation late and did not have a beach view room.  We might ask for that in the future.  After 4 mornings the Holiday Inn breakfast was a bit old.  While the cinnamon rolls were great the first day – I did not want one the last!  They changed the hot offerings a bit but mainly it was the same every day.  The prices of all hotels have gone up over the last year – I did not feel it was worth nearly $180 a day.
