IRMA day 1

DAY 1 (Thursday September 7, 2017)
I have never liked Florida.    Too many thunderstorms.  Too much humidity.   Too many insects.
I got off work last night at 9, almost three hours later than usual.  Because batteries are either scarce in Daytona or overpriced due to the upcoming storm I had to get some in New York before I left.  I got almost $90 worth of batteries.  Also got no sleep because my flight left LaGuardia Airport at 7 in the morning.  Ever since Jet Blue started flying to Daytona Beach I have been flying there, but because they made the flight earlier I left from LaGuardia and flew into Orlando.  To get to Kennedy from my apartment would cost me about $70.  Why not pay less to go to LGA then spend $50 to get to Daytona Beach?
Flight was great.  I had a seat to myself.  In fact I had two rows to myself.  People are trying to leave Florida and not fly into the storm.
I had made arrangements with a nursing home a day or two earlier for mom to stay during the hurricane.  At the time I figured that she and my aunt would have professional care during Hurricane Irma.  After I landed I found out the paperwork hadn’t arrived at the nursing home.  I had to spend close to an hour navigating with the doctor’s office and the nursing home since I didn’t want the last bed to go to someone else.  That caused me to miss the shuttle to Daytona Beach.  I eventually arrived home at 5:00.
