Thurs 7 Mar

Sun is shining, temps not too frigid these last couple of days (at least once the overnight cold dissipates). I get my hair cut this afternoon, but otherwise have the day to continue trip preparation. I was fortunately able to get the travel insurance settled yesterday after a long and frustrating bit of phone jockeying between people who continued to refer me to others who couldn't help. The final lady knew what I was talking about, was able to tell me exactly what to say in an email and to whom to address it to get the newly bought policy canceled and refunded and to send me the information I needed to make use of the one that is still in force. Whew! Got the confirmation of cancellation and refund later in the day. Food: 7:55 am Costco cinnamon roll, 101 g blackberries, coffee
