Keeping busy 

"Loop Energy" is an often challenging, addictive puzzle game. I zoomed through 30+ levels until tiredness overcame my mental faculties.

The Elevate app is another good distraction. It has enticing brain exercises to bolster maths, grammar and other cognitive abilities. Although, it requires a subscription to take full advantage of it.

I've also upped my Zinio magazine subscription. So much reading to catch up on.

Day 2

Breakfast gets delivered at 7AM. The staff knocks twice on your door to let you know.  They leave the meal on a chair outside your room door. Each room has chair outside the door blocking the way out. It's a not-so-subtle way of letting you know that you shouldn't "cross this line." For breakfast, it was cereals (granola), milk, a juice box, muffin and a power bar.  We made ourselves some tea to go with it. Day 2: Breakfast At around 11AM, another two knocks on the door. They delivered two water bottles and two apples. Mid-morning snack I suppose. 12PM. Lunch time. Salad with grilled chicken. 8PM. Dinner is delivered. For us, it was vegetarian pasta.

Day 0 - Leaving San Francisco

So, it is. 6+ years in the USA coming to an end. Although, we had planned to leave around 2021-2022 once our work visa expired, Covid-19 expedited our decision to leave. Being away from family and friends during this hard time was daunting to say the least. We were lucky enough to have booked our flight in late June on United Airways flight 863 which departed right on time given how empty the airport was.  I would say there was barely 30 people waiting in the embarkment lounge. Nothing much to report other than that. It was a pretty uneventful flight. The aircrew and service was pretty pleasant. 13h40 minutes later, we'd be landing in Sydney. Au Revoir San Francisco. Thanks for being a great host.
